Hello tall paul.. :)\n\nWe are afraid of NOTHING, because Perfect Love from Jesus casteth out all fear.. :)\n\nCan Jesus, give you Love, Peace, Joy, Kindness and Gentleness and Forgiveness within your heart..Yes He can..and He will if you ask :)\n\nCan satan blind your eyes to the truth of God's Holy word..Yes he can..and he does.. :)\n\nCan satan give you greed, lust, hatred, anger, drugs and a lonliness within your heart, yes he can and he does..without evening asking him..gee what a nice guy he is.. :(\n\nWars are not because of religion..\n\nJames 4\n\n From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?\n \n2  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.\n \n3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.\n \n4  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.\n \n5  Do ye think that the Scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?\n \n6  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith,\n         God resisteth the proud, \nbut giveth grace unto the humble. Prov. 3.34  \n \n \n7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.\n \n8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.\n \n9  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.\n \n10  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.\n\nI am here for you.. :)\n \nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..In Christ..

I guess there is nothing wrong with it.  Just remember that all acts have consequences.  There is nothing wrong with playing in the street, as long as you realize that there is a good chance that you will get hit by a car, and you are OK with that.\nIf you believe that there is a Heaven and Hell, a God and a Satan, then you should believe in some sort of afterlife.  So where do you want to spend you eternity of afterlife.\nAs for you question about the bible..the same could be said of any teaching materials you've read or heard about Lucifer's plans and desires.  Who told you that Lucifer just wants you to create a better life for yourself?  Who told you that followers of Lucifer don't condone violence?  This is probably written somewhere...and it was probably written by a man (or woman).

Everybody who believes in God must also believe in the devil. Also, there are unfortunately a lot of people who worship satan. Guess they think burning in hell is not as bad as I think it would be. An eternity in absence of God? of good? No thanks.

no most of them are just in the business to make money. they are family men and bring up the family the way they want to. the best way they can. devil worship is a joke from back in the 60's... so your family is incorrect....

you are posing the same idea that Lucifer did to Eve. That God had some evil intent in His edict. Why or why not eat of the tree is not the issue. God could have just as well of said "Do not pee where the grass does not grow" The real issue is whether to obey God or not. The exercise of free will as according to Gods plan was initiated here so that after the full consequence of self interest is evident and the world is impacted as it has been God could then show that the exercise of the will by choosing to Love God through Christ would be possible, to the intent that the manifold wisdom of God might be known by the church to the principalities and powers in heavenly places.

I would think it's because we HAVE to believe in something, it's the way we were created, God wants us to believe in him, but Satan has power too and people find it easier, they think, not to believe in God.

Whoooaa. I thought Lucifer was satans name.  Its hardly worshipping him by calling him that.  If you are correct..ok.  But again its not worshipping him.

ita an ancient many thousands of years old jewish art, perhaps it was founded in israel? (before other people occupied the jewish nation)\nIt has nothing to do with the "devil" which is a silly christian invention

The Devil created the Alcohol so that when man drinks it then he will forget God and commit sins. You all know that when a man is drunk, he is not in control of himself but under the control of the Devil

I don't. I think the devil is a symbol for evil and bad behavior, and not a physical being.

Allah is the devil so that level of violence is acceptable

If you take the idea of good and evil totally out of the picture ...  Satan got his a$$ kicked and sent to hell ... I don't really see him being able to do alot of ya if you DID worship him.

its evil, maybe? Thats what I think.\n\nWhy else does much of the world call it the "Great Satan"?\n\nI don't quite agree with that, however, because the Devil is the Devil.

The symbol is from the Freemasons, who don't, as a whole, worship the Devil. Most of the founding fathers were Freemasons, this isn't a conspiracy though. It stands to reason that if you were starting a rebellion you would turn to fellow members of a society that values their privacy.\n\nHow it ended up on the dollar I can't exactly remember.

God is everything. The devil is not an entity as many believe it to be. The devil is the carnal mind that is excessively attracted to the external world (maya). \n\nIn other words, the devil is your lower nature that is making you think that this new BMW will make you happy, or if you could just get that job then you would be loaded with money and then....\n\nThe world is a finite place. Whatever you see, get, have, etc is finite. However, inside of you is a longing for infinite satisfaction. This longing cannot be quenched with definite stuff. After you've had that car for a while it looses its glamour and your mind starts to look for other stuff that can satisfy your need for infinite satisfaction.

This is so, because, The god of this system of things is Satan the devil(2Corinthians4:4 and he is blinding the minds of people to not believe or see the truth and follow him and his way rather than listen to the true God Jehovah this is because Satan has inspired many religions so that if he doesn't get you with one he will with another and in this way he has camouflaged the true religion that is inspired by the true God Jehovah!

The devil is trying so hard to make sure that people reject God and his ultimate story / love letter to us.  Atheism, whether folks want to admit it or not, is a religion as well.  I love your binary code there!
