Satan's greatest achievement was to deceive some people into believing that he deceived some people into believing that he doesn't exist, when in reality he really doesn't.
He's behind you!
Every work of fiction needs a hero and an anti-hero. That epic work of fiction, The Holy Bible, has both in God and Satan. Though it is often terribly to discern just who is who.
'terribly difficult to discern'
Deleted one word too many in my self editing:-(
\\ Canary, did you translate that word, fear, as, be terrified?
If so that is wrong.//
How do you know which definition the teacher chose? like so many of your theories, you assume too much.
"fear" and "terror" seem synonyms to me. In the event one was trying to use it to mean the less used/less likely meaning (as otherwise it would have been worded differently) of, to hold in reverence, then one has to ask what causes that reverence; and surely it can only be the terror of the consequences of not obeying and doing so. So back to the more normal definition of fear again.

last week I went to YouTube and listen to many comments between atheist and Christians - and the Atheist argument was there is no God-- but the big bang did exist-- how many of these professors who was talking on this subject did not come up with – a strong evidence against bible - that there was no god within this argument-- the Christian Side had add more support- -put their cased in a
way-- which supported The Bible more .
YouTube Dr Kent hovind vs atheist
Christopher Hitchens vs John Lennox | Is God Great? Debate

Dawkins on religion: Is religion good or evil? | Head to Head

in some of these debates there was no real strong evidence that there is- no -
god – there was more evidence in a supreme almighty Force
{ the God of the Bible} ???? – for the being – earth and the universe ..
And there was no real evidence that a stone becoming a molecule or DNA
for the - design in which became the human.
I am a firm Believer that there is a God of the Bible and he does exist --
and what he put in the Bible is faithful and true..
Locusts - you appear to be proferring the same argument that Theland uses - because science cannot offer an explanation for the beginning of the universe, it can only be God's creation.

I did argue this point, but it got lost in the maelstrom of nonsense that these threads often descend into - but I am happy to reiterate my view -

Because science has yet to offer a provable theory about the universe and its creation does not simply mean that there isn't one, it just means that it has yet to be found, and that may take thousands of years from now. To say that no answer leaves just God as the obvious option is simply not a viable argument.

I illustrated my point with the flight of the bumble bee.

Laws of aerodynamics were in place before advanced slow-motion photography, so when the law of aerodynamics proved that a bee should be unable to fly, given it's weight ratio to its wing area, scientists were baffled.

Here was something that was against the laws of aerodynamics, yet clearly in evidence, bees do fly, when science says they can't.

Once slow-mo photography caught up, it revealed that the assumption that bees have fixed wings like flies was actually wrong - bees rotate their wings, which is how they fly their heavier bodies with apparently too-small wings that they use.

A prime example of how science caught up to disprove a believed theory - it happens all the time, and history books are full of examples.

Look at the 747 - it's body is longer than the Wright Brothers' first flight - who would have conceived air travel, the internet, space exploration ... the list goes on and on.

Just because science does not have the answer in 2020 does not meant that the answer is not there - so it must be God.

There is an answer, and science will find it, and it will be the miracle then that explaining bee flight was to us.
Supporters of Ken Bigley thought that god would help, did not end well.

Keep on believing fairy stories if it makes you happy.

If you believe that, Locusts, why do you continually seek endorsement from other people?
Locust speaks....with Thelands words.....and references!!!!
You're right Mally. Until I reminded Theland that this thread is about Satan, Locusts hadn't mentioned creation - but now, Satan seems to have been side-lined.

***If you believe that, Locusts, why do you continually seek endorsement from other people? ***

I am not seeking endorsements from other people.-- I'm just collecting information from other people which will help me to analyse and see what people thinking {I don't know what he believes} - is thinking.-- that will help me to understand what the person is trying to say-- and to come to a better knowledge of what it means --and how they understand what the Bible-- because my way of thinking may be completely different from his way of thinking-- so therefore by my learning and understanding the information if you don't know what the information is --how can you comment on it --so it is important to know what the other person is thinking or putting down in writing''?? James 1.19 { listen}
More nonsensical obscure bible quotes.

I illustrated my point with the flight of the bumble bee.

I must have missed your comment somewhere. {sorry }-- but I'm asking are you referring to the music --of the Flight of the Bumblebee --or the actual bumblebee because the Bumblebee is a magnificent insect because this insect which has been designed to do many functions --let me ask-- the Bumblebee come before the flour or the flour come before with a bumblebee -- because it was necessary for the Bumblebee --and it's- tie in with you-- make all evolution –. to understand what is function ..- like referring to the chicken in the egg syndrome which came first because --we can't seem to come to an understanding which of these designs came first . one cannot live without the other - so they must have been in your term created ??? at the same time period so that they could both live in harmony with nature.
The Bible says the Universe is 6,000 years old.
Stephen Hawking said it is 13.8 Billion years old.

I believe Hawking.

I have absolutely no idea what your post means, with the exception of the supposed conundrum about the chicken and the egg.

Since a chicken is a bird,, and birds are known to have evolved from flying dinosaurs, which laid eggs, there is absolutely no doubt that the chicken came first.

The only part of your post that made sense is wrong.

There is a lesson there ...
You mean egg.
I do OG!

Thanks!!!

gromit//The Bible says the Universe is 6,000 years old.

I believe Hawking.

I think you need to read Genesis once again as where it gives you the an insight to to the time periods of the construction of the Earth {genesis 1 .15. } not the universe-- the universe could have been there 100 billion years before.-- we are talking about the Earth and the creation of the Earth-- and the Earth was formed –.for the first 15 vs it talks about the creation of night and day and the expansion of the Earth watery depths and there was no time period -- until he put the illuminations in place --then we had a time period of days and months and years so before that time we don't know how long a day was? ?– that Earth was being created.-
But the Bible informed us that it was good for that day-- giving us an idea dear - but as we learn later from the scriptures that a thousand years is but one day to God --so this gives us some idea how long the Earth was being created --from a human standpoint because the creator is much more superior to us and his time period is different from ours-- but he gives us an indication how long for him to create the Earth not the universe -- and of course the heavens is different from the universe as we know it ???
