Does God create people to go to hell

Job is proof enough satin has to ask God permission and there are other scriptures also that support it. Hmmm One needs to understand what is going on before one makes blanket statements like this. For one thing, God is not in control in the Earth...At the time of Job, Satan is in control. Satan is the master of the Earth...Adam gave him dominion. That means that Satan did NOT need permission. Job allowed his fear for his kids rule him...That is a sin. Sin opens the doors to Satan's attacks. Job did bring it on himself....rather he opened the doors for the attack. Get used to it. Job WAS a good man, but he was only a man. He put his pants on one at a time just like we do....

Luke 22:31
“Shim‘on, Shim‘on, listen! The Adversary demanded to have you people for himself, to sift you like wheat! Demanding is hardly asking permission...You need a more accurate translation of the Bible maybe..
At that time Satan had dominion in the Earth...Adam gave it to him remember? :smile: Now platitudes don't cut it either..Only the truth does. Speaking for my friend W4F....

Satan is the king of this world. But God is the controller. You really think Satan will do anything with out God ALLOWING him to do so?

'Facepalm'
 
Dave this is not acceptable at all.
You bust my chops, pick a hand full of scriptures and make statements in which you simply have lack of understanding in and then say its best we don't continue.

What kind of Spirit is that Dave?

When I have my quiet time around 3am my time, I will present scripture to show you truth in this manner.

Thank you for your honest and loving fellowship
Blessings
Come on guys Cut each other's throats on your own time.
 
Again I'll answer for my friend W4F God is not in control in the Earth...That's a Churchianity cop out. Man has been given dominion in the Earth....
Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

CJB God blessed them: God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and every living creature that crawls on the earth.”


AMP
And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.”


Psalm 115:16 (CJB)
16 Heaven belongs to Adonai,
but the earth he has given to humankind.

These two verses alone blow away Churchianity doctrines.





Please read more and take the blind fold off.


Psalm 115:3
Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

Matthew 20:15
Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’

Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.


Romans 9:20
But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”

Psalm 135:6
Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.

Psalm 103:19
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

The fact of the matter is, my friend that Jesus died, went to Sheol, led the people out of there into Heaven and while He was at it He took the Keys from Satan and gave them back to us. We hold the keys.


Matthew 16:18-19 (CJB)
18 I also tell you this: you are Kefa,” [which means ‘Rock,’] “and on this rock I will build my Community, and the gates of Sh’ol will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”
We have dominion in the Earth! Now...What was the Rock on which Jesus is building His church....Not Peter...Not a pope. Come on! What does the Word say?

Satan can only do what WE allow him to do...Don't believe me? Stand against Satan and watch what happens! Resist the devil, means actively stand against him, and he WILL flee from you. So....Either you got it wrong or God did...Which is it?

Matthew 20:15
Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’

Wow You really took that one out of context...

8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and ending with the first.’ 9 The workers who came an hour before sunset each received a denarius, 10 so the workers who came first expected they would get more, but each of them also received just a denarius. 11 On receiving their wages, they began grumbling to the farmer, 12 ‘These latecomers have worked only one hour, while we have borne the brunt of the day’s work in the hot sun, yet you have put them on an equal footing with us!’ 13 But he answered one of them, ‘Look, friend, I’m not being unfair with you. Didn’t you agree to work today for a denarius? 14 Now take your pay and go! I choose to give the last worker as much as I’m giving you. 15 Haven’t I the right to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ 16 Thus the last ones will be first and the first last.


Proverbs 16:9 (CJB)
9 A person may plan his path, but Adonai directs his steps.

And wise is the man who follows Gods instructions, advice.

Romans 9:20
But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”

Another one out of context....What is being spoken of here? Someone is complaining about what God has done in him....And Who are we to complain about our loving God?

Romans 9:20
19 But you will say to me, “Then why does he still find fault with us? After all, who resists his will?” 20 Who are you, a mere human being, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to him who formed it, “Why did you make me this way?”[h] 21 Or has the potter no right to make from a given lump of clay this pot for honorable use and that one for dishonorable?



Psalm 135:6 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
6 Adonai does whatever pleases him,
in heaven, on earth, in the seas, in all the depths.
I love this verse Don't you? Now, again, what is God talking about...What does God do that pleases Him?
He raises clouds from the ends of the earth,
he makes the lightning flash in the rain
and brings the wind out from his storehouses.

He created beauty.
He struck down Egypt’s firstborn,
humans and animals alike.
9 He sent signs and wonders among you, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his subjects.
10 He struck many nations,
and slaughtered mighty kings —
11 Sichon king of the Emori,
‘Og king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Kena‘an.
12 Then he gave their land as a heritage,
to be possessed by Isra’el his people.

He set His people free from slavery. and gave all the land and riches of the captors to His people.

Look. I'm ready to pull the pin for today...I worked hard all day and I'm tired....Go over the rest of the scriptures you shared and see the context.....None of them say God is in control in the Earth...
 
Do we stand against Satan? Or does God in us stand against Satan? Man on his own is nothing. If God permits it too happen then it will happen no matter what.
We stand against Satan and God will back us up. Read the verse I gave
Matthew 16:18-19 (CJB)
18 I also tell you this: you are Kefa,” [which means ‘Rock,’] “and on this rock, I will build my Community, and the gates of Sh’ol will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” Read the verse I gave you brother.
 
How could you possibly say that too some one you consider a brother of Christ? He was defending the One we all sit under by using scripture to show you what he meant
Brother you may wish to step back and think before you jump.

What I said had no sharpness to it unless you put it there.

No brother that is not what he did. He assumed I was repeating things from particular pastors he does not care fore and in which he has no clue to.

That is not walking in love.
He was defending nothing and its not our job to defend Gods Word any way


Blessings be too you.
I wont sit idle by while you blast a man with good intentions. You were too worried about "getting your chops busted" instead of learning from what he said. You know how much I have learned already on this site from you guys?? A bunch. Praise Jesus.
That's just it. I didn't bust his chops.

You two have given scripture but you have not rightly divided them
 
Greetings Brothers @StudentX354 and @Dave M and @Bendito

We must Rightly Divide Scriptures at all times. This is done with or by other scriptures.

This means one can scroll through God's Most Holy Written Word and pull out Scriptures one thinks backs or proves his thinking or use.

Now then if any other single scripture or part of any other scripture does not agree or line up with the use of these scriptures then the use is in error from lack of understanding.

In the beginning God gave man Authority and Dominion over this earth.

Man lost it to satan. he the devil stole by deception.

Jesus via the Cross stripped satan, took back this authority and dominion and the keys to death AND gave them back to man.

Now let's look at a few scriptures.

Psalm 115:16
The heavens belong to the Lord,
but he has given the earth to all humanity.

The heavens -- the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

God is in Total Control of Heaven and this is why there is no curse or sickness or evil etc.

Man is in control over much of the affairs of this world and that is why evil runs rapid.

Matthew 6:10
Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

So to say God is in Total Control in this world would be in Violation of what Jesus Told us to pray. His Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
If God did what ever then it would be as deception telling us to pray His will be done here in this earth as His Will is Done there in Heaven.

Mathew 16:19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

So we see here that we are told what ever we loose (PERMIT ALLOW) Will be allowed or loosed in Heaven .
This means if we allow it then God will allow it.
It is the same for bind or not permit .

Now this is Addressed to His church and not just Peter. Another words if we do something about the devil then Jesus can but if we don't then He can not and that's why nothing gets done and given off as God is in control and He does what He pleases.


Further more there is no place in the new testament that tells us to pray to God about the devil and He will do something about it.

No we are told in James 4:7 to Submit unto God and Resist the devil and he will flee. Resist is not ignore. We resist by doing something with His Word.

We are also told to cast out demons. Heal the sick and so forth. Never told pray to God and He Will.

Look at John 10:10

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have itmore abundantly.

So when these things happen that you say God gave permission to......are they stealing health (sickness) or anything else or destroying or killing even your trust or faith.......then it's simply satan.

There are so many other scriptures to show all this.

God in Control of all that happens here in this earth was sown into the church by satin a very long time ago. Christians bought it and taught it for years.
See this takes away the attention on who is behind these evil things and writes them off as God had to permit it for a reason.

One needs to understand his enemy and how he works.

That God honors His Covenant totally at all times. He did His part but we must do our part other wise God can not interfere.

There are TWO types of Prayers God Will Not Answer.

What He has already done.
What He has told us to do.

Blessings and Love in Christ
 
I said he is god over this sin cursed world and not thee one true God.

We all were deceive until we heard the truth of the Good News of Jesus Christ, then we choose one way or the other.

Everyone will hear of Jesus and Gods saving Grace. There will be no excuses on Judgment day.

You can make food your god if you allow.
Your reply is biblical and of sound doctrine. You have been well taught. But howis it possible for everyone on the planet to hear about Jesus and his love. That cannot be taken literally -can it? And what about those who do not want to hear?

Im sorry if I have offended you. I do agree indeed. All of us need to pray and discern what the bible is actually saying. From where I grew up, it is in my nature to protect everyone. I have had to defend myself my whole life. Forgive me if I have wronged anybody. I didnt delete my Facebook to come here and argue(I DID DELETE MY FACEBOOK BECAUSE IT WAS UNGODLY PRAISE JESUS) I came here to learn more of scripture and have a better understanding of it. Thank you all, for everytime I am weak, I am strong, in Jesus's name.
Our fellowship if by Gods will, will grow stronger because of this trial. God is my sheperd. And all of yours too.
Satan isnt going to win this one. I am going to take today off on this site and pray for us all.
Peace and blessings and love too you all in Christs Name.

Brother Dave if you were walking in Love then you would not have even written this.

You have Judged who I sit under ( which you have no knowledge of)

You have judged me as being so stupid that I can not Hear God for myself or discern false from right.

Now I forgive you and hold no aught against you because I do walk in Love and I have learned to guard my mouth more so.

How about let's leave the sharp tongue to those forum guru's who always have a sharp quick retort.

Blessings and Love in Christ
Your BROTHER Jim


Brother I have to laugh at this as it is so Hypercritical and you dont see it. Love ya buddy have a great weekend.

I NEVER Judged you as being stupid, but have to ask you to look at the comments you made to me as they appear to say the same thing and I dont accuse you of judging me as stupid, just because I dont agree with you. You see when Pride takes over as it has with you, people become accuser, or they can NOT simply agree to disagree they have to have the last word.

Nothing but love here brother, If I have offended you in anyway I apologize, I dont agree with you on everything an I am good with that are you ok with that, , I know you Love Jesus and that is what is most important in fellowship.


You are forgiven brother :smile:

Greetings Dave,
Now let's look at this on my end because I know what I was thinking.

First of all you have assumed some things which are not true.

You did not offend me.
I am not walking in pride
You do not simply understand.

All I was doing was trying to show you was what comments like you made are saying no matter if you think so.

You did not accept what I said and that is fine.

Then you say that I need to stop listening to TV preachers and the false stuff they teach.

Now then that is something you assumed once again.

By saying I am repeating false thongs taught is saying I can not hear God for myself or discern truth from false, otherwise you either just spouted off in offense or truly believe it.

Truth is Dave, you can not make such claims because you have no idea who I sit under.

All I did was to try and show you this because its not of God this quick judgmental retort.

Again blessings
 
Your reply is biblical and of sound doctrine. You have been well taught. But howis it possible for everyone on the planet to hear about Jesus and his love. That cannot be taken literally -can it? And what about those who do not want to hear?
Greetings,
This is something you will have to ask the Father because I don't exactly know but I do know if He said it I'm His Word then it is so.
My job is to listen and do what He says then my part will be accomplished.
Blessings and Love in Christ
 
Satan is the king of this world. But God is the controller. You really think Satan will do anything with out God ALLOWING him to do so?

'Facepalm'

Whether Satan is allowed or not, Christians are responsible for whether Satan runs over them or not. It ought not be necessary for God to do one more thing on earth seeing we the Church have the keys of the Kingdom, not given to Satan.
Matthew 16:18-19 (KJV)
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.


We are on earth, He is in Heaven. If we do our part He will agree without having to come down here.
Jesus taught to pray His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. When we so pray in His will He must comply, for all we ask in His will is promised. Too many people just don't have much confidence they are at His will enough, or know His will to dare believe for and ask. Folks want God to get the Devil off their back when the way for us to that is made.
James 4:1-8 (KJV)
1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.


So no, Satan doesn't have authority over us if we use the authority we have over him in Jesus' name. God won't override us about that, permitting Satan to harm us if we are in covenant, using the power Jesus gives us. God keeps Hi word and holiness. Job didn't have that name, actually none had it in the old covenant days. They appealed directly to Father God mostly for mercy.
 
Basic Principles for Dealing with the Demonic

BY GERRY BRESHEARS JANUARY 1, 2008

Jesus triumphed over Satan and all his demons through His work of redemption, particularly by canceling the power of sin at the cross. (Matt. 12:28-29; Eph. 1:19-23; Col. 2:13-15) Satan is already condemned. (John 12:31; 16:11; Rev. 20:7-10)

The principle of authority is that we are in the kingdom of Christ. Jesus is Lord and head of all power and authority. Satan has absolutely no legitimate authority over the believer. We are free from Satan’s claims upon us. All sins are forgiven, all condemnation is ended, all cultic vows, promises, covenants, etc., were broken when a person comes into Christ's sphere of authority (Col. 1:13-14; 2:9-15). One must never compromise this principle by saying that sin gives a demon legal right to invade a believer or attach itself to your soul. Believe in God; disbelieve Satan.

Our primary weapons against demonic stratagems are faithful application of the fundamentals of the faith (Eph. 6:10-20; 1 Pet. 5:6-9). Light expels darkness.

The only spiritual information to be trusted is from God Himself. This comes through the Bible interpreted naturally. All other knowledge, information, experience is guilty until proven innocent and suspect even then. Be particularly cautious about deeper meanings or uses of passages out of context. These are the same methods the dark world uses. Any information that comes from demons is always presumed a lie or facts given for dark purposes.

Basic patterns of ministry are found in the Bible. Patterns that differ substantially are always suspect.

Avoid every form of contact with the demonic including astrology, new age paraphernalia, demonic movies and music, charms, séances, games, Ouija, etc. (Lev. 19:26, 31; 20:6; Deut. 18:9-13; Acts 19:18-20)

Using deliverance as a substitute for dealing with our flesh or in place of spiritual disciplines, is dangerous.

Most sins don’t need any kind of demonic involvement. Demons often claim credit for sin or a tragedy, trying to profess more power than they possess. Allowing this to go unchallenged may lead to an unwarranted sense of helplessness on the part of a believer.

One must be very careful not to give Satan and his demons too much attention. This can lead to fearfulness or overestimation of his power, to a fascination with evil, or even a kind of satanic worship. Don't know anything more about the demonic than is pastorally necessary. The Bible says nothing specific about demons' origins, hierarchies, territorial jurisdiction, names, or specific functions. That suggests that we don't need to know these things for success in spiritual warfare. It also suggests that we curb our natural curiosity about such things.
