As some of you have noticed, I've not been around as much lately.
Last weekend I found a new dating website.
In very short order I found myself surrounded by eligible bachelorettes, each one wanting to spend -hours- conversing with me.
Imagine, ol' Orion, a 'babe-magnet". (o.O)
Now, due to the nature of the site and the conversations, I -know- this blessing doesn't come from on high.
If it did, God is -way- cooler than any christian believes possible (O.O)
No, the carnality of the situation would suggest these blessings come from the nether regions of God's domain.
So how do I thank God for creating Satan who has so amply blessed me this past week such that the ladies would not let me tear myself away long enough to post my usual quota of questions?
(O.o)

The Goddess may indeed be cooler than any Christian will admit--and I've gotten nekkid many times to celebrate Her blessings. *wink*
Personally I'd rather thank the Horned God than Satan--He is, after all, responsible for the fertility of animals, and what are humans but another breed of animal?
Glad to see you're doing so well.

Keep in mind that Satan has to ask God before he can do anything.
Satan doesn't bless. He curses! God is the one who blessed you. Remember that. Do not praise Satan!

A veritable bevy of vile temptresses!!!
Just give a quick look up to the sky, then bow your head, and say, Thank you, God, you da man!!!
(And they probably all saw you running up that hill in the kilt without your tightie whities . . . I have been telling you about this ALL WEEK . . . you just have not been here to read about it.)
Have a care, friend -- what lies beyond the physical is always so much more important. Find someone to serve you in both venues. Enjoy!

God did no longer create evil. devil replaced into as quickly as a suitable angel in heaven. making use of his unfastened will he bacame devil, which ability adversary while he tried to be like God and needed the worship which belongs in basic terms to God. After Armegeddon he won't be allowed to misinform any extra for 1000 years. on the tip of the thousand years he would be permit unfastened for a rapid time and then God will harm him perpetually.

to LiveForJesus: Im not so sure God is controlling Satan in how he tempts people. For instance Satan was among the Sons of God and he purposefuly though he could get Job to fail and petitioned God. However he was a separate entity. Not the arm of God. There does seem to be some kind of law and honor code in heaven and I suspect Satan has not been cast from heaven yet but will be in the future. Not sure exactly. Also consider this verse.
Mar 3:22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
Mar 3:23 And he called them [unto him], and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
Mar 3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
Mar 3:25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Mar 3:26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
Mar 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Can God realy have a contradictory character. I thought the Bible said he was non changing in character. However it seems that by some agreement in law Satan is allowed to petition temptation against men.
Now to "Gavin n" who posted about sacrifices and blood. Some might say he changed in the New and Old testament but I doubt it. I had a vision once in Korea when I was talking to God and saw 2 rings merge together. There was a celebration and it was a wedding. I asked God what it meant. I got that the 2 rings were the Law and Grace through Jesus. The Law condemned us and convicted us of our sins. The sacrifices were just representations of the coming Jesus and were never good enough for God. After Jesus came that was the end of the sacrifices as shortly after he went to the father the temple was destroyed. So the Grace of God was needed to make the Law complete. So the Old testament was married to the New and a New covenant was made as propecied in the Old testament.
Jer 31:30But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Jer 31:31¶Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Edit:
Also in that part in the bible where Satan acknoledges Job has a shield of protection from God over him. I believe Satan can violate us if we do things long enough or with out repenting that Give Satan a right to by-pass that shield of protection from God. In that case all he has to do is claim he has a right to because of their actions and if they do not cover them selves in the blood of Jesus it may continue.
I have a friend next door and I was telling him I didn't drink but that I thought it was ok to drink but not in excess. As Jesus turned water to wine but never espoused drunkness or debauchery. I wondered why I mentioned it but then later he was hanging out with a bunch of his friends and they were plastered. He jumped in a shopping cart and the whole thing topled over and he shattered his front teeth. I felt sorry for him but remembered that warning and thought about it and that maybe it was a warning in hopes that he wouldn't have had that lapse of judgement and hurt him self. The drunkness clouded his temples judegment so that he was vulnerable and a thought came at him that caused much harm.

Satan does not give blessings. He gives empty promises. He gives us what we think we want/need in the here and now but really is destructive to us in the end. Satan is the Prince of Deception and is not stupid. he knows how to lure good people towards him. You should pray to God and ask his help. Thank God for what you do have and ask him for the strength to fight what will only hurt you in the end.

“Now, due to the nature of the site and the conversations, I -know- this blessing doesn't come from on high.”
What kind of website are you on? If it’s an adult dating site (for sex), then generally speaking that’s not of God, so I wouldn’t call that a blessing if I were you.
