Mmelville says 'keep going chris'
~Verse to Room from Hatfield~
Ephesians 1:21
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Christopher says 'Eph 1:21'
Christopher says 'clearly makes reference to an evil power'
Hatfield says 'go ahead and paste what you have if not kjv'
Christopher says 'we can see it in the context'
Marsuvees nods.
Christopher says 'so this power is basically evil'
Christopher says 'and christ would have nothing to do with darkness since God is light'
Marsuvees says 'Whether it be specifically Satan or not, the point remains the same'
Alric nods at Marsuvees.
Hatfield says 'what is not of God is of Satan.'
Christopher says 'the word for prince is closely related to the greek for principality btw'
Hatfield says 'makes sense Chris'
Christopher says 'I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. (John 14:30)'
Wargreymon nods.
Christopher says 'this "spirit" is not the spirit of God but of the antichrist'
Christopher says 'Paul made mention that it was already working in the disobedient'
Hatfield says 'mentions the sons of disob. in the verses sited for study'
Christopher says 'notice that Satan has power over the air, and television and radio waves are transferred through the air'
Cyto says 'remember satan said to Jesus that he would give the world to Jesus'
Christopher says 'this is likely the cause of the evil in the media'
Alric peers intently at Christopher.
Wargreymon nods.
Hatfield raises an eyebrow at Christopher's weird actions.
Alric says 'we also breathe air, we don't want to go too far here'
Mmelville says 'i think i get what ur saying'
Redfieldt nods in enthusiastic agreement with Alric.
Cyto says 'well I'd look at it more like this'
Christopher says 'the air is not physical oxygen'
Cyto says 'satan has sway over many men's hearts'
Mmelville says 'sway meaning...'
Cyto says 'control'
Cyto says 'influence'
Mmelville says 'kk'
Hatfield says 'I don't want to get off the subj of the study, but having studied communications I'd point out Christian broadcasting...and the fact that what is broadcast is by people's choices not by the medium they are broadcast through'
Christopher says '' or influence'
Redfieldt says 'well satan had control over all of our hearts before we accepted Jesus as savior'
Cyto nods.
Alric says 'the air that we breathe and the air that radio/television is transmitted through is the same air. '
Mmelville nods.
Marsuvees nods at Redfieldt.
Cyto says 'well television and radio are transmitted through space'
Hatfield says 'but it is the broadcaster's choices that determine what is broadcast'
Mmelville says 'yes'
Marsuvees says 'Which is the point of the passage, Reddy'
Alric nods at Cyto.
Cyto says 'air happens to occupy it too'
Redfieldt nods.
Christopher says 'we all at one time gratified the sinful cravings of the flesh'
Christopher says 'by nature we are all prone to sin'
Christopher says 'Cyto can expound a little more on that'
Baran says 'its possible "air" has a different context. maybe more like the influences directly in our path'
Mmelville nods.
Mmelville says 'yeah'
Alric says 'anyway I only want to make the point that radio / broadcast media isn't inherently tainted by satan because Air happens to be one of its mediums. After that, it's pretty tangental'
Wargreymon says, "Bah" and turns away in contempt.
Marsuvees pats Wargreymon on her head.
Redfieldt says 'anyone agree with me that everything media wise is God given talent, it's our evil intent that malforms it?'
Christopher says 'agreed'
Marsuvees says 'Often in ancient times, there was little distinction between the sky, heavens, and the places of the gods.'
Baran nods in enthusiastic agreement with Redfieldt.
Alric says 'yes'
Marsuvees nods at Redfieldt.
Mmelville says 'yes'
Hatfield says 'it is man's choices how it is used, the talent is given by God yes'
Cyto says 'when i think of air i think of freedom'
Cyto says 'of flight'
Wargreymon says '(--|CuratorS> I still need a new cat5 connector for that cord that runs from my DSL box to the router thats in the basement'
Mmelville nods.
Cyto says 'the FIRST sin was pride'
Cyto says 'Satan rebelled against God'
Christopher says 'iniquity was found in him'
Cyto says 'there's this band called Seanachai (spelling?) witha song called Unrepentant Feinian ---------'
Mmelville says 'what is that?'
Mmelville says 'i kno what a band is and what a song is but what is unrepentant reinian'
Mmelville says 'feinian*'
Cyto says 'and it goes pump your fist if you love freedom, pump your fist if you love culture, respect to all those who refuse to be mastered'
Cyto says 'and it reminds me'
Wargreymon sighs.
Cyto says 'of satan'
Marsuvees nods.
Cyto says 'they're respecting those who refuse control'
Mmelville nods.
Cyto says 'IRA band'
Dolci says 'but doesn't satan want to control us?'
Cyto says 'yes'
Cyto says 'ironic'
Mmelville says 'is it supposed to be a christian band?'
Cyto shakes his head no.
Redfieldt says 'yes and no'
Redfieldt says 'all satan wants to do'
Cyto says 'Irish republican army band'
Redfieldt says 'is to make us forsake God'
Hatfield says 'Satan, being the Lord of Lies, wants you to THINK that you have control'
Marsuvees says 'Hmm...purporting to bring about freedom, but only binding further. Ironic indeed.'
Mmelville says 'is get u away from god becase what isnt godly is of satan right?'
Cyto says 'Satan says be free'
Cyto says 'but what is that freedom, slavery to sin'
Hatfield says 'what he's meaning is 'get away from God''
Mmelville says 'free meaning away from god right'
Mmelville says 'yeah'
Alric sighs.
Marsuvees raises an eyebrow at Alric's weird actions.
Alric says 'cranky baby'
Alric happily waves goodbye.
Marsuvees says 'Oh :)'
Marsuvees gallantly tips his hat to Alric.
Cyto says 'Jesus says Obey, but that obedience, is to perfect beauty, to love and life and joy'
Cyto says 'what you'd want anyway'
Mmelville nods.
Cyto says 'you get away from God he can control you cuz he's powerful'
Cyto says 'he wanted the worship of everyone'
Wargreymon nods.
Christopher says 'Deut 18:21'
Cyto says 'verse to room deut 18 21'
Cyto says 'and it will automatically post'
Redfieldt says 'while God wants us to worship him, he will not force us to do so'
~Verse to Room from Cyto~
Deuteronomy 18:21
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
Hatfield says 'because he wants us willingly, not as puppets'
Christopher says 'hmm'
Redfieldt says 'even as saved Christians, he allows us to make our own choices, '
Mmelville says 'yeah'
Cyto says 'what does the passage say'
Baran says 'wich is why He gave us free will in the first place'
~Verse to Room from Christopher~
Deuteronomy 32:18
Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Mmelville says 'which is a good thing and a bad thing i think'
Redfieldt says 'and if we make the wrong ones, we will hear Depart from me I never knew you'
Cyto says 'in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.'
Cyto says 'you walked according not to your free desire'
Cyto says 'but according to the prince of this world'
~Verse to Room from Christopher~
Deuteronomy 30:17
But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
~Verse to Room from Christopher~

I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
Christopher says ': )'
Cyto says 'Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the re'
Cyto says 'what you think about that passage'
Hatfield says 'forgive me friends, but I need to scoot'
Hatfield yawns.
Dolci hugs Hatfield.
Christopher says 'sorry for the mix up, i found it'
Cyto says 'Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest'
Hatfield says 'have a blessed night, as usual, I'll catch up on the log'
Cyto smiles at Hatfield and greets him with, "Shalom, the Lord's peace be with you."
Hatfield bows deeply.
Cyto says 'ever have the experience'
Cyto says 'where you let your thoughts go'
Cyto says 'somewhere they shouldn't'
Redfieldt says 'yep I have'

Mmelville says 'yes'
Cyto says 'you know its wrong'
Cyto says 'you don't want it there'
Baran says 'most who use hate tend to hate themselves most of all'
Cyto says 'but your mind keeps turning and swirling and turning'
Christopher says 'What is going on?'
Cyto says 'is that freedom'

Mmelville says 'my parents say i shouldnt hate anyone but the devil so i just dislike a lot of ppl no affence i kno i shouldnt but i do a little'
Baran says 'no its not freedom. is slavery'
Wargreymon nods.
Cyto says 'if you stay up, I'll tell you the secret to loving everybody'

Cyto says 'actually we covered it in romans 15 and eph 1'
Mmelville says 'what do u mean stay up?'

Redfieldt says 'this is gonna be an alnighter'
Mmelville says 'ok when is the end'

Redfieldt nods.
Cyto says 'we were by nature children of wrath'
Redfieldt says 'my southren coffe doesnt'

Mmelville says 'what time does this get over?'
Cyto says 'we were by nature Children of wrath'
Cyto says 'usually end at 11'
Redfieldt says 'we were sinners from adam'
Cyto says 'might go a tad late'
Marsuvees says 'That's a much-debated subject'
Dolci says '11 eastern?'

Marsuvees raises his hand in response.
Cyto nods at Marsuvees.
Mmelville says 'i have a question'
Mmelville says 'go ahead'
Marsuvees says 'So is it Children who produce wrath, or children produced by wrath, or Children destined for wrath? Any of them are viable from the Greek...'
Cyto says 'OOOH'
Cyto says 'you know i wasn't thinking that way'
Baran says 'i think that all three are applicaple'
Cyto says 'i was thinking english'
Redfieldt says 'I go with the first one'
Cyto says 'children of Wrath'
Marsuvees says 'And give reasoning why you think such'
Redfieldt says 'brb'
Mmelville says 'i think the children of wrath are children of wraith because of other childer hating them or making them make bad decisions and when im hated sometimes i dont like that person that hates me'
Mmelville says 'thats just my oppinion'
Cyto nods.
Marsuvees says 'That has merit, but this verse says that it's in our nature'
Mmelville says 'icic'
Cyto says 'so if its in our nature'
Cyto says 'I would think Children of wrath'
Mmelville says 'then were going to hate???'
Marsuvees says 'So is it produced in us (by outside forces, such as other ppl), or is it a part of us?'
Dolci says 'cuz we are born in sin?'
Mmelville says 'yes'
Cyto says 'there are other places in the bible'
Baran says 'i think all 3. as sinners we have been produced by the hatred around us, in a lot of cases we produce more hatred wich feeds satans aims,and end up destined for hatred if we dont let go and give ourselves to the One who truly loves us'
Cyto says 'Jesus said that His children follow Him, the Pharisees were of Their father the devil'
Marsuvees nods at Cyto.
Mmelville says 'i have a q'
Marsuvees nods at Mmelville.
Cyto nods.
Cyto points excitedly at Mmelville!
Mmelville says 'are we supposed to hate all the people in hell or just the devil and the ppl in hell will they get a second chance to go to heaven for like the children in other countries that havent even heard of christ'
Mmelville says 'or once their in hell they stay forever?'
Cyto says 'Okay we're not supposed to hate anyone on earth'
Mmelville says 'i kno'
Mmelville says 'but their not on earth'
Mmelville says 'their in hell'
Baran says 'well biblically no one is in hell yet'
Marsuvees says 'I pity those in hell'
Mmelville says 'what???'
Baran says 'that will come after Christ's second coming'
Cyto says 'second as for children'
Marsuvees says 'There are differing views on that, Baran'
Cyto nods.
Mmelville says 'i thought ppl are already in hell'
Cyto says 'kinda depends on your definition of hell'
Baran says 'i dont see how there could be. its clearly there'
Baran says 'but ok'
Mmelville says 'that is why their is demons'
Cyto shakes his head no at Mmelville.
Mmelville says 'no....'
Cyto says 'demons are fallen angels'
Mmelville says 'then where did the demons come from'
Mmelville says 'they are?'
Cyto nods.
Redfieldt says 'yep'
Baran says 'from my understanding demons are no more in hell than Satan. they are in this world'
Mmelville says 'the only one i knew of was lusapher'
Christopher says 'there are people in hell'
Redfieldt says 'true baran'
Cyto says 'when lucifer fell he took a third of the angels with him'
