What Satan CAN and CAN'T do and who he is, all based on the Bible. This is the last in our verse by verse study through 1 Peter. You can get the whole playlist of 1 Peter on my RU-vid channel.
Mike, I've been preaching for over 30 years and I have heard thousands of sermons and this teaching on Satan is the most comprehensive and Scripturally solid teaching I have ever heard. Thank you for your attention to the details of Scripture and being so thorough in your teaching. You are my favorite Bible teacher.
Dude, you are a rare breed (unfortunately), and I will be following your videos. I wish more pastors in my area, Corona, CA., used as many biblical references as you. Super encouraging. If you need a friend, let’s have coffee anytime!!
In college I had to do a presentation on any subject I selected, and I selected Creation vs Evolution. The teacher let me prepare the whole presentation (and reviewed my powerpoint slides) and when it came to presentation day she told me I was not going to present it but would receive a 90% on it. I was upset but also relieved because I knew I would get attacked for it by the other students. I should have fought harder to be allowed to present it, though.
Yes people need to realize it’s their fault for GIVING IN to the temptations presented by satan. It’s our fault for giving in so we need to repent when we mess up and learn from our mistakes and be strong against temptations by the power of the Holy Spirit because we can’t do it alone.
This is why some people shouldn’t be teachers or preachers because they take a fictional thing like Satan, which is metaphorical in the Bible and turns it into an actual being. Obviously he believes in multiple gods: devil, demons and angels. All gods. This is not what scripture really says.
The invention of a source of evil is. philosophically, a useful one. Modern atheists go for religion. In Richard Dawkins' going beyond god, we all get scientifically and therefore nice.Give me break!
Watch. I repent in Jesus Christ name Amen“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. '”
WHOA!! The same exact thing happened to me. When I was in high school the class had to write an essay on our hero. I picked Jesus and I was told I can not use Him. But I fought and fought. What sunk their ship is when I said "Jesus is in our social studies book. So even you agree He is a real person who actually existed. So I can write on the strength He is an actual person. And even if you think He's a myth then why would Gilgamesh be allowed not Jesus?" I wouldn't shut up about it so they gave up.
So not so long ago I rejected catholicism in which I was raised only to find out how much is christian world infiltrated with many false teachings and lies. I was trying to "keep an open mind" while watching people going mental over "holy spirit" and am still kinda shocked by how balantly croocked some people can be. It's abolutely crucial to self-educate ourself on these topics, it's crucial to openly discuss gospel and hold fast to our Bible and common sense! I love that you talk about Satan, he is the most repulsive being and we need to know him! I love your attitude, how you don't pretend to know everything. Much needed reasonable words, thank you, Mike, for doing this. Oh and It's funny how you mentioned Taiwan, which is where all the written above took place ha!
