According to the gospel accounts, the Holy Spirit of God descended on Jesus at his baptism. It seems reasonable that under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit he required time away from distractions for study and meditation. He was preparing to ready [...]
The Bible does not say the serpent had a sexual union with Eve. The Bible plainly teaches that the serpent lied and tricked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit. The account of Adam and Eve and the serpent in the Garden of Eden is [...]
To answer your first question: Do God, Satan and angels have souls? Yes, they have souls as do all animals (Job. 12:10). The soul being the essence of what makes you, you—your memories, thoughts—like information on a disc, but in another sense, they are [...]
God and the angels do not participate in the Day of Judgment—they are not on trial. The fallen angels (demons) are being judged and their souls (both spiritual body as well as mind as described above) will be sentenced to destruction or life at [...]
We suspect that stuttering may have been the case in Exodus 4:10-12, when Moses said unto the LORD, “O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent… I [am] slow of speech; and of a slow tongue”….And the LORD said unto him….Now therefore go, and I [...]
No, he cannot. There are no scriptures which teach Satan can read our minds. But Satan and his demons can observe us. Many times it's no small jump to recognize what a person is thinking. For instance, if a child is starring at a [...]
That sounds like a very scary nightmare. What do we do if a dream feels real? What if we are frightened that a demon might really be attacking us? A two part answer comes to mind. First, it could very well be our minds [...]
: Anxiety and depression have many causes. None of our bodies are perfectly healthy. Imbalances in our physiology can cause us to suffer emotional disturbances. Is poor emotional health due to the devil? Not necessarily. The Apostle Paul experienced anxiety and depression, "For we [...]
Even though all kinds of sinful thoughts may pass through our brains, it is our Christian duty not to entertain them because sinful thoughts soon become sinful deeds. When you recognize a sinful thought against God, you must immediately ask for His forgiveness and [...]
In ancient times people believed that evil spirits (demons) were responsible for many physical and most all mental disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, split personalities, delirium and the like. Although today we are cognizant of the many inherited or acquired mental illnesses [...]
According to the Bible, Satan, of his own volition, became the adversary of God. Originally, as God created him, he was holy, pure, grand of character and of a high order of angelic nature, a "covering cherub" (`Eze. 28:16`). He transformed himself from the [...]
The first part of the text relates to the time following the Lord's resurrection. Jesus had been put to death as a human being, a perfect man, and was raised a glorious spirit being of the highest order, of the Divine nature. In His [...]
There are three great ages or dispensations of time outlined in the Bible. The first of these is referred to as "the world that was," and the second as "the world that now is," and the last as the "world to come wherein dwelleth [...]
Not only will Satan be destroyed, but we read also that "hell," the place of supposed fire and brimstone, is to deliver up all the dead that are there and then the place itself destroyed-- (`Rev. 21:13,14`). The "lake of fire and brimstone," as [...]
The Apostle's argument is so clear and convincing in this `fifteenth chapter of First Corinthians` relative to the reign of our Lord Jesus and the object or purpose to be accomplished by that reign, that there is but one answer to the question and [...]

The `Genesis` account of the seduction of our first parents by Satan is very brief. There is just a sufficient amount of detail given to show how sin entered into the world and death by sin. The Bible is the only book in all [...]
We quote from an eminent authority an explanation as to the reason for the contention between Michael and the Devil: "The Lord Himself buried Moses, hiding the place of the sepulchre. The primary reason for this probably was to hinder the Israelites from carrying [...]
These passages are taken from Revelation, and the book of Revelation is a symbolical book; that is exactly what it purports to be. We read that Jesus sent his angel and signified or made signs of certain things, and those signs, or symbols, have [...]
