@Dovegiven,
Yes, Satan has been judged, but not banished. He will eventually be cast into the lake burning with fire forever. He is alive and very active today. Satan is still a master liar presenting all manner of sin temptations to every Christian.
Joh 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the
“prince of this world be cast out.
”
What has Satan been cast out of
Predominately in your writtings, your perspective is from the mind and understanding of the “flesh.” You appear not to understand what faith is and how to think and walk by faith. When God told Adam, “in the “day” you eat of the tree, you will “surely” die. According to the way you write, you see Adam dying 930 years later. You see this in the flesh - as I see you understand everything else according to your writings. Faith is spiritually seeing Adam dying in the very day he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This is how faith sees life. You don’t see life this way by your writings.
You see your actions as sin because you see your person and position in the flesh. There is not sin in Christ, so this tells me you don't see yourself in Christ (1Joh. 3:5). You see your righteousness and unrighteousness according to the law. If you do well you are righteous. If you do wrong you sin; and all unrighteousness is sin in the flesh according to the law. Faith is not of the law - sin is of the law (Gal. 3:12). A believer is Righteous not because of what they do or don’t do in the flesh, they are Righteous because Jesus made them Righteous by faith. Not according to their works. Because you see yourself in the flesh, you don’t identify with these verses. "WHEN YOU WERE"
Rom 7:5 For when we
“WERE IN THE FLESH,
” the motions of
“SINS,
” which were
“BY THE LAW,
” did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Rom 7:6 But now we are
“DELIVERED FROM THE LAW,” that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not
in the oldness of the letter.
You see yourself as still in the flesh. Sin is the transgression of the law, which can only be committed when a person is “IN” the flesh and “under” the law. You don’t realize you have been delivered from the law. WHAT LAW? Whatever law that caused you to sin as you are in the flesh.
If you understood faith, you would not say you sin. If you understood faith, you would know that God sees Satan as judged and condemned. Is God using Satan for the purpose of testing His saints? Yes… Only God can allow Satan to tempt a believer. God allows temptation because it produces perfection (Jam. 1:7; Rom. 5:3).
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but
“God is faithful,
” who
“will not” “allow” you to be tempted above
“what you are able;
” but will with the temptation also
“make a way to escape,
” that
“you may be able to bear it.
”
In your writings, it seems you think "God is lying" because many Christians “kill” themselves. It seems to you, according to your writtings, this cannot be true. Those that committed suicide didn’t escape; they couldn’t bear it.
Your conversation weakens believers not strengthen their faith. Your writtings cause believers to see Law instead of Grace. Grace says, I've delievered you from sin because you could not deliver yourself. Faith is the substance of things “HOPE” for evidence of things not seen. Faith calls those things which are not as though they were. You say believers sin. That's how Israel saw themselves. Israel saw themselves according to the law this is how you see yourself.
YOU DON'T SPEAK ACORDING TO FAITH
