God and the devil can be present at the same time in a believer. Once you place your trust in God and as Jesus to come into your life he sends his Holy Spirit who lives within you and acts almost like a conscience would. His job is to direct us and convict us of sin. However, God does not control us and never forces us to do his will but gives us free will. This means that we can choose right from wrong. When we do wrong we are sinning and God has no part in sin. Therfore we are choosing "flesh" over "spirit" and the flesh is a device of Satan. So while the devil does not "live" in us as Christ does he can operate within us the same time the Holy spirit does. They cannot be active at the same time though. The Holy Spirit give us the choice of who whether we choose right from wrong or God from Satan.
Every believer is indwelt by the Spirit of God. So how could a believer ever think of taking a body in which the Holy Spirit dwells and using it for vile purposes? Not only is the believer's body the shrine of the Holy Spirit, but in addition, the believer belongs to God. It is not for believers to take their bodies and use them the way they desire.
TheistHe is called a believer.
I hear that when God made the devil, the devil was God's favorite angel. He loved him so much that he gave the Devil so much power. So much power that the devil thought he could rule the universe. When God caught him, he sent him to a bad place. Sorry Father, I hope you can forgive me.
That depends on the religon. For Christians: No. The devil is a fallen angel by the name of Lucifer. All angels were created by God, even the ones who eventually became evil. It depends. If you use the Greek mythology the equivalent of God is Zeus and the Devil is Hades, they are brothers. So you have to ask does Zeus love his brother. I guess it depends on what Religion or Mythology you look at the situation.
In Greek mythology, the god of temptation is often associated with Eros, the god of love and desire. In Christian theology, temptation is often attributed to the devil or Satan.
God and the devil cannot be in the life of a believer at the same time. What has light got to do with darkness /
Yes both God and Satan can be there together at the same time. It was there at the time of Job.
A true believer of God will definitely defeat the devil.
If the believer is not plugged in to the Word of God and is not in church every sunday, then it is easier for the devil to get into thier home and in thier lives and start to tempt them.
NObody knows that god can dO anything but don't know much about I would say no to the question
Essentially Hinduism presents many forms of the same God to let the believer have his/her own choice. God is compassionate par-excellence and should not God provide choice? - God does.
I believe so, read the book of Job.
Can a believer be cursed to have a smell that make people want to go throw up
Nobody knows that for certain. However, you can read The Book of Job for better examples.
You can be a believer in God even if you do not join one of the major religions. Belief in God does not have to be a method of exclusion based on dogma. However, you do miss out on the fellowship of other people who have the same, or similar, outlook as you do.
Oh no they are not at all the same.
