Rizen i truly believe that is why God saw that in the time we are living now we are going to be so busy,busy,busy like you said and have no time for Him and our family. But i also believe yhat is why in the middle of Gods moral Ten Commandments there sits the answer. "REMEMBER the SABBATH day to KEEP IT HOLY, six days you shall labor and do all your work,but the SEVENTH day is the SABBATHof the LORD your GOD. In it YOU shall do no work, nor yourSON,nor your DAUGHTER, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and RESTED the SEVENTH day. Therefore the LORD BLESSED the SABBATH day and HALLOWED it.

On the SABBATH you can cease your regular activities like work and shopping and spend time with the CREATOR of the Universe. Worshiping God with other believers, visiting the sick, spending time with the family, walking in nature, or reading spiritually uplifting materials are all good ways to keep the Sabbath day holy. After the stress of six days of work, God has given us the gift of the Sabbath to feed our soul. We need to trust that He knows whats best. GOD BLESS

I agree with you, I know some would say that's old testament, I say it make sense. Rest is so important,a day to block out the duties of the world and say Lord here am I use me.

So anyone that disagrees with your views is under Satan’s’yoke are they. Well let’s test this theory shall we? There are 15000 Christiandenominations here in the U.S. All 15000 disagree with your assessment and viewsof the bible….now, how did you gain victory over Satan using strictly your viewswhile dismissing the greater remainder of Christianity and its doctrine.
Here is an example: Insects have four legs, the earth is flatand fixed, sell your children as sex-slaves how did you overcome these simplebasic biblical facts using the bible and understanding it correctly?

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church." "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their savior." "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."


"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, but steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ." "This is what I want you to do", said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."


"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children." "As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"


"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice." "Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." "To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical
music constantly." "This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."


"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers." "Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day." "Invade their driving moments with billboards." "Flood their mail boxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs,
sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products , services and false hopes."


"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives." "Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night." "Give them headaches too!" "If they don't give their
husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere." "That will
fragment their families quickly!"


"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas." "Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."



"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive." "Have them return from their recreation exhausted." "Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation." "Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead." "Keep them busy, busy, busy!"



"And when they meet for spi ritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences."



"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus." "Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause." "It will work!"
"It will work!"


It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get more busy and more rushed, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.


I guess the question is, has the devil been successful at his scheme?

You be the judge! Does "busy" mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?

Which devil.....

So if one rejects anything the bible says and that’s okay,than anything one chooses to believe is therefore corrcet and POUS…right. Sohow would this differrom the choices Adolf Hitler made when he chose to believeonly what he wanted…..would he not be as correct as you are in your beliefs?Why or why not?

"'You will not surely die,' the serpent said to the woman. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
(Gen 3:4-5)

Since Adam and Eve had free will, Satan used their pride against them. They liked the idea of being like God, but they ignored the part about knowing (experiencing) good and evil.

Sorry, Chase200mph I don't seem to be able to follow your logical thought in your post, maybe you could clarify.

But I do have a question. Do you believe in the Devil and that Satan has power (even though limited) ?
