genuine questions?

Question

many christian i encounter tell me that other religion are worshipping demons.

many are fast to say that demon have many power and he is lying to those people so they can go hell.

now , how could i know that demon is using god name to blind everone , then appearing in 'holy' forms to trick everyone ?

considering if the bible is true , there are 1/3 of angels that are fallen and 1/3 of religions are christians...

so anyway , since some tell me demon can foretell the future and have tremendous power too , how do i know demon is not fabricating and designing the whole lie to get people thinking he is the god in the bible ?

i mean seriously... if he was created as an Angel surely he possess ability that human doesn't have.

thus it is no surprise if you tell me he can see into the future too , maybe not as far as Jesus . some human also claim to be able to foretell future .

surely he can perform 'miracles' to mislead people.

yes you said satan can confuse people .

he could have confuse people he's god too by performing miracles. he can confuse people easily given his power. at the very least his lifespan is longer than any of us add together.

it surely can give false dreams and inspiration.

maybe the demon you all spoke of knows that believe in jesus leads to hell , thats why he create all those miracles and stuff to lead you all to hell ?

if the god that all other people worship teaches them love / peace and stuff is actually a demon , i see no reason why the bible isnt affected by the demon

Answer 1

If a demon could write a book like the bible it would be more believable and it would contradict itself less.
The bible is just the drunken ramblings of insane men.

Answer 2

If you drop the vilifying game and the supreme being game for a day or so you might get a glimpse at the world outside your birth right given blinders . And if you drop drop the deity trip you will eliminate demons and all supernatural boogie men will be cleared from the screen allowing you the advantage of thinking in real terms for the very first time in your life more than likely . try it for a day or two that much certainly can't damn you forever now can it . oh well I'm trying to be contentious just sympathize with your dilemma.this is what is need to get a truly objective none bias view of the other side otherwise you are condemned to playing on a fixed field till the day you die.

Answer 3

First of all, I am a Christian and it is not my belief nor the teachings of my religion that other religions are worshiping demons. I believe that particular teaching is brought about by the fear of men -- that someone might leave one religion for another.

I believe that most, if not all religions, play a role in our journey back to heaven. I do believe that there is one religion that is complete - but, I think other people find what they are ready to receive from the Lord in the church that they choose to attend.
Just keep studying, praying and seeking understanding. If the church you attend gives you more questions than answers, you probably need to look somewhere else. As long as the church is leading you toward Christ, you are headed in the right direction.

The God of the Bible wants you to come back to Him. He will help you find what you are looking for if you are earnest in your prayers.

Answer 4

First of all, Satan can not create - he can only confuse. He is impotent that way and he feels really inadequate. Because He is. No one can make you or present to you the multitude of reasons why you should believe. You will believe or not. On your own accord. As a Christain, we have a duty to tell you about Christ. That is the blood on our hands. Once your hear and make your own choice, our hand is washed and the burden is upon you. That is your choice and so we move on. Satan is incredibly good at what he does. If I didn't love God so much, I might find Satan very attractive.

Answer 5

You have to study. You have to learn. You have to use common sense as well. The Bible is clear and concise with what one must do to be saved from a burning torment when they die. Dabbling with other religions and cults will confuse you and that is a trick the devil uses all the time. If you weigh the odds, most time the devil will slip on something. But truth is real and factual.

Answer 6

People who say that you have to believe the way they do or you rot in hell are taught fear, not faith. Do not listen to them, they're speaking from fear. Listen to your heart. Every living thing has an innate knowledge of what is good and what is evil. You will know when you are at peace. That's what they mean by 'Don't sweat the small stuff."

Answer 7

The key to your statement is: 'get people thinking he is the god in the bible'. There is only ONE God, and ONE firstborn, the rest are sons. The solution: does this 'person' point to himself or to the ONE true God, the Father?
Deu 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
Deu 13:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
Deu 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deu 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Deu 13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

Answer 8

Just a couple of centuries ago people thought that people sick with diseases were possessed by demons. There are no demons. People who say this to you are ignorant and out of touch with reality.

Answer 9

very valid question.

that's why there's history books to read, theologies to learn. faith is not just deciding to believe. one must have reasons to believe and that can only be gained through deep and meticulous study concerning that matter. being emotional about things won't get anyone anywhere. the reason why God gave people the gift of reason is for the purpose of using it.
