Who Is Ruling The Earth Satan Or God Or Man

[locusts]

IS Satan a ruler of this system or this world - because it is in such a mess and he is using man to destroy himself -- because of HIS selfish desires.
The say Bible at John .14.30 it's giving me the information .???

[Theland]

Corbyloon, no parts of the bible were added by men.
It is divinely inspired.
What is added to the gospel to produce a new theology, varies from religion to religion.
Compare the bible to the religious dogmas that are predominant.

//Corbyloon, no parts of the bible were added by men//
John 7:53 - 8:11.
The story of the woman taken in adultery was added much later. NO earlier (and presumably more accurate) transcripts of Johns Gospel contain this story.

Same with Marks Gospel chapter 16 (9 - 20)

There are many more...

[Theland]

Nailit, you can't see the wood for the trees.

[nailit]

So you keep telling me Theland.
Carry on preaching your fables, I sit back and laugh.
I once believed it too.

[Theland]

Nailit, I am not preaching, simply responding to your posts.
Should I stop and ignore you?

[nailit]

Nah, carry on Theland. You remind me of myself 30+ years ago to be fair.
You remind me of how I used to ignore 'hard' questions as well.
But then I decided to follow my doubts and questions to there logical conclusions, believing that the Bible had the answers anyway.
I realised that I was living my life the wrong way round.
We have questions that cant be answered...but that was better than having answers that cant be questioned.

If the Gospels were written from divine inspiration, why is it said that John's Gospel differs so much from the other three?

[nailit]

^^ I'll wait for the usual response of believers reporting different things at different times etc.
Its always the same copy n paste..
If only people would research the history and evolution of the Gospels!!! (Of which there are many accounts...all contradictory...) some made it into the canon, most didnt.
There are MANY accounts of the Gospels.

//you can't see the wood for the trees//
I wonder which one of us cant see the wood for the trees Theland??
You are not a well man, and yet your Bible tells us (James 5:14-15) that if you are sick that having the hands of fellow believers placed upon your head and prayed for that you would be well again.

Have you any fellow believers that can testify to this?

[nailit]

Medical treatment or laying on of hands + prayer.
Which would you place your faith in?

[Theland]

More trees Nailit.
Why on earth do you post?
You don't believe, fair enough.
How many ways are there for you to say the same thing over and over, '' you don't believe.''
What are you hoping to achieve?

[nailit]

Oh dear Theland!
Sad case!
Epistle of St James or medics?
Make ur mind up.

[nailit]

Which one you going for???

[Mamyalynne]

Bacteria and viruses are doing a decent job of getting the upper hand.

[Theland]

There you've done it again!
Transform your posts into a cross examination.
Again, what are you trying to achieve?

[THECORBYLOON]

What is your response to my question, THELAND?

[nailit]

//What is your response to my question, THELAND?20:3//
Give him time, he still googling it...

[Theland]

Nailit and Corby - why the aggressive tone?
No not googling.
Back to my questions.
Why do you want to know?
Are you seriously seeking God, or just playing the usual game of attacking the bible for entertainment?
The latter I think.
Yes Nailit, it seems Corby is too lazy to do his own research.

Okay the world isn't perfect by a long shot but compared to a nuclear holocaust or loss of all water sources for instance I'd say it's pretty cushty. If this the worst Satan has got the he's just a big ole puppy dog.

I believe God is ruling the world BUT ... is allowing Satan to influence us and cause havoc. It’s all part of Gods big plan ... I know my reply may invoke some sarky comments but it is what I believe and it gives me comfort
