..the devil was an angel who defied or disobeyed God.
Adam & Eve were tempted by the devil and they sinned. If it were not for this two Adam & Eve, if it were not for the devil defiling God in the very beginning, . .
.men,,,I wonder where & how Id be thinking right now
As Adams descendants we were born dead through sin (i.e. we were born as sinners) through his disobedience to God. And as his descendants again we are born-again through faith in Jesus Christ of which we are put right with God. By being saved, ones past sins are cancelled in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus acts as our lawyer before GOD. There is absolutely NO way through to God except through Jesus Christ, believe it or not.
We do not put faith in God only to go to heaven or to have life after death. This world is ruled by the prince of the world i.e. the devil. All the earthly possessions e.g. going out, catching strokes from time to time, getting high on weed, tch & what have you, watching holywood boring movies, idolizing 50 cents and his crap musiq
etc etc are worldly desires which bear birth to sin. Those are just few examples. They are the complete opposite of Gods intentions for us. The only way and I mean the only way to have power over sin is through no one but Jesus Christ. By putting faith in Jesus we have power to say NO to this worldly possessions or desires that bear birth to sin. Salvation is a free gift to those who seek it. It cannot be bought or sold. Its a free gift given to us through His grace.
The devil will be defeated very very soon (Coming of Christ). i.e. he will exist NO MORE. Those who have been put right with God (born-again) will live forever with Him, in paradise
heaven. Those who accept Christ then like you Safina, when He comes will have their heads chopped off, the non-believers will have a mark of the beast installed upon them who knows what God will do to them but I assure you it will be undescribably ugly & ungodly.
Jesus is the way, the truth & the Life
.so get saved Safina (get out of the confusion-mania) and let the devil know you are not his own
