What's new

I was thinking about it the other day...

I would consider Satan to be beyond help. If we pray for him, or let our sympathies go out for him, he only uses that good faith against us.

It's like seeing corporate America as somehow in a predicament under the spell of a greedy demon, and sending cash to their team of lawyers to help them.
 
I do pray for my hapless guardian angels who are unmercifully assigned to follow me around and keep track of everything I say.

But satan often comes as an angel in white. Maybe you've been praying for satan without even knowing it.:eek:

Haven't you heard of the anti-pope? Saw em live in Madrid:

Here's a personal favorite, the riff is pretty sick:

What if Satan only exists in our hearts and minds?

Considering the stuff that Craig has brought up, your idea has just as good of a possibility as any other. It doesn't explain the movies Poltergeist and The Ammityville Horror, not to mention The Exorcist, but it's an interesting thing to think about.
 
So that's it, then?

Is there anyone here who feels bad for Lucifer, or may actually think about him in their future prayers? If so, why? If not, why not?

Again, this is a serious question that I've spent some time thinking about and would like to know your thoughts. Thanks to those who have already answered. I'd like to read NAOS, Siro, HottyKKK, and others if they'd grace us with their thoughts.

My understanding, from what I was taught as a youth, is that Satan had the same choice you and I did before we came to be on earth. That choice bore consequences. Consequences that were fully disclosed. By making the choice he made, he knew he'd be cast out, never to return to God's presence.
 
The weird thing is, Satan is just as important to God's plan as anyone else. In fact, without him, it would not work. There must be an opposition in all things.

Trout, it doesn't explain the movies?

I'll help you out. Movies have scripts. The actors read the scripts. That explains the movies.

Not sure if you posted twice on purpose, or wanted further explanation. . . . .lol. . . . I always assume the latter. Looking at your avatar, perhaps you are one of those angels either with a confused loyalty or a misrepresented allegiance, who knows. . . .

Since I've seen no angels, in white or any other color of garb, I'd consider this risk inconsiderable. According to scriptures, which may or may not have been written by servants of God, Satan is represented as possibly posing as an angel of light. No one has described the color of the usual vestments he wears.

I usually work through some of the various logical branches of possibilities, to some shallow depth. It occurs to me that we can pretty much pick our chosen point of view. Perhaps the Bible is one of the bigger lies Satan has invented. That might explain the whole medieval dark age and the various atrocities of supposedly "Christian" nations throughout history, and the whole utility of Church-State combinations. Under that view, perhaps the millions of crucifix ornaments worn by the deceived are indeed false crutches of hope.

However, I would rather think that "Casting out Jesus" just won't really work when invoking the name of Lucifer.

Liberal media is however attempting to cast out Christians wholesale on our national stage, with negative success, generally, though on this site it's been a while since I saw Pearl Watson in here.
