They were asleep and you woke them up!!!! Don't worry they will probably go back to sleep unless the Lord uses what you said to do a broader work in them. peggy

I hope you don't think I am being literal here, don't you think that God has put some desire to be satisfied within Satan or is he a robot or machine that just does stuff with no sense of self, no void that is filled as he does his work, consuming man's carnality.

Hi Joe,
Nahh Just messin with ya.... ;D
To be perfectly honest, I really don't know, I know there is a plan and purpose for Satan and his minions, but i really don't have a clue as to how he "feels"......Is there Good in Satan?...I dont think so?...If there is no contrast..does he know what Bad is?...see what i'm gettin at?
Peace

That is extremely interesting Chris...
we know he is to be thrown into the LoF... maybe not until then will he know such contrast.

In one of Rays Bible studdies he put it all very simply when he quoted Paul and said that these people have an evil heart of unbelief, and its that simple.
For instance a very simple yet profound prophecy and declaration From Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
For a long time I just read this scripture and just thought of it as part of Christs sermon on the mount to his disciples, and like most Christians just thought of it as a compassionate statement. But in this brief and simple verse, Christ is saying so much to us. Its actually another proof scripture that God will save ALL of mankind. If just one person goes to an eternal hell to be tormented and tortured for all eternity, then this scripture is a lie. What comfort can there be for a mourning family if their loved one is in hell? None at all. Jesus Christ said those who mourn shall be comforted, I profoundly believe that. Mainstream Christians do not. In fact, I know of many that are only too happy to tell a grieving family that a tragically lost loved one is being tortured in hell.
I recently had an email exchange with one such heretic who claims to be a minister (after two emails I responded no more). He actually asked the question "do you believe this nonesense because you have lost someone? My best friend recently lost his unsaved father, who is now in hell. He is struggling but I have told him he needs to deal with it and start loving God or he could share the same fate." For the life of him he could not see the monstrous evil in what he was saying. The mainstream Christian message is no different to the message of an insane genocidal dictator like Hitler or Saddam "love me or I will torture you forever". There is no deeper depravity.

David,
Good catch. I find this same message over and over... the good news is everywhere.
Mat 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Just to add to your observation... even non-believers mourn... they too shall be comforted.
Another one that is a favorite of a friend of mine:
Mat 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
The first will be last and the last will be first... but all will be in the kingdom.
