Abso...All true and good stuff Tera & Justin...<br /><br />Absolutely true that there is a battle going on. Regardless of the outcome known by our faith, we live out our hope for the best and most excellent way. Love is our measure and it is an unending debt. <br /><br />Anyone ONE person can affect anyone else, for better or worse; good or bad (in varying degrees, as noted; and sometimes in combination). Anyone who denies that we affect each other has not referenced their bible, does not understand the human psyche, has some hidden motive/ excuse or has no true relationships. <br /><br />So what to do about this amazing power we all possess...? Will our hopes match our faith in love?hananiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08521723592204414686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671294921242834215.post-9849259323132173352009-06-15T15:51:12.978-07:002009-06-15T15:51:12.978-07:00Great points Tera.

You are right about God being infinitely powerful and can always defeat satan. and things are different since Jesus. <br /><br />Here are my comments. You're right God is stronger, but he doesn't get overly involved. He has to let people choose him. I think he does hold back the demons alot because if he allowed them full reign they'd destroy the earth. At the same time, he allows life to happen. i think the battle is in the hearts of men. what will we do? both influence us, but we decide. Really Jesus won the war already because he defeated death and gave us a way out. <br /><br />Also I absolutely believe that any amount of good or evil done by one person effects the people around you to one degree or the other. I think a bad leader could lead a group astray, and they'll be judged harder for that. one thing that is different from OT and NT is that Israel was both a country and a spiritual group of people. Now to belong to the kingdom you don't have to be part of the country. So Israel can have people in the country, leaders included, that are part of the group, but not spiritual. i think the Jews had it harder back then to maintain spirituality with their country. I hope this helps. You might want to read the beginning of Job as well. Satan has to ask God permission to touch Job. There's also the thought that demons are just the fallen angels. so on omniscient, but powerful.Justin Seibelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095805814242308173noreply@blogger.com
