Hi Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for that answer.\u00a0(See post dated 8\/28\/2018: Who Were the \u201cDevils\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n

I heard before the pastor said “the devils that Jesus cast out in earth were creatures like man living in the formless and dark as genesis 1:2 said” before God created the new world. They just complicate it.<\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

That is strange teaching. \u00a0Not from God.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

They also said that Satan is an angel and a worshiper.<\/span><\/p>\n

They said that they are big than humans and they have wings too. Humans are made to worship. After Satan and his angels had been cast out, no worshiper in heaven so God need a worshiper and he calling all humans to worship him. Satan did not want believers to worship God because its a noise to him and he tremble.\u00a0 The weapons against them is worship\u00a0(<\/em>Ephesians 6:12)\u00a0(very strange interpretation)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

All that is an invention of man. \u00a0You can just forget about all that.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was very different from your understanding, Angels have no wings and they are like humans (Hebrews 13:2) Satan is not an angel but a cherub (Ezekiel 28).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When a man living in God’s kind of life is what really Satan hates because\u00a0all they can do is sin and they cannot have God’s kind of life. So he deceives in earth as a roaring lion knowing that he has little time.\u00a0(clearer) If pastors can know this they can say\u00a0 ‘Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.’ (2 Corinthians 2:11)” (Pastor John)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Is it possible that Satan became “the god of this world\u201d when Adam disobeyed God?\u00a0(When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam\u2019s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. Romans 5:12)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible does not say, but that is probably when it happened, yes.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

“And the great Dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent who is called the Accuser, and Satan, who deceives the whole world.\u00a0 He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.\u00a0 And I heard a great voice in heaven saying, ‘For this, rejoice, O heavens and those who dwell in them!\u00a0 Woe to the earth and the sea!\u00a0 For the Accuser has come down among\u00a0y<\/em>ou, having great anger, knowing that he has little time\u201d’ (Rev. 12:9, 10a, 12).<\/span><\/p>\n

In that verse, is it correct that Satan will not come back to heaven?<\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

That is correct.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

And from the time Satan and his angels had been cast out in heaven, is it possible that the remaining angels will not sin?\u00a0(\u00a0For this, rejoice, O heavens and those who dwell in them!)<\/em>\u00a0Satan deceives now in earth but not in heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leika<\/span><\/p>\n

=========<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, the remaining angels are faithful. \u00a0And Satan has no remaining influence in heaven. \u00a0Nor does he have any influence on the holy Ghost that is in you!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
