Q: This is probably an odd question to ask someone like you, but if you were the devil, what would you try to do in the world? And how would you do it? Don't worry—I'm not fascinated with the devil or anything like that, but I'm just curious what you'd say. — M.Y.
A: Dear M.Y.,
I can't imagine being the devil, of course! The devil is absolutely opposed to God and His will, which is one reason why we shouldn't become fascinated with him or imagine that he is cute or harmless. He isn't!
But if I were the devil, I would just keep on doing what the devil already does: oppose God in every way possible. God is for good; Satan is for evil. God wants what is best for us; Satan wants what is worst for us. Don't be misled: If a person serves Satan (whether they realize they are doing so or not), they are going away from God and straight toward what the Bible calls Hell. Why would anyone want to serve him?
How does the devil work? First, by deception—trying to convince us that his way is better than God's way. But the Bible warns, "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness" (Isaiah 5:20). The devil twists the truth, trying to make us believe that God (and not he) is a liar.
The devil also works by bringing death and destruction in his wake. Jesus said, "He was a murderer from the beginning" (John 8:44). But listen: Satan is a defeated foe! By His death and resurrection Jesus Christ defeated the powers of death and hell. Is your hope in Christ?

it's an intresting fact-about 20 or so years ago, there were only 2 major philosophers belonging to the school of christainity, the rest belonged to the humanist/relist school. then those two started to evangalise. and the number of christain philosophers started to grow. and grow. and grow.
indeed, i'm not overly sure when it was, but the leader of the humaist/relist school in effect gave up! he said that the christans had beaten them on every point! whatever they said, the chrsitains somehow countered it!

But you can also read the whole Bible and never understand it that is why you pray first by asking the Holy Spirit to reveal its truth to you and asking for God's Wisdom and His Knowledge not your own. The Bible says for those who want wisdom as God for it.
I have read the bible, many times in fact, AND I have prayed furiously to god that he would reveal its truths to me. Based on your messages, however, the truths that were revealed to me seem to be quite different from the truths revealed to you. How do we decide whose truths are...uhm...true?

Originally posted by geniusWhile we're on the subject of biblical quotes, one my personal favourite is Deutoronomy 21, v13-21 - if no proof can be found that my wife was a virgin when i married her, then "she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death."

Originally posted by RBHILLI am just saying what I have interpreted from the few true Christians I know. They are kind, and very helpful, and don't resort to Bible quotes if they are asked a question they don't understand. Unlike you, you unsophisticated philistine.
Your a demon person so you have no athority of defining a Christian. Only Born Again Believers Truly do.
Believe in evolution, believe in God, don't believe in God, do whatever the hell you want, just don't push it on me!

Originally posted by RBHILLYes you are. You are constantly telling us that Jesus is the one true path, and He shall Rescue you.

What is it with you and puitting capital letters in the middle of a sentence anyway (like above)? It's not a noun, nor does it require a capital. For someone who is 23 years old, you sound pretty stupid with capitals that don't make sense.
Another thing; what made you a born again Christian?
