If that is two thirds, then satan has only 50 million demons. Significantly less than the population of the earth. These are of course only estimates, but you get the idea.

Ya, I get the idea. But when he syas he saw then thousand x ten thousand, it doesn't mean he counted everone to see this was the exact number. Rather, he is implying that there are MANY angels. Just like when Peter, one of Jesus' desciples, asked Jesus that if someone wrongs you, are you only supposed to forgive him seven times? Jesus said in reply, to forgive them seven x seven. He did not literaly mean 49 times only. He was giving an example that there is no limit to how many times you are to forgive someone.

I'd say there are probobly more than 100 million angels.

Wow luv and you totally believe huh because you didn't want to be different or was there some other threat that changed you of some sort? Do you really fear Hell and Satan that much or do you fear the disappointment of your friends more?

(I gotta go edit a post I typed previously defending your attempt at looking for the truth rather than succumbing to force and dogma... Welcome Back anyway luv)

See the attitude you get when you come to Christ? Such is the evidence that the world is also our enemy. It bugs people to see you come to Christ, and they consider it a "dogma". It bugs them because it bus Satan. "They promise you freedom, yet they themselves are slaves to sin. For a man is a slave to anything that has conquered him."

no matter what I think about your beliefs Faith,
one thing is certain - you do possess faith, loads of it.

You clearly also have much faith in your ability to avoid the dreaded carpal-tunnel syndrome - 14 posts per day (most of them quite long)!

Slow down or you'll need a doctor, or I guess, in your case, a FAITH healer... (sorry about the lame pun).

who are you talking to

lol, it's no problem 6. I told you, God gives me the words I need to say. I am only 15 years old by the way. Some people say this is an excuse of how I am the way I am because I am a Child. But Jesus said do not let anyone discourage you because of your age. He also said that anyone who tries to take His children from their faith, it would have been better for them to tie a millstone around their neck and throw themselves into the sea. And that things that cause people to sin are bound to happen, but how terrible for the one who makes them happen.

My faith is my own, given to me by God, no mortal man. I was raised by my father who was not Christian, I did not grow up going to church or reading the Bible or in a Christian life altogether. But I naturaly stayed true to God, because he had a plan for me. You know, I have only read the whole Bible once, and most of the time when I tell you things from the scripture I remember them.

The Holy spirit works through me, and when I was born again, I knew it.

for being 15 you have a bigger vocab then i do haha
thats a good thing in your case
bad in mine

Number 6 · 02-19-2007, 05:14 PM

only 15? wow.

maybe instead of trying to convince the heathens here, you should meet a nice girl, marry her (I know - no premarital sex for you guys) and be fruitful and multiply.

Since secular people tend to have less babies (see Europe - soon to be Eurabia), and since you religious guys just love having kids, and since we live in a democracy, you are bound to always win elections, to have your supreme court judges, presidents and so on.

If you guys are a major percent of the population, then evolution will not be taught in school, and there will be no legal abortion. so no argument is necessary.

So find yourself a nice wife and get to work, be sure to protect your kids and community from the "secular devils' propaganda" - and the world is yours.

Why am I telling you this? I put 100 dollars with a bookie that it'll happen.
