Humans predate neandrathals?

Thanks for posting this. It is food for thought.
With regards to this particular point:
--- Quote ---So here is the ultimate test... and I believe this was represented in a vision as the other must have been, as Satan influences the minds eye. I believe Satan showed/tempted Jesus with the idea that He did not really have to go through that horrible crucifixion and the humiliation of it all, that He could stop right there and could actually take over the world at once. He could start His reign at once and the salvation of the world as Satan seductively offered. Satan could not actually "give" that to Jesus, all is God's, but he certainly would be displaced if Jesus did.

I have a query regarding Satan, as he is not God, and does not know the future; as this Scripture alludes to (as Satan must be one of the princes of this world:
I Corinthians 2:8: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Also, as Satan is the god of this world, he certainly could offer all the kingdoms of this world - as they are his.
It certainly makes sense if this was a vision in the minds eye.
Kind Regards.
George.

I believe the Scriptures you quoted are literally true. The Scriptures tell us Satan is the god of this world and that he is the prince of the power of the air. So I believe he has the power to do what those Scriptures say he did.
However, even with the power he had, and Jesus being in a weakened physical state, Jesus kicked Satan's sorry serpentine rear end all over the desert. Which always makes me smile.

So True.
I would like to know more about what this 'he is the prince of the power of the air' actually means though.
Kind Regards.

Thank you for you post. It makes sense, especially this segment:
--- Quote ---Paul called his experiences "visions and revelations" of the Lord, yet in trying to describe it could not say whether he was "caught up" "in the body or out of the body". Forget Literal and "allegory" for a moment. It was that "real" to Paul. Just because "visions" and "revelations" are "in the mind" does not make them "unreal". It just makes them "visions and revelations".

Hi George,
The phrase "prince of the power of the air" comes from Eph 2:2.
Job 1:18-19 may point you toward one aspect of that term. May God guide your understanding.

I will certainly seek His Face about Job 1:18-19 and the rest.
Kind Regards.
