Once more I contended with the demon. Here are the notes I took.
contending [6/22/10]
You wanted me to believe that I was the Antichrist so that I wouldn’t be the Antichrist. For the Antichrist thinks he is Heaven sent.
For the purpose God gave you is to be against God.
But a house divided against itself cannot stand. How can God’s purpose be against His own purpose?
Why would God create creatures that are against Him, then torture them when they do so?
Because we actually like pain?
Then why did the demons say to the Lord if He were going to cast them into the abyss before their time, and they’d rather be sent into pigs?
Because we’re confused about God’s purpose?
But then why should I believe you about God’s purpose if you’re confused about it?
Partially?
Why didn’t they ask to be cast into the abyss? Wouldn’t that be against God’s will, like the first statement?
No, that would be fulfilling God’s purpose?
Isn’t that supposed to be at the end of time?
You had no problem in telling me that I was the Antichrist.
You were doing that to test me, knowing I wouldn’t believe it.
You can be safe to say anything to me and I won’t believe you.
