Terry: I believe
that Satan is a fallen angel, the father of lies.
Raymond: I agree.
Terry: I believe that with at least six
thousand years experience he is a very good liar and you do not necessarily
have to be gullible to be taken in by him.
Raymond: I agree.
Terry: I believe that he is but one
person who cannot be everywhere at once as God can, but he has hoards of
demons doing his work and spreading his lies.
Raymond: I believe that God is in one
place at a time, but that His power and influence are vast reaching. Like the
sun is in one place and its power is felt by all. God also has angels doing
His work. As for Satan, he is in only one place at a time, but his influence
is broadly felt. I believe that his power, though, is far less than God’s. Oh,
and yes, the devil does have demons doing his dirty work.
Terry: I believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the only begotten Son of God.
Raymond: I agree.
Terry: I believe it is Jesus, Alpha to
Omega, a to z, beginning to end.
Raymond: I agree.
Terry: He is the second person of the
Godhead who created everything that was created.
Raymond: I agree, but would add that He
created under the direction of His Father.
Terry: He was here before the universe
was created and will be here when it is destroyed.
Raymond: He has no beginning and has no
ending. As for the Universe, I don’t believe it will be destroyed.
Terry: They are total opposites, good
versus evil. They have nothing in common.
Raymond: I agree.
Terry: I believe that the Bible is the
word of God and is complete.
Raymond: I believe that the Bible is
the word of God insofar as it is translated correctly. According to the Bible,
itself, it is not complete.
Terry: Everything we need to know about
praise, worship, sacrifice, love, obedience and salvation is contained in this
one book.
Raymond: Do you suppose that all of
God’s wisdom is in one book? What if He wanted to say more to us? Would you
tell Him no? Would you tell Him that He should have said it way back when or
else you will not listen?
Terry: Anything added since it's
completion is of the devil, including but not limited to the book of
Mormon.
Raymond: That’s a rather bold and broad
statement. What proof do you have that it is of Satan and not of
God?
Terry: That is it in a nut
shell.
Raymond: I look forward to your
answers.
Terry: I will forward something a
little more detailed that I wrote a short time back, before you came
on.
Raymond: Thanks, I look forward to
reading it. I’m trying to get caught up on my email. I guess, that I don’t
have all of the available time that many in this group seem to
have.
