what God has given us

[deerhunter1224]

Some people are blessed with smarts, very creative. etc. Now these people they use their smarts and creative for evil works. Smart people come up with some biological weapon that could kill millions, creative person thats good at making movies. Makes porn movies. Why would God let this happen? Why give them this knowledge or does the devil also have a part in some of the knowledge.

Deerhunter, God does give us all gifts, what we do with them is our choice. Does Satan make us evil? Nope, but he does influence us, it is our own choice in whether or not we will take the gifts that God gave us and do good or evil with them.

Satan can copy most any gift given by the Father.... to wit: remember the girl that followed Paul,screaming? what gift did she have?
also, Remember when Moses threw down his staff for Pharoah? what did his magicians do? I could go on & on, but only the gift of the Holy Ghost is soley reserved for God, and can't be copied, altho many in Pentecostal churches(due to their doctrine of Speaking in tongues/interpretation as a gift) have been mis-led by false prophets giving totally fleshly interpretations...many folks in other Denoms have been/ARE mis-led by false teachers/preachers/healers through extrodinary displays, yet come to nothing, 'cuz they have no Godly power associated in any form. Now this doean NOT apply to all churches, but it IS effecting His church in a big way. Remember what Jesus said... the Gentiles seek a sign.. that hasn't changed,folks.... not in 2000 years.
your knowlege of Satans' power is limited, as is mine, as humans.... however, he WAS made ABOVE you and I, even after he fulfilled Gods' plan and was removed from Heaven... and Gods' word is full of stories demonstrating the power of Angels..... nothings' changed there, either.
exactly why we're told to "try the Spirits, to see if they're of God".. cause even the "very elect" CAN be deceived....if they ain't payin' attention.

Let me put this very plain: You can give 100 people a new beautiful deer rifle. 98 of those people will use it properly and hunt with it and be very careful with it. 2 of those will act like fools and kill someone else with it, or endanger the lives of others around them.

God gives men gifts, what we do with those gifts is our gift to God.

It isnt important what other people do with their gifts....

The important thing is what YOU do with your gifts. I certainly hope that you use your gifts to glorify God.

Amen Reb...We have enough trouble keeping up with our own selves. We must be careful lest we become judges.
