We know that God wins, God knows that God wins, Satan knows that God wins. Satan is literally required to give hints towards his evil (I bring this up because I've had someone ask 'what if Satan wrote the Bible?' well, it's because God wouldn't allow that. Deception of that level breaks free will. So if everyone knows that God wins and Satan is forced to disclose his evil, why does anyone choose Evil? I can't wrap my head around it. They know they lose and will suffer. If they repent they won't. How can someone choose eternal damnation?

Pride
A great number of people have been brainwashed to believe that neither God nor satin exist. I'm pretty sure that will change when they see God move his hand; and that's gonna be sooner that we think. Revival is upon us.
I bookmarked it for later reading. Thanks fren.
People turned away from God and enjoy their sin so He has given them a debased mind.
Romans 1:26-31
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
That brings up another question though, why are some people able to be gay while others aren't? Acting gay would be both torture and a sin for me, so it's easy to not act gay because I don't want to. But God let some people enjoy it
God let them have freedom of will. Their homo ways are not free will but the spirit of homsexuality. Possession during the act. Society has removed boundaries of self c9ntrol fom some people. It's an affliction which h God wants to heal them of. Roman's says its what happens when God is rejected. The bottom is homo stuff then death. God heals and delivers all who seek to be. Also says theybare void of judgment. But we have them running important shit everywhere and inany cases not well. .
They do not believe that it is a sin. Debased minds do not follow God's word and do not fear His wrath they only alot for pleasure and what it in their hearts. They have been deceived.
Q told us the end won't be for everyone, and I think that's because some people are 'tares'.
they're empty and not able to have the attributes you mention. they're not built that way.
Matthew 13:35-43
35 That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, and will utter the things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36 Then sent Jesus the multitude away, and went into the house. And his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of that field.
37 Then answered he, and said to them, He that soweth the good seed, is the son of man,
38 And the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom, and the tares are the children of that wicked one.
39 And the enemy that soweth them, is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers be the Angels.
40 As then the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity,
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the just men shine as the sun in the kingdom of their father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
“I was in the death struggle with self: God and Satan fought for my soul those three long hours. God conquered – now I have only one doubt left – which of the twain was God?” — Aleister Crowley
The one who won.
Greater is he that is in me than he who is in this world.
For it is Christ in You, the hope of glory.
Think about it, Christ in you, Christ in you, his hands behind your hands, eyes behind your eyes as you align your mind with the promises of God's word putting on the mind of Christ. Renewed mind action on the Word of God.
We live way to far below the power God gave to us along with the gift of holy spirit.
many ever learning and never coming unto a knowledge of the truth.
many ever learning yet denying the power thereof.
There are two types of people in this world:
Those that will wait for a greater reward.
Those that want rewarded now, even when the reward is far less than what they would receive had they waited.
I heard a Satanist interviewed once and I was surprised to hear the person say that they followed and worshipped satan because of how much they hated God. They acknowledged knowing the truth but choosing the death that Satan brings because they wanted nothing to do with God. They knew the reality of eternity. I was somewhat surprised but it was interesting to say the least.
Many people who choose evil think they are choosing good. I had an ex gf who started getting into tarot cards, psychics, past lives and a whole bunch of other bullshit that brings darkness. Others here have answered "pride" and this is correct. People think they can find their own way to truth apart from God and so they pursue it.
If someone slipped a message under my door and I did not know who wrote it or why, I would never trust the message. So, it always amazes me that people try to tap into entire other dimensions and then just take the message they receive at face value.I tried to reason with her for a while then gave up. The lesson I learned is that someone can have many good qualities and still choose evil. If they are determined to do so, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Literally the only thing you can do at that point is pray for them.
How does requiring hints or disallowing deception not break free will?
Also, if Satan wrote the Bible, couldn’t we just assume that everything in it including God and His abilities are a deception?
Also, why assume people who choose evil believe in the Bible or eternal damnation at all?
Like, you’re trying to make some logical argument here but every statement you made has obvious flaws.
Eve ill... These people are sick.
It's easier to sin, instead of Loving GOD with all your heart and soul, and loving your neighbor as yourself! Sinners sin!
I find it easy to love God. I am aware of all He has done for us, especially through His only begotten Son.
It's just a matter of changing habit patterns while studying to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needed not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.
Learning to walk, which involves a lot of falling down and forgiveness. God is the only one with the capacity of patience that allows us to simy do our best, fail and be forgiven as we get up to do our best again.
Best to be Son conscious than sin consious
Agree 100%!
Really? Having sex with a woman is a lot easier than with a guy (I'm a guy). How is gay sex easy?
I assume you're talking about anal sex. There's more anal sex happening in heterosexual relationships than happens in homosexual relationships, if this is what you're talking about. If you pick a random straight and a random gay man, it's more likely the straight person has engaged in anal sex (giving or receiving) than the gay man, believe it or not. There are many ways to get pleasure outside of penetrative sex, and that's very true for heterosexual couples as well. Gay sex is easy for people who are gay because they're attracted to the other person, just like sex with a woman is generally easy for a straight man because he's attracted to her. If you have two people who are hot for each other, they will find ways to get physical pleasure from each other, be it kissing, touching, oral sex, and many other types of intimate behavior, etc. Not everyone is always about penetrative sex, including with heterosexual couples.
Because people love their sin, and they don’t want to give it up. Even at their own peril!
Fear is what was unhatched when the fruit of knowledge was eaten. Pride and fear underlies pretty much the act of sin.
Pride was Satan's sin. Disobeying God was man's sin. Eve was deceived, Adam knew not to disobey but did anyway.
Satan believes he is God.
God predestined who will be "Called", saved from the eternal lake of fire, although we all have sinned some He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified."
Many, most will disobey the word as they were destined to do.
1 Peter 2:7-8: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,’ and ‘A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.’ They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.”
Romans 9:11: Jacob and Esau “were not yet born and had done nothing good or bad — in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works, but because of him who calls — she was told” — this is before they were born or had done anything good or evil — “‘the older will serve the younger.’ As it is written, ‘Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.’” That is a quote from Malachi 1:2–3, which ought to be read in context where the text makes clear that God is sovereignly before they were born choosing Jacob over Esau, but showing that Esau’s wickedness was real and blameworthy and he was responsible for it.
Romans 9:22: “What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory.”
They don't believe "they lose". They think Satan is the real God, I gather. He makes promises about eternity to his followers that he can't keep.
There is no such thing....ou are believing fairy stories,designs to frighten .....don't trust guys in frocks!
The fool sayeths in his heart there is no such thing.
