Man’s Enemy is Personal Sin – Not a Supernatural Devil!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"] A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The Apostle Paul explains God's plan of redemption in Romans, having a great deal to say about sin, but making no mention of the devil. The Bible 'devil' is a personification of ungodly human desires, known as sin. As we learn from Hebrews, when Jesus put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, he destroyed the devil, because sin is the cause of death. God raised Jesus to a new life without sin or death and He can do the same for us. Here is a summary of the video: 00:00 - Introduction 00:49 - The speaker introduces himself as a Christadelphian, a group of Bible students who believe the Bible is inspired by God. The key belief discussed tonight is that man's enemy is personal sin, not a supernatural devil. Sin as Man's Enemy 06:25 - The speaker defines sin as an offence or missing the mark set by God. Sin results in death, as shown by various Bible verses, while obedience to God leads to eternal life. The speaker emphasises that sin originates from within man, not from an external supernatural devil. The Absence of the Devil in the Old Testament 18:24 - The word "devil" is never used in the Old Testament. The word "Satan" simply means "opponent" or "adversary" and is used to refer to human or angelic opponents, not a supernatural being. The story of the serpent in Genesis 3 does not describe a supernatural devil, but rather a cunning animal. The Devil and Satan in the New Testament 40:11 - The Greek words "diabolos" (devil) and "satanas" (Satan) also mean "slanderer" or "adversary" and do not refer to a supernatural evil being. References to the "devil" or "Satan" in the New Testament often personify sin and its consequences. Christ's Conquest of Sin 44:24 - Christ's sacrifice and death conquered sin and its consequences, the "devil" that brings death. Believers can follow Christ's example by putting to death their own lusts and desires, and being forgiven of their sins. 46:00 - Conclusion... The speaker summarises that sin, not a supernatural devil, is man's true enemy according to the Bible. Believers are called to follow God's principles and put to death their own sinful desires, in order to inherit the promised eternal life.
