1. everywhere I go, I see Christianity always being related to a caucasian. Why would you, as an Asian believe in a white man's religion?

This a stupid question. Why are there also Caucasians in Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and other religions?

Why would you, a human being, be restrained from being a race, than doing what you want? Are you a race? Or a human being?

QUOTE(edge85 @ Dec 25 2012, 07:22 PM)
2. why did God create so many races? causing so much chaos around the world.
*
Another stupid question. This is like asking, "Why are there so many problems in the world? Why can't life and the world exists without any problems? WHy cannot be a PERFECT world?

And without problems, there will be joy of overcoming those problems, and there will be no joy of victory.

QUOTE(edge85 @ Dec 25 2012, 07:22 PM)
3. did the bible ever mentioned about the various human races? american natives, australian aborogines, the polynesian people in the pacifica? and i highly doubt it made any references to the american, russian, and south east asian continent.
*
Does this question even matter at all? Do you really think the religion is meant only for a specific race? Has the Bible written that it is only for the Jews?

Stand your Ground Part 2 (Spiritual Warfare) - part 1 on pg 21
Before I continue to share on the last 3 armour pieces, I want to bring to your attention on the word stand.
If you go through Ephesians 6, the word stand is repeated 4 times. No small details is insignificant in the Bible.
If it's repeated, then The Holy Spirit is trying to tell us something.

Why is the word "stand" important? In a showdown between wars or battle, the last man standing is the victor.

But is this the right approach for us to spiritual warfare?

In Colossians 2:15, The Bible states that Jesus has disarmed the Devil. He has been defeated literally from having any power of the curse of sin.
The Devil has been disarmed and defeated at the cross.

So if you're Fighting in spiritual warfare, you're fighting from victory NOT for victory. Do you understand? It is based on the foundation of Colossians 2:15.

If you are trying to fight FOR victory, before you even start, the devil has defeated you. You will not get the answer to your prayer. ALWAYS fight from victory because Jesus has defeated the devil and his Sacrifice on the cross is a finished job. Not a half way complete job and you have to continue the work for Him to victory. Do you understand this?

That is why the word of God is so clear when it says stand 4 times, it's pointing to a stand from victory. When you pray or issues command in spiritual warfare, pray from the point that the devil IS ALREADY defeated. That is Faith.

The fourth piece is the Shield of Faith. What is this shield? There are many aspects in this teaching and I want to bring a few to your attention. If you see, Ephesians 6:16, it says there it can extinguished all the flaming arrows. What is the opposite of fire? Water. What symbolises water in the Bible? The Holy Spirit. Speaking in Tongues and praying in the spirit, symbolises the stream of living water (John 7:38). Praying in the spirit and speaking in tongues acts as your shield of Faith. This streams of living water can extinguish the flaming arrows of the enemy. What are the flaming arrows of the devil, Ephesian 6 is talking about? They are lies and deception of the enemy. What is one of the role of the Holy Spirit? He is the counsellor who will guide you into all Truth. See the relation?
 
And then there is Faith. The Bible is clear that without Faith, it is impossible to please God. I believe, it can also mean this. Without Faith, it's impossible to move God. But where does your Faith hangs on? Is it Faith in your Faith or Faith in Jesus's Faith? Ha this is a divine revelation. 
if you put Faith in your Faith, it will be volatile and subject to variation. You will always feel you need to produce enough Faith. Jesus's Faith is always consistent. If you put Faith in Jesus's Faith, rest assured, the  believing one (Jesus) will make all things possible. Amen.

The fifth piece is the Helmet of Salvation. What does the Helmet protect? Your Head which also symbolises, your mind. Why Salvation? Because your foundation of Salvation must be very well established. If you believe in an errornous doctrine that preaches shaky Salvation, that you are righteous only until your next sin, you will be an easy target for the devil. Why? Before you even enter into spiritual warfare, the devil may come to you and say you're a hypocrite. You have done this wrong or done that wrong or you have not done enough. And tell you even if you confessed your sins, you will only repeat it again in the near future. If you believe that lie, you are definitely defeated through condemnation and guilt The Bible is very clear that it is not your obedience that makes you righteous. It is your Faith and it is by grace, you have been made righteous. Romans 5:19 says very clearly, IT IS Jesus's obedience that makes you righteous. When you pull the focus away from your own obedience and trust ONLY Jesus's finished work (Jesus obedience and sacrifice) that makes you righteous, that devil has no hold over you. Do you know why? The devil cannot find Fault against Jesus. The Bible says our life is now Hidden in Christ Jesus. When your mind is well established that you are eternally saved, based not on your works or effort, the devil cannot get you. Then, you can pray boldly in Jesus name with the Helmet of Jesus's Salvation protecting your head.

The final six piece is the Sword of the Spirit which the Bible says very clearly is the word of the living God, sharper than any double edged sword. It is an offensive weapon. I've shared before in one of my devotion, Jesus only quoted the scripture to defeat the devil. He didn't summon a level 99+ Fire Ball to squash the devil. Why the word of God? Because after the cross, The Devil has been removed of principality and authoritive powers. He is left with the ability to only use lies or deception as a form of weapon. So why the word of God again? Because the word of God is the divine Truth. You counter lies with Truth. But there is one difference. There is divine power in the word of God. Real dunamis power because the spiritual realm moves according to the word of God. Angels harken to the word of God spoken in Faith. And Jesus has given us that authority (Luke 10:19). And God himself ordained his word with such power (Isaiah 55:11, Matthew 24:35 , Numbers 23:19).
So put on the Armour of God by practising it's principal.

I pray that these devotion will help you greatly in your Life.

God Bless.

It is.

It is a indeed even a metaphorical battlefield, except that it is very real, and the word metaphor may as well will lose its meaning.

He's from Glad's Tiding, PJ, Olgac4 fellow members.

He just experienced not too long ago, supernatural deliverance from bondages to the things of this world.

Now he has a burden to share this testimony.

Hmm. Okay.

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Dec 30 2012, 08:30 PM)
For the world it will be a metaphor. Because they understand not.
For Believers of Christ, it is very real.

Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Sigh. The most powerful weapon from the Devil is indeed deception, because we would have fought back the best we can if we are able to see evil in its tangible nature.

But spiritual battles? For a human, and in gaming, it will be considered as an unfair battle. Still, it is not a battle that you can run away with, for the evil forces we speak of...appears to have no need for rest.

First, as mentioned before, we dont go to church to 'suit our senses and needs'.

Oh i find this church very edifying, oh this church speaks in tongues yay i can speak in tongue there,

oh this church got leng lui

oh this pastor entau oi, also know how to preach

oh this church can get free food every service

Second, if his or her family are jerks,

then it is his duty to live the gospel, so that the family ask about Christ. It is our duty to help him to pray, and to encourage him.

Third, we come to church to worship God, to draw graces from the treasures of the Church!
Where is the sense of unity if we keep going here and there?

Where is our GENUINE FAITH?

This my dear bros n sis, we have to reflect upon ourselves.

Then try being in a church without going into one. Or else, you are merely going to a church.

666 (and sometimes 616) is the notorious Number of the Beast... what's all that about? And what has roulette got to do with it!?

Hmm, Unknown Warrior?

I'm going to pretend I'm the devil, and you're going to use your extensive knowledge of the Lord to counter me. It will be just a series of dialogues, between you, a Christian, and me, pretending as the Devil, and I want to see how things turn out.

I may have an idea what the devil has to say, but I wish to see how you defend yourselves against him. And no worries, he will not debate like an atheist.

What do you say? If you're on, I'll start with my line right away, playing as the devil.

To all readers:

Please note that this is merely a dramatic role-play of a dialogue between Unknown warrior and the devil.


Okay here goes:

The devil:

*chuckles* Unknown Warrior? Foolish mortal. Mortals, mortals. Don't you sinful mortals know that it is I who was the one who worshipped God, and how He much He has favoured me for it?

I was raised to glory, and I was happy to serve Him, until one day...I swear, I have no f*cking idea why, He has decided to make new creations...out of clay. You know, like you mortal, FLAWED bast*rds.

I was RIGHT to rebel against God! For why wouldn't He understand that I, Lucifer, WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO A HUMAN? We ANGELS are CREATED SUPERIOR than you those who are made of clay!

What the hell is so special about those who are made of clay? You guys are powerless, weak, flawed, and prone to sin ANYTIME!

You are flawed, and are quick to sin. I know the instance Adam and Eve was there in the garden, I have to prove Him wrong. I have to prove that HUMANS are worthless, and SINFUL beings.

True enough, Adam and Eve sin, and it was freaking easy to tempt you mortals.

And from there on onwards, I know. I have a resolution. No matter how much I am being seen as the rebel against God, I will continuously prove to Him, that you mortals are nothing, and worthless.

Unfortunately, I have no power to force you to sinned. Thankfully, you mortals...LOL, are really easy to be deceived.

So know your place, mortal, and admit your worthlessness.

God was WRONG to even try to LOVE you guys who constantly betray Him, from the very beginning.

laugh.gif Wish I could role play as good as you. Don't really know why the fascination with Satan. He's nothing to shout about really if you look from the overall context of the Bible, there are far better things that God wants us to know.

But anyway, Hope you don't mind I post my normal way.
True enough, Pride and Arrogance, was the downfall of Lucifer.

And Jesus did revealed his flaws by saying, "You see not the things of God, you are only concern of the things of Man", just before Judas betrayed Him.

This actually hinted that Satan's view was what you could say as "being small hearted", having such a small view of things when He was already
made glorious.

Having said that, He did not understand that God is not impressed with who is the best, the strongest, the most powerful.

God revealed in the book of Isaiah, what traits, He esteems the most in Chapter 66.

"For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being," declares the LORD. "But to this one I will look or esteem, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.
Because arrogance and pride causes conflict, whereas humility, broken spirit and obedience seeks the good of others.

And before anyone misunderstood, it doesn't mean that God wants that person to always be like a broken twig, weak and all that.

No. Humility and being contrite in spirit means that the person has the revelation of God, that He/She knows that God is on his side and will protect and provide all his needs. He doesn't need to resort to aggression in the state of pride to fend for himself.

Thank you for your reply by the way.

Lol, it's not really a fascination, but how I somehow managed to understand the enemy as it is. There are many writings about the devil, and they all appear to show the reason behind the devil's acts upon us, and that is, to convince God that we not worth saving (although Jesus has already did it), and that we do not deserve God's love, for we are so easy and prone to sin.

I can even roleplay as the counter, that is, the response being a faithful Christian, but I rather leave that to you guys to decide how it is.

To all readers:

Please note that this is merely a dramatic role-play of a dialogue between Unknown warrior and the devil.


Anyways, here's what the devil would have replied to your post:

the devil:

Hahahahaha! Sigh, tsk tsk tsk. Unknown Warrior. Do you really think you have the right to talk like that? Don't you know I am the one who tempted you to sin everytime, and oh, I KNOW YOUR SINS ALRIGHT. I know. I have doing this for CENTURIES!

Want me to reveal them here? Let's see how about when <insert one of your recent moments when you think you have sinned>, and <insert one of your oldest sins which you have wished you have never done in the first place>

Remember them now? You pathetic mortal. Calling me proud? Please. Don't put me with the likes of you, mortal. And don't give me that humility crap. I WILL send my agents to tempt you to commit one of the 7 sins. Yeap, you guessed it. PRIDE. I am going to make you swell so much in pride, and to make you able to sin some more, without you even knowing about it.

And when you SINNED again, I would have WON AGAIN. And I will keep doing it until all your knowledge about God will be useless and hypocritical.
