Heavy Christian Topics and Beliefs!

This post is a bit deep in that many people don't believe or don't want to accept the their is a Satan the Devil, in only that the Devil exist in the bible! So I will attempt to make him real to you. Well then who is Satan the Devil? No one really knows only that this creation of Gods exists! What, did God make a mistake? NO! In my post of Taking in Knowledge, Series P1 I show that Satan the Devil challanges Gods sovereignty. In SearchGodsWord.org we find that satan means adversary and devil means slander and accusing falsely.

So then why the title "Spirit of the World"?, lets go to 1 Corinthains 2:12 in SearchGodsWord.org we see "Now we have received (5627), not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know (5762) the things that are freely given (5685) to us of God." and in the NWT of the Jehovah Witness we see "Now we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been kindly given us by God." This thought "spirit of the world" has a strong meaning and one that shouldn't be dismissed so easily, because we don't want to become tainted by it! From the SearchGodsWord.org spirit shows "a spirit higher than man but lower than God, i.e. an angel".

This spirit that is being refereed to is Satan the Devil, in 1 John 5:19 tell us that the world is ling in the power of the wicked one, and Revelation 12:9 that the one called Satan and Devil (the original serpent) was cast out of the heavens and is miss leading the entire earth!

SearchGodsWord.org 1 John 5:19 "And we know (5758) that we are (5748) of God, and the whole world lieth (5736) in wickedness ."

NWT of the Jehovah Witness 1 John 5:19 "We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one."

So how do I know what to look for? God shows us what to look for and at shows us as Christian how not to act.

For my first example is doing what a person want to do!: We see this back as far as Genesis 3:1-5, and Proverbs 3:5,6.

SearchGodsWord.org Genesis 3:1-5 "1 Now the serpent was (8804) more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made (8804). And he said (8799) unto the woman, Yea, hath God said (8804), Ye shall not eat (8799) of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said (8799) unto the serpent, We may eat (8799) of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said (8804), Ye shall not eat (8799) of it, neither shall ye touch (8799) it, lest ye die (8799). 4 And the serpent said (8799) unto the woman, Ye shall not surely (8800) die (8799): 5 For God doth know (8802) that in the day ye eat (8800) thereof, then your eyes shall be opened (8738), and ye shall be as gods, knowing (8802) good and evil."

NWT of the Jehovah Witness Genesis 3:1-5 "Now the serpent proved to be the most cautious of all the wild beasts of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it began to say to the woman: “Is it really so that God said YOU must not eat from every tree of the garden?” 2 At this the woman said to the serpent: “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat. 3 But as for [eating] of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘YOU must not eat from it, no, YOU must not touch it that YOU do not die.’” 4 At this the serpent said to the woman: “YOU positively will not die. 5 For God knows that in the very day of YOUR eating from it YOUR eyes are bound to be opened and YOU are bound to be like God, KNOWING good and bad.”

SearchGodsWord.org Proverbs 3:5,6 "5 Trust (8798) in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean (8735) not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge (8798) him, and he shall direct (8762) thy paths."

NWT of the Jehovah Witness Proverbs 3:5,6 "5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. 6 In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight."

My second example is pride!: Ezekiel 28:17, Proverbs 16:5, and 1 Peter 5:5

SearchGodsWord.org Ezekiel 28:17 "Thine heart was lifted up (8804) because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted (8765) thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast (8689) thee to the ground, I will lay (8804) thee before kings, that they may behold (8800) thee."

NWT of the Jehovah Witness Ezekiel 28:17 "Your heart became haughty because of your beauty. You brought your wisdom to ruin on account of your beaming splendor. Onto the earth I will throw you. Before kings I will set you, [for them] to look upon you."

SearchGodsWord.org Proverbs 16:5 "Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished (8735). "

NWT of the Jehovah Witness Proverbs 16:5 "Everyone that is proud in heart is something detestable to Jehovah. Hand [may join] to hand, [yet] one will not be free from punishment."

SearchGodsWord.org 1 Peter 5:5 "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves (5649) unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject (5746) one to another, and be clothed (5663) with humility: for God resisteth (5731) the proud, and giveth (5719) grace to the humble."

NWT of the Jehovah Witness 1 Peter 5:5 "In like manner, YOU younger men, be in subjection to the older men. But all of YOU gird yourselves with lowliness of mind toward one another, because God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones."

My third example is manifesting a rebellous attitude toward authority!: Jude 11, Revelations 12:9, Hebrews 13:17, Colossians 3:20, Romans 13:1-6
SearchGodsWord.org Jude 11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone (5675) in the way of Cain¹, and ran greedily after (5681) the error of Balaam² for reward, and perished (5639) in the gainsaying of Core³. "
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Jude 11 "Too bad for them, because they have gone in the path of Cain¹, and have rushed into the erroneous course of Ba´laam² for reward, and have perished in the rebellious talk of Ko´rah³!"
SearchGodsWord.org Revelations 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out (5681), that old serpent, called (5746) the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth (5723) the whole world: he was cast out (5681) into the earth, and his angels were cast out (5681) with him."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Revelations 12:9 "So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him. "
SearchGodsWord.org Hebrews 13:17 "Obey (5732) them that have the rule (5740) over you, and submit yourselves (5720): for they watch (5719) for your souls, as they that must give (5694) account, that they may do (5725) it with joy, and not with grief (5723): for that is unprofitable for you."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Hebrews 13:17 "Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among YOU and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over YOUR souls as those who will render an account; that they may do this with joy and not with sighing, for this would be damaging to YOU."
SearchGodsWord.org Colossians 3:20 "Children, obey (5720) your parents in all things: for this is (5748) well pleasing unto the Lord. "
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Colossians 3:20 "YOU children, be obedient to [your] parents in everything, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord"
SearchGodsWord.org Romans 13:1-6 "1 Let every soul be subject (5732) unto the higher (5723) powers. For there is (5748) no power but of God *: the powers that be (5752) are (5748) ordained (5772) of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth (5734) the power, resisteth (5758) the ordinance of God: and they that resist (5761) shall receive (5695) to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are (5748) not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou (5719) then not be afraid (5738) of the power? do (5720) that which is good, and thou shalt have (5692) praise of the same: 4 For he is (5748) the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do (5725) that which is evil, be afraid (5732) (5737); for he beareth (5719) not the sword in vain: for he is (5748) the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth (5723) evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject (5733), not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye (5719) tribute also: for they are (5748) God's ministers, attending continually (5723) upon this very thing."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Romans 13:1-6 "1 Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God. 2 Therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it will receive judgment to themselves. 3 For those ruling are an object of fear, not to the good deed, but to the bad. Do you, then, want to have no fear of the authority? Keep doing good, and you will have praise from it; 4 for it is God’s minister to you for your good. But if you are doing what is bad, be in fear: for it is not without purpose that it bears the sword; for it is God’s minister, an avenger to express wrath upon the one practicing what is bad. 5 There is therefore compelling reason for YOU people to be in subjection, not only on account of that wrath but also on account of [YOUR] conscience. 6 For that is why YOU are also paying taxes; for they are God’s public servants constantly serving this very purpose. "

My fouth example is giving free rein⁴ to the desires of the fallen flesh: 1 John 2:15-17, Ephesians 4:17-24, Galatians 5:19-24, and Malachi 2:16
SearchGodsWord.org 1 John 2:15-17 "15 Love (5720) not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love (5725) the world, the love of the Father is (5748) not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is (5748) not of the Father, but is (5748) of the world. 17 And the world passeth away (5731), and the lust thereof: but he that doeth (5723) the will of God abideth (5719) for ever."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness 1 John 2:15-17 "Do not be loving either the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 16 because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. 17 Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever."
SearchGodsWord.org Ephesians 4:17-24 "17 This I say (5719) therefore, and testify (5736) in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk (5721) not as * * other Gentiles walk (5719), in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened (5772), being (5752) alienated (5772) from the life of God through the ignorance that is (5752) in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling (5761) have given themselves over (5656) unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned (5627) Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard (5656) him, and have been taught (5681) by him, as the truth is (5748) in Jesus: 22 That ye put off (5641) concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt (5746) according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed (5745) in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on (5670) the new man, which after God is created (5685) in righteousness and true holiness."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Ephesians 4:17-24 "17 This, therefore, I say and bear witness to in [the] Lord, that YOU no longer go on walking just as the nations also walk in the unprofitableness of their minds, 18 while they are in darkness mentally, and alienated from the life that belongs to God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the insensibility of their hearts. 19 Having come to be past all moral sense, they gave themselves over to loose conduct to work uncleanness of every sort with greediness. 20 But YOU did not learn the Christ to be so, 21 provided, indeed, that YOU heard him and were taught by means of him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22 that YOU should put away the old personality which conforms to YOUR former course of conduct and which is being corrupted according to his deceptive desires; 23 but that YOU should be made new in the force actuating YOUR mind, 24 and should put on the new personality which was created according to God’s will in true righteousness and loyalty."
SearchGodsWord.org Galatians 5:19-24 "19 Now the works of the flesh are (5748) manifest, which are (5748) these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:which I tell you before (5719), as I have also told you in time past (5627), that they which do (5723) such things shall not inherit (5692) the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is (5748) love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is (5748) no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified (5656) the flesh with the affections and lusts."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Galatians 5:19-24 "19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, 20 idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects, 21 envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these. As to these things I am forewarning YOU, the same way as I did forewarn YOU, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom. 22 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Moreover, those who belong to Christ Jesus impaled the flesh together with its passions and desires."
SearchGodsWord.org Malachi 2:16 "For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith (8804) that he hateth (8804) putting away (8763): for one covereth (8765) violence with his garment, saith (8804) the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed (8738) to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously⁵ (8799)."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Malachi 2:16 "16 For he has hated a divorcing,” Jehovah the God of Israel has said; “and the one who with violence has covered over his garment,” Jehovah of armies has said. “And YOU must guard yourselves respecting YOUR spirit, and YOU must not deal treacherously.⁵"

My fifth example is being dominated by the desire to possess what one sees: 1 John 2:15-17 (above 4th example) Genesis 3:6, Matthew 4:8-10, Matthew 13:18-23, 1 Timothy 6:7-10
SearchGodsWord.org Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw (8799) that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired (8737) to make one wise (8687), she took (8799) of the fruit thereof, and did eat (8799), and gave (8799) also unto her husband with her; and he did eat (8799)."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Genesis 3:6 "6 Consequently the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something to be longed for to the eyes, yes, the tree was desirable to look upon. So she began taking of its fruit and eating it. Afterward she gave some also to her husband when with her and he began eating it."
SearchGodsWord.org Matthew 4:8-10 "8 Again, the devil taketh him up (5719) into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth (5719) him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith (5719) unto him, All these things will I give (5692) thee, if thou wilt fall down (5631) and worship (5661) me. 10 Then saith (5719) Jesus unto him, Get thee hence (5720), Satan: for it is written (5769), Thou shalt worship (5692) the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve (5692)."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Matthew 4:8-10 "8 Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”
SearchGodsWord.org Matthew 13:18-23 "18 Hear (5657) ye therefore the parable of the sower (5723). 19 When any one heareth (5723) the word of the kingdom, and understandeth (5723) it not, then cometh (5736) the wicked one, and catcheth away (5719) that which was sown (5772) in his heart. This is (5748) he which received seed (5651) by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed (5651) into stony places, the same is (5748) he that heareth (5723) the word, and anon with joy receiveth (5723) it; 21 Yet hath he (5719) not root in himself, but dureth (5748) for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth (5637) because of the word, by and by he is offended (5743). 22 He also that received seed (5651) among the thorns is (5748) he that heareth (5723) the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke (5719) the word, and he becometh (5736) unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed (5651) into the good ground is (5748) he that heareth (5723) the word, and understandeth (5723) it; which also beareth fruit (5719), and bringeth forth (5719), some an hundredfold *, some sixty *, some thirty."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Matthew 13:18-23 "18 “YOU, then, listen to the illustration of the man that sowed. 19 Where anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not get the sense of it, the wicked one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart; this is the one sown alongside the road. 20 As for the one sown upon the rocky places, this is the one hearing the word and at once accepting it with joy. 21 Yet he has no root in himself but continues for a time, and after tribulation or persecution has arisen on account of the word he is at once stumbled. 22 As for the one sown among the thorns, this is the one hearing the word, but the anxiety of this system of things and the deceptive power of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 As for the one sown upon the fine soil, this is the one hearing the word and getting the sense of it, who really does bear fruit and produces, this one a hundredfold, that one sixty, the other thirty.”
SearchGodsWord.org 1 Timothy 6:7-10 "7 For we brought (5656) nothing into this world, and it is certain we can (5736) carry nothing * * out (5629). 8 And having 5723) food and raiment let us be therewith content (5701). 9 But they that will (5740) be rich (5721) fall (5719) into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown (5719) men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is (5748) the root of all evil: which while some coveted after 5734), they have erred (5681) from the faith, and pierced themselves through (5656) with many sorrows."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness 1 Timothy 6:7-10 "7 For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. 8 So, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content with these things. 9 However, those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and hurtful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains."

My sixth example is the showing off of possessions and supposed attainments: 1 John 2:15-17 (above 4th example), Romans 15:2
SearchGodsWord.org Romans 15:2 "Let every one of us please (5720) his neighbour for his good to edification."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Romans 15:2 "2 Let each of us please [his] neighbor in what is good for [his] upbuilding."

My seventh example is giving vent to emotions and violent acts: Galatians 5:19-24 (above 4th example), Ephesians 4:31, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
SearchGodsWord.org Ephesians 4:31 "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away (5682) from you, with all malice:"
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Ephesians 4:31 "31 Let all malicious bitterness and anger and wrath and screaming and abusive speech be taken away from YOU along with all badness."
SearchGodsWord.org 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "4 Charity suffereth long (5719), and is kind (5736); charity envieth (5719) not; charity vaunteth not itself (5736), is not puffed up (5743), 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly (5719), seeketh (5719) not her own, is not easily provoked (5743), thinketh (5736) no evil; 6 Rejoiceth (5719) not in iniquity, but rejoiceth (5719) in the truth; 7 Beareth (5719) all things, believeth (5719) all things, hopeth (5719) all things, endureth (5719) all things."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "4 Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, 5 does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. 6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

My eighth example is basing your hopes and fears on what humans can do: Psalms 146:3-4, Isaiah 8:12-13, Matthew 10:28, Hebrews 2:14-15, Psalms 46:1, Psalms 68:19
SearchGodsWord.org Psalms 146:3,4 "3 Put not your trust (8799) in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth (8799), he returneth (8799) to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish (8804)."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Psalms 146:3,4 "3 Do not put YOUR trust in nobles, Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. 4 His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish."
SearchGodsWord.org Isaiah 8:12,13 "12 Say (8799) ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say (8799), A confederacy; neither fear (8799) ye their fear, nor be afraid (8686). 13 Sanctify (8686) the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread (8688). "
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Isaiah 8:12,13 "12 “YOU men must not say, ‘A conspiracy!’ respecting all that of which this people keep saying, ‘A conspiracy!’ and the object of their fear YOU men must not fear, nor must YOU tremble at it. 13 Jehovah of armies—he is the One whom YOU should treat as holy, and he should be the object of YOUR fear, and he should be the One causing YOU to tremble.”
SearchGodsWord.org Matthew 10:28 "And fear * (5676) not them which kill (5723) the body, but are not able (5740) to kill (5658) the soul: but rather fear (5676) him which is able (5740) to destroy (5658) both soul and body in hell."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Matthew 10:28 "And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Ge·hen´na.⁶"
SearchGodsWord.org Hebrews 2:14,15 "14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers (5758) of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part (5627) of the same; that through death he might destroy (5661) him that had (5723) the power of death, that is (5748), the devil; 15 And deliver (5661) them who through fear of death were (5713) all their lifetime (5721) subject to bondage."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Hewbrews 2:14,15 "14 Therefore, since the “young children” are sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook of the same things, that through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil; 15 and [that] he might emancipate all those who for fear of death were subject to slavery all through their lives."

NWT of the Jehovah Witness Psalms 68:19 "19 Blessed be Jehovah, who daily carries the load for us, The [true] God of our salavation. Se´lah."

My ninth example and final one is worshipful honor to humans and things that be long to Jehovah God: 2 Corinthians 4:4, Acts 12:21-23
SearchGodsWord.org 2 Corinthians 4:4 "In whom the god of this world hath blinded (5656) the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is (5748) the image of God, should shine (5658) unto them."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness 2 Corinthians 4:4 "among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through"
SearchGodsWord.org Acts 12:21-23 "21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed (5671) in royal apparel, sat (5660) upon his throne, and made an oration (5707) unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout (5707), saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote (5656) him, because he gave (5656) not God the glory: and he was (5637) eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost (5656)."
NWT of the Jehovah Witness Acts 12:21-23 "21 But on a set day Herod clothed himself with royal raiment and sat down upon the judgment seat and began giving them a public address. 22 In turn the assembled people began shouting: “A god’s voice, and not a man’s!” 23 Instantly the angel of Jehovah struck him, because he did not give the glory to God; and he became eaten up with worms and expired.
