    Forgiving demons?

    The wicked can make the same claim. They will always know for sure they are saved. Whereas, when Christ returns, He made it clear that He only recognizes people according to their good deeds.

    Forgiving demons?

    Well, destroying something is evil. Destroying evil is impossible because it is evil. God cannot be evil/destructive. Demons might consider they have dominion over all that is evil and inevitably will tempt the one who is judgmental and condemning (negative traits). God may allow this until one...

    Forgiving demons?

    They are sinners by choice, not by nature. Only God can be something by nature. True, it seems that demons lost all opportunities to repent. But, it's not over until it's over. I believe there is a moral obligation to do all good that is possible unless it becomes impossible to do so or not...

    The Myth of Scriptural Literalism

    An interpretation of The Bible is possible only through The Holy Spirit. Literalism comes from satan who is not in The Grace of The Holy Spirit and, so, he does not know God's actual thoughts about anything, including The Bible.

    Is the salvation real?

    If our heart belongs to God, that's perhaps the best work. It is the essence of The Gospel. Moving from the slavery of laws to freedom of the spirit. From mechanical behaviour to true life through love.

    Could I have met an angel in real life without knowing it?

    Angels always have a very precise mission from God. They would mention God first thing such that you know God is observing. Secondly, they would have something to do with God's Glory and our Salvation. So, random appearances which are also doubtful, would come from satan.

    Is Christianity basically fear based? I don't get it.

    Fear does not come from God, but the devil. Satan has his own version of God and Christianity. It sounds and reads like the real thing, but you realize that something is wrong when it's all negative, based on fear and anger, imposed through force and bargains. However, The Spirit of God is...

    Forgiving demons?

    God wants us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. The way we forgive others, God will forgive us. It doesn't hurt us to do these things, but it enriches us. Plus, a funny thing is that you cannot defeat a demon; and no demon has ever gone to hell.

    Necessity of evil

    Christians do not experience sadness, illness, death, the secular world,etc., because God's Grace/Energies keeps them within Himself where there is only rest, light, happiness and countless other gifts. So, God intervenes to prevent evil, but also exceeds all expectation.

    "I will not speak of Thy mysteries to Thine enemies"

    Matthew 7:6 ---- "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces." This verse seems to be similar.

    We may not know, but we have the gift of hope from God. Hope in God's Mercy and Plan to Save us is a virtue.

    The Unchangeableness of God and the Will of God

    Free-will is basically disobedience to God's Prefect and Sovereign Will. God does not tolerate disobedience in the created order. Satan got hell perhaps for this sin alone.
