Satan Thrown Out of Heaven

Revelations 12:7-12.
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them[a] in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

Nothing specific. Just, any two characteristics, is all.

Satan is a fallen angel. Satan walks to and fro looking for someone to devour.

What was the first sinful act committed by mankind?

[Mackenaw]

Hello Mlg, Notforgotten and everyone

The first sinful act by mankind was an act of defiance and disobedience towards God, in that Eve was tricked by the snake (Satan) into eating the fruit of The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (*), which God told them not to eat and warned them that they would die if they did. Eve then offered the same fruit to Adam and he ate the fruit.

For an account of this event, see Genesis chapter 3. But for good measure, read Chapters 1 and 2, also.

Also:  Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thank You Jesus

(*) PLEASE NOTE: I, Mack, initially typed the name of the tree as The Tree of Life, which was a big error. The name of the tree from which Adam and Eve ate of its fruit is The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. I have since corrected the error. Thank You Holy Spirit for the blessed nudge.


What event caused a rift between Barnabas and Paul?

Paul and Barnabas Part Paths

And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” And Barnabas was desirous of taking John, called Mark, along with them also. But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. And there arose such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.
