When the Lord returns, He will ask: where is the faith?! But before faith, spiritual humility must abide! The world and Satan has always lacked therein. It was said of Satan that he was a trader. He was always scheming. Ergo the Lord bypassed further exaltation for him. God created man with less than what was given to Satan, but the Lord's heart was fixed upon Man! His hatred of God, Israel and the Church was the only thing that could assuage his damaged pride! Pride does indeed go before a fall! The difference then between humilitiy and pride is Heaven and Hell! TR Again, Christ invites! The AC demands! TR So true! With Jesus its free will. For those who do accept Him, Jesus writes His name on our foreheads, we get a new name, gives us a brand new glorified body like His, we will have fellowship (never lonely), a wedding, a dwelling place with the best organic free food and drinks, we will be assigned jobs rule and reign with Him and we will never get sick or die. However, with the AC (aka devil) its the complete opposite ... he demands/forces and promises a fake utopia life, the fountain of youth body if you take the mark of the beast, demands the unbelievers to worship him and then he gives them ... just a number on their forehead or right hand. No special relationship at all and the end results is death and suffering with him in the Lake of Fire forever. :negative:
