How to defeat the deceitful Satan



If we are to defeat the deceitful Satan, let us remember how we are to fight against him

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with righteousness, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, 16 and above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one; 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

2 Corinthians 6:7 In the word of truth, in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and on the left;

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk according to the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, to the pulling down of arguments, 5 to the pulling down of every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and to bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Our Lord Jesus was able to overcome the temptations of Satan (Luke 4:13, Hebrews 4:15, 12:3), because, having fought against him with the whole armor of God, He did not allow the spirit of the evil one to enter into Him (John 14:30).

1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

Chapter 4 A mysterious verse: “All the angels of God worship him”

  Chapter 4 A mysterious verse: “All the angels of God worship him ”   In the work of repositioning the Christian theology according to the classic reading of the Bible, we must compare manuscripts and evaluating playback variants which sometimes occur in certain places (verses). This is a vital duty to ensure that we are on the path followed by the early classic Christians. The Epistle to Hebrews chapter 1 contains some elements that need to be discussed carefully: We refer to a phrase from the Septuagint - a quote in verse 6 (“All the angels of God worship him”) - which in the ancient Hebrew text (the Masoretic text) does not exist at all. There is neither in the Samaritan text (Pentateuch) nor in certain versions (revisions) of the Septuagint. We will not find this phrase in the Old Testament as translated by many good and well known authors. How we make our decisions? How do we will interpret the missing text? A learned textual critic wrote that in a cave n...

Chapter 3 Why the Bible doesn't say what the songs say?

  Chapter 3 Why the Bible doesn't say what the songs say?   It is true that the Bible speaks about God, the heavenly Father and Creator of all, about his Son and about His spirit, the holy spirit, however, if we read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, we find the testimony that there is only One true God, the Father only. Here are some examples: Exodus 20:1. And God spoke all these words: 2.“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3.“You shall have no other gods before a me.” Matthew 4:10: "Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan! For it is written: "Worship the LORD (YHWH) your God, and serve him only. (quote from the Old Testament) We see this from Exodus 20 and John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." 1Corinthians 8:5-6: “For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many ...

Chapter 10 THE APOSTLES' CREED - Reconstruction according to the oldest known versions

  Chapter 10 THE APOSTLES' CREED - Reconstruction according to the oldest known versions   The so called APOSTLES' CREED was written in Greek language (later translated in Latin), around 135 AD - possible in Rome - as a synthesis of what the apostles believed, to oppose the virulent pseudo-christian Gnostic sects. The Apostles’ Creed is the earliest known biblical Christian creed. The idea of God as a trinity, Christ’s descending in hell, the immediate after-death judgement and the endless torment of the sinners is not hinted. In Italy and Gaul, in the fifth century, the phrase “ he descended into hell ” came into the creed.    In Latin Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem  (pantokratora - Hippolytus and Marcellus), creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Iesum Christum, Fílium eius únicum, Dóminum nostrum, qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus et sepúltus, (descéndit...
