Can the devil come to me disguised as an angel?

Question

I met this young man in the lobby of our motel. He is visiting his mom and I am living here til I find a house with my child. I have been struggling with leaving my husband....but I know it is not biblical to leave unless he wants a divorce . This young man talks to me and sometimes my daughter every night . He is very strong in the bible and likes to preach/teach to me. I don't believe he is telling me anything unbiblical. Did God send him to me?
Coincidence? Or is it the devil in disguise? Do I need to keep my guard up? Or am I just not trusting of anyone? He is very friendly, well behaved and concerned about my salvation and my walk with God. What do you think ?

Answer 1

First of all, let's clarify what the Bible says about divorce: Marital unfaithfulness is the only explicitly permissible condition for divorce. I believe there are Old Testament passages as well about allowing divorce if the husband is abusing the wife, but from what you've posted so far I'm guessing that's not your situation. This is your first consideration with regard to leaving your husband, and keeping your guard up with this man.

Second, since you know that leaving your husband except because of unfaithfulness is unbiblical, you don't want to be the one to give your husband grounds for divorce by being unfaithful yourself--as I sense that you're experiencing temptation when you talk to this man. Why are you wanting to leave your husband in the first place? If at all possible, you should be striving for reconciliation, not trying to find a biblical loophole that will allow you to leave.

Third, you're very vulnerable right now. Your affection for your husband is apparently diminishing, and now this other man is showing you attention. You absolutely should not be talking to this man alone. I strongly suggest having another adult female in the lobby with you if and when you talk to this guy from now on. You need someone to keep you accountable and to pull you back from the brink of danger if necessary. If this man is just wanting to talk about the Bible, then he should readily welcome having more people around to talk to. And I think it would be very advisable to find a woman who is well-versed in the Bible and prayed up and can discern whether this guy is the real thing or if he's just a smooth talker who knows enough of the Bible to twist it and reel in vulnerable people who don't have a solid emotional or spiritual foundation.

Bottom line: Watch your step. And call for backups. You need people watching out for you. Don't put yourself in a situation where things will go from bad to worse because of your emotional vulnerability. I know it's not the answer you want to hear, but the best-case scenario would be to avoid this guy altogether just so you don't get deeper into a situation that you're not sure about in the first place. Feel free to e-mail me at [e-mail] if I can help in any other way. I'll be praying for you and your daughter.

Answer 2

Okay, so you will know where I am coming from I an not a Christian anymore, but I answer questions because I spent 30 years studying the bible and was a lay minister so the bible knowledge has not left me. I am pagan now, Wiccan to be exact.

Well, if you are still reading this I will now answer the question. Yes If the bible is true, then Satan can appear as an angel of light. So what that means is he can also appear as a gospel preacher or can even fool whole churches or domination's to think the bible says something it does not.

I cannot judge whether or not the young man you are talking to is deceiving you because you did not say what he is telling you. Some church doctrine teaches that divorce is a sin unless It is for adultery. Jesus even said as much. That is something you will have to work out between you and your belief system.

If you want to know if this guy is deceiving you then study the bible and see if it says what he says it says, get a good concordance and study the subjects he studies with you yourself. Also ask your preacher at church to study these things with you.

Always keep your gaurd up. Guys use religion sometimes to take advantage of women sucvh as yourself, not always, he may be sincere but as the old saying goes the road to hell is paved with sincerity and good intentions.

Answer 3

Satan knows the Bible inside and out and he twists the truth. He deceived Eve in the garden. He totally disguises himself as a "good angel". He is a fallen angel. I would stay away from this man. Guard your heart, it's the wellspring of life.
Find a strong Christian woman that can counsel and mentor you. Never spend time alone with a man who isn't your husband. Even if you are with a pastor, have a woman present.

Answer 4

The devil can come disguised in many forms, and disguises. I would advise keeping your guard up for that and because you are also on the rebound, just getting out of your marriage, in fact, just leaving your husband not divorced. Emotionally, you are very open, so be careful.

God Bless You!!

Answer 5

I'm not sure if that young man himself is the devil disguised as an angel, but I do think you are treading into very dangerous territory. You are vulnerable, and in a shaky marriage. I also do not think God sent this man to you, for you described a prime set up for temptation. Keep yourself pure, and the rewards are wonderful, even if it is difficult right now.

Answer 6

Unless you feel a tug in your heart from God that this guy is trying to lead you farther from him, then be a little defensive.

This person your are describing doesn't seem to be one of Satan's decievers. Devievers do what appears to be the right way, but if you emagioned yourself explaining to God why you did what the deciever told you to do, how do you think God would respond?

For example, God says to only marry someone who is a christian like you. If someone non-christian went up to you and took it real slow with you, wail at the same time a friend said it was the right thing because the guy is just too irresistable, both the guy and the friend are decieving you in a way. After all, if you explained your behavior to God, how do you think he would respond?

So from the description of this person you gave me, I don't sense any trouble, do you?

Answer 7

The Bible makes it abundantly sparkling that there are spirit beings, the two solid and evil. however the Bible says that spirits of deceased human beings ultimate on earth to “hang-out” the living isn't obtainable. Hebrews 9:27 publicizes, “guy is destined to die as quickly as, and after that to stand judgment.” that's what happens to a individual’s soul-spirit after loss of life—judgment. the end results of this judgment is heaven for the believer (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians a million:23) and hell for the unbeliever (Matthew 25:forty six; Luke sixteen:22-24). there isn't any in-between. there isn't any danger of ultimate on earth in spirit form as a “ghost.” If there are such issues as ghosts, in accordance to the Bible, they truthfully won't be in a position to be the disembodied spirits of deceased human beings nor can reincarnation ensue. Demons are fallen angels, angels who rebelled against God. Demons are evil, misleading, and detrimental. in accordance to 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, demons masquerade as “angels of sunshine” and as “servants of righteousness.” appearing as a “ghost” and impersonating a deceased individual easily is a conceal that demons use each and every time. devil is the daddy of all lies. He provides fake suggestions on many things even a thank you to banish. have confidence no longer something yet Christ God facilitates every person whether they dont comprehend him. a million. Play Christian song. 2. Say get out in Jesus call in each and each room. 3. Throw away Ouija boards. 4. Dont seek for advice from mediums or confer with spirits it will make it worse. 5.. they're vulnerable and God facilitates ne one that asks no count who you're. in case you have tried witchcraft/ghost verbal substitute you could reject it in Jesus call and ask forgiveness easily

Answer 8

Yes, the devil CAN disguise himself that way, but this is likely not that. Temptation comes from the world, the flesh, and the devil. In your case, it is your own flesh that is tempting you. Don't blame him unless he crosses the 'line'. Just be careful.

Answer 9

The devil can disguise himself as an angel, but I really don't think that man is Satan. If you are unsure, then test him by using the bible.
