Have you ever been tested by the devil? because if you haven't you are doing something WRONG.? King James Version John 16:33 things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

I have been tested by the devil and it was horrific. it lasted nearly 40 years.

Preachers often say they know they're over the target when the attacks increase.
 
There is no "devil."

All the angels that sinned are locked up.

2 Peter 2:4
Jude vs. 6

I would revise that slightly to say that "there is no devil anymore" since He was slain by God long ago at the predicted time. And the angels that were reserved for the day of judgment have also been destroyed in that past day of judgment.

Anyone who claims they are a target today for Satan or his devils is either suffering from a physiological issue that needs one or more of a variety of medical attentions, or they are being tempted by a sinful inclination of their own hearts, which can be controlled with the Holy Spirit's help and with fellow-Christians stepping in to assist with encouragement and/or counsel. To give the blame to Satan since his destruction by God is only passing the buck instead of claiming ownership of the problem.

Jude 6

6 And the angels who did not stay within their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling—these He has kept in eternal chains under darkness, bound for judgment on that great day.

Which angels were these?
Rev 6:2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.
 
Ephesians 2:2 was true of the first century times, during Satan's "short time" and "little season" of release in this world from AD 33 until his destruction in AD 70. John in Revelation 12:12 warned the first-century believers that Satan had then been cast down to earth and allowed only that "short time" to operate.

They often say one of Satans (and the demons) schemes is to make people believe he doesn't exist or is locked up. This would mean he (they) haves no influence over you.
It's truly amazing just how gullible people are and will make this claim....then they try to use the Word of God to prove it.

According to your FALSE doctrine Satan is no longer prowling around like a roaring lion...
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.....that ended in AD 70.

Or, we should not put on the armor of God, so that we can make our stand against the devil’s schemes...this verse is no N/A, after all he's locked up.

OR....we no now only wrestle against flesh and blood, and not against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.....because they have been locked up.

No, those wicked angelic beings are not "locked up" anymore. They have all been destroyed, as scripture predicted. You can ignore those scripture predictions of when Satan and his minions were going to be eradicated back in the first century, but it only keeps you in constant tension against a spiritual enemy that no longer exists.

It's rather like trying to teach an abused dog who has been rescued that his tormenters are no longer around. That dog is not going to believe you, and will probably always be fearful that his abusers will reappear to torment him once again.

Like an abused dog, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Some people such as yourself cannot seem to function in this world without thinking that Satan and the devils are still around creating mayhem. One would think that the reaction would be a joyful one to the scriptures telling us when the Satanic realm was entirely destroyed. But no. People simply must believe that Satan is still around, so that they can have a scapegoat to pass the blame for all the evil in this world, instead of owning our own guilt in producing this evil from our own hearts, as Christ once said.

Mankind's performance of evil today is even worse than Satan's ever was, since we are presumptuously sinning against the grace extended to humanity by Christ's sacrifice on behalf of our humankind. Angels were never given such a chance. Christ did not take up the angels' cause - He took up our own flesh and blood existence and identified with us in order to redeem us. And He got rid of our great enemy Satan and his devils so that we can no longer claim that oppression as an excuse for our sin. At this point in time, all the blame for any evil in this world is on us as sinful humankind.

At the culmination point of all history, the humiliating full record will show that mankind still chose to sin, no matter what the "spiritual" environment it was placed in.

In a perfect world with a perfectly-created original couple, they chose to sin.
In a sin-cursed world with Satan operating freely with no restrictions, we still sinned.
In a sin-cursed world with Satan bound from deceiving the nations for a thousand years, we still sinned.
In a sin-cursed world with a wrathful Satan released for a "short time" after AD 33 to deceive the nations again, of course, we still sinned.
In the NHNE world now purged of the presence of Satan and his devils, guess what? We are still sinning.

It will take God stepping in to finally purge this planet of the remaining HUMAN evil in it. He will do this by purifying us in a bodily-resurrected state of incorruptibility so that we will never again choose to sin.

You are wrong. If you read the Bible you would know that.

Do you really think that I would present such a view without doing the full research needed from scripture for this? The evidence is there. Most just don't want to accept it.

I don't think you have done enough research inside and outside of scripture. So the answer to your question is NO.

No, most people can see through your satanic inspired 🐂 :poop:.

There is no doubt that mankind is fallen and has an evil heart...there is also no doubt that the bible tells us evil spirits are still here and can easily push the buttons of the fallen race with evil hearts.

LOL...sounds good, but the bible tells us satan is still around.
Should all of our sins be blamed on satan? The answer is no.
Is satan the cause of some the worlds evil??? That answer is yes.

The bible teaches satan and his devils are still present. To teach otherwise isn't biblical.

No one is saying there will be no final purge.

Despite your "full research"...many have blown your 12 years of research wide open.

Should all of our sins be blamed on satan? The answer is no.
Is satan the cause of some the worlds evil??? That answer is yes
No, the Bible tells us that in the first century when those books were still being written, that Satan was then operating at full throttle for his "short time" of release from his millennial chain that had bound his deception of the nations until AD 33. What was true then of Satan's activity is not true of today's reality, since God slew Satan the Dragon back in AD 70, as He predicted through Isaiah and Ezekiel.

In one sense, I agree we could say that Satan is responsible for jumpstarting all the world's evil, since he got the ball rolling back in the Garden of Eden with his tempting the original couple into committing sin.
The bible teaches satan and his devils are still present. To teach otherwise isn't biblical.
No, it doesn't. Scripture teaches an end to Satan and all his minions so that he and they would no longer exist at a particular point. That point has come and gone since AD 70. You just missed the memo, is all.
You should try a lot more than that.
There are only 24 hours in a day, and there is no multiplying that. I wish I had come to understand these things when I was first converted back in 1972, but I can't change that at this point.

The word "converted" does not adequately convey the concept of the new birth in spirit, being born again in truth with a renewed mind that is a new creation. It generally refers to changing a belief system. Even demons believe. I am not mocking you, but 12 years isn't a very long time where it comes to the study of the demonic. For example, you seem to have claimed that a "physiological" condition is responsible for all demonic behaviours we see today because your reading of the Biblical verse that says the fallen angels are bound in hades is the ultimate end and product of 12 years of study, even though the New Testament also talks about resisting the devil and he will flee from you, or putting on the spiritual armour of God to stand against the devil, etc., etc. You don't bother to tell anybody what the specific physiological condition actually is, nor how to treat it, either. So how can anybody really take your posts seriously?

What are the 3 resurrections?
