One of the Most Asked Questions

Posted in Christian values by

I suppose it has at some time been asked by millions, perhaps billions. If God has all this power, why does he permit satan to continue live on planet earth.

First, let me say, I don’t know. I have considered the question considerably, though likely from a little different view. Most ask why doesn’t God just kill Satan? I have asked what is it that stops Him from destroying the devil?

What’s the difference? Well, we all know God can destroy Satan. That’s a given. It really breaks into 2 questions, doesn’t it? First, He can utterly destroy the devil. On the other hand God can confine him and make him pay forever for all he has done. Obviously, God has decided on the second. This is not conjecture. The, Bible makes this clear in the book of Revelation. The fact is, Satan knows his destiny, all the while fighting to stop it.

So. Just what stops God from doing it right here and now? The Bible cautions us from speculation. Certainly I have no inside track. No one has spoken to me from mountain tops. However, I do have the ability to reason, as we all do.

Therefore, let’s look at some things that are Biblical and do some some sound reasoning. First, the Bible calls Satan the Prince of the Air. What does that mean? Well, as any prince, he has power and he has authority. Remember, for sure, power and authority are two different things.

Before man’s fall, Satan had power. However, he had no authority on this earth. In Genesis, we are told that Adam had the authority, as given to him by God.

Suddenly, once Adam ate the fruit, Satan had the authority. Something happened. There was a transfer of authority. Perhaps it is as a transfer of a deed. I don’t know. Maybe I am oversteping it. It is partially conjecture.

However, one thing is indisputable. Satan has authority that he did not have before. He is the prince and God, being of perfect righteousness, recognized this authority. If He simply took the kingdom back, that wouldn’t be right.

It shows a difference between our thinking and God’s thinking. We, in a similar situation, would simply destroy Satan. Instead God’s plan is different. He bought back the authority, that is He purchased the authority with a price.

That price was His only son, a sacrifice slain from before time.

Then, at a time of God’s choosing, He will use his power and He will do it with full authority. He will not destroy Satan, his demons or any of those who have rejected Him. Instead, they will suffer an eternal punishment for all the wrong they have done and for every evil thought they had.

Regardless, if I be completely right or not, just maybe if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, it is now the time to change that.

To Jesus, the Son of the living God, all authority has been given. Hence, he has the the power and authority to save everyone. However, Jesus is righteous. He will not force you to accept Him. You have the choice. You have the right to reject his gift of salvation. It is the power of Satan to give you false reasons to deny Him. No one will force salvation on anyone.

A Frequent Question These Days

The question that people seem to be asking in some way or shape is, do you believe that aliens exist.

Well, I’ll settle that right here and now. They do exist. You can see them by the thousands. They are living amongst us. I might say, they don’t even try to conceal themselves.

They come in various sizes. Some might try to run but most give up quickly. It is as if they want to be caught. They would go back from wince they came but they decided they like it here. It’s kinda like the droves of folks in the 1960s that visited California then they decided to stay.

I guess we’re just stuck with them. Though they arrived illegally, they seem to be here to stay. It seems so very few have any desire to obey the law.

And so it is, another one of those things that is so casual to the most obvious observer. I mean, just how many aliens does it take before their existence is confirmed.

Do you suppose they will decide to leave after the dems gain absolute control, as in California.

Another Compliment

That’s right. They just keep coming. I was in the parking lot when the man approached me and told me how much he liked my car. He asked what kind. I told him Nissan, electric. Then he really became interested.

Then, I saw his car, a black Mercedes, may I add a very nice sportty looking thing. I told him that he had a nice set of wheels too. I expected him to be proud of it but he wasn’t, though he did thank me.

Whether it was his intention or not, it was a shot to my ego. I simply am not used to getting compliments on my car. It wasn’t my purpose when I bought the car. I am a very practical person. However, if people driving Mercedes want to compliment me, I’ll take.
