Re: The Bible
Here's a verse I read today:
The word is very near to you, even in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. Deut 30:14
There is no discussion point in this post. I just liked the verse...

Re: Nigel Tomes - LSM's Unorthodox Satanology
I referred to W.B Yeates poem Leda and the Swan bc from your comment it was unclear did the women seduce the angels or did the angels initiate the pairings.
It matters, due to the implications of...

Re: Nigel Tomes - LSM's Unorthodox Satanology
Notice that the third fall depended on the second, just as the second fall depended upon the first. The daughters of (fallen) men were attractive to the angels, and lured them just as satan used the...

Re: Nigel Tomes - LSM's Unorthodox Satanology
Satan doesn't live in our flesh.
I agree with that statement.
New question: is Satan a fallen angel?

Or is Satan a...

Re: Nigel Tomes - LSM's Unorthodox Satanology
I'm not terribly interested in how WL was wrong or how Christians believe wrong things. I'm wrong all the time, ask my teenage children.
What I am looking for is what do I believe. Starting with WL...

Re: Nigel Tomes - LSM's Unorthodox Satanology

Re: My Local Church Experience - And My Testimony
Believers take issue with being told they are blind and not part of Christ's church, this shouldn't seem exceptional to anyone.
You are making the Lc the exception, although it fits a fairly basic...
