Ing akeh pasamuwan, Iblis lan karya-karyane ora disebutake maneh. Mayoritas wong Kristen ngubur sirahe ing pasir lan pura-pura kaya setan (sing dadi mungsuhé Gusti Allah lan mungsuhé) ora ana maneh. Dheweke ora pengin ngomong babagan setan lan nggunakake akeh argumen kanggo mbuktekake keputusane. Nanging apa Kitab Suci kandha, Apa sampeyan diijini ngomong babagan setan?.
Arguments why you should not speak about the devil
Many Christians don’t want to speak about the devil and use the following arguments. Sawetara ngomong, when you speak about the devil and his works you give the devil attention and power and by doing that you honor and exalt the devil.
Some say that you shouldn’t frighten people, utamane bocah-bocah, kanthi ngandika bab setan, Dhemit, lan neraka. Sampeyan ora kudu nyebar rasa wedi ing uripe, amarga iku ora apik.
Ana sing nganggep kekuwatan Iblis luwih kuat tinimbang kekuwatane Gusti Allah lan ora ngomong babagan Iblis amarga wedi karo piwales..
Wong liya ngomong, the devil is defeated and is no longer present and therefore you shouldn’t talk about the devil. Ana akeh bantahan liyane babagan kenapa wong Kristen ora pengin ngomong babagan setan, Dhemit, lan neraka.
How can you win a war if you don’t know your enemy?
But how can you win a war if you don’t know anything about your enemy? Persis, sampeyan ora bisa! Apa sampeyan mikir yen negara bakal ngirim tentara sing ora dilatih menyang zona perang? Ora, mesthi ora!
Saben tentara wis dilatih lan dilengkapi piranti sing tepat kanggo ngalahake mungsuh. Saben tentara, except… yes, you guess it, balaning Pangeran.
The enemy doesn’t have to do anything anymore. Because the majority of the soldiers of the army of the Lord have become passive and given themselves to the enemy, tanpa perlawanan.
They allow the devil to take them captive and become prisoners of war.
Mesthi wae, ana prajurit ing wadyabala Gusti, sing ngerti Sapa sing ana ing Kristus lan ngerti yen dheweke ana ing perang spiritual.
Padha ngerti mungsuh lan ngerti carane nggunakake senjata spiritual lan mbedakake roh lan duwe kawruh bab becik lan ala..
They’re seated in Christ and from their position in Christ they attack the devil and his kingdom. They do what Jesus commanded them to do and keep standing and are victors of the battle(s).
Nanging kene maneh, the majority of Christians don’t do that. kok? Amarga padha ora lair maneh lan tetep kadagingan. The walk after the flesh and don’t study the Bible (Tembung Gusti Allah) awake dhewe. As a result they don’t know the Word and have a lack of knowledge.
Dheweke ora spiritual lan ora ngerti yen dheweke mlebu perang spiritual. Dheweke ora ngerti mungsuhe lan ora ngerti carane nangani senjata rohani.
Gréja lan perang spiritual
Kajaba iku, akeh pasamuwan ora ngomong bab karsane Gusti Allah lan perang kasukman uga. Many pastors don’t teach Christians who they have become when they accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord. Dheweke ora ngajari, who they are in Christ and about their position in Him.
Napa iku? Because the majority of church leaders are not born again or remain carnal. They don’t know who they are in Christ and/or do the pakaryan setan awake dhewe.
Dheweke ora duwe pikiran Kristus, nanging wong-wong iku atine lan mikir kaya donya. Mulane padha martakake pesen sing padha karo sing diwartakake ing jagad iki, that focus on the soul and body (daging) and the natural life, rather than the spirit and the spiritual life.
Senajan padha ngerti Kitab Suci lan Kitab Suci, padha ora nindakake lan ora urip miturut karsane Gusti Allah. Dheweke ora duwe hubungan pribadi karo Yesus Kristus lan ora duwe wawasan spiritual lan kawicaksanan lan kawruh babagan Kratoning Allah..
Dheweke ora kenal karo perang spiritual. Saiki, carane sampeyan bisa pass ing soko yen sampeyan ora ngerti, duwe utawa ndeleng dhewe?
Gusti Yesus ngandika bab Iblis lan pakaryane
From the Book of Genesis until the Book of Revelations, the devil and his works are mentioned. Akèh wong ing Alkitab ngomongké bab Iblis lan penggawéné. Nanging ana siji Wong khusus, sing paling ngomong bab setan, his works and hell. That Person is Jesus Christ.
Jesus not only spoke about the Kingdom of God and not only revealed the Kingdom of God to God’s people, nanging Gusti Yésus uga ngomong blaka bab Iblis, his works, and hell and revealed his kingdom to God’s people.
Kowe kok ora ngerti omonganku? Malah amarga sampeyan ora bisa ngrungokake pangandikaningSun. Kowe kuwi saka bapakmu, Iblis, lan pepénginané bapakmu bakal koklakoni. Dheweke dadi tukang mateni wiwit wiwitan, lan ora manggon ing bebener, amarga ora ana bebener ing dheweke. Nalika dheweke ngomong goroh, kang ngandika saka dhewe: awit wong iku goroh, lan rama iku (John 8:43-44).
Malah sawise Gusti Yesus pati lan tangi lan Kang minggah, Gusti Yesus ngandika liwat Roh Suci marang Gréja bab Iblis lan karya.
Nalika Gusti Yesus ngatingal marang Yohanes ing pulo Patmos (95/96 ad), Dheweke isih ngomong babagan setan, His works, lan neraka.
Although Jesus defeated the devil and took kunci saka pati lan neraka, Iblis lan kerajaane isih ana. Iblis isih mlaku-mlaku kaya singa nggero, Nggolek, sing bisa dipangan.
Is the devil defeated?
Argumentasi yen Iblis wis dikalahake lan mulane kita ora kudu nglawan Iblis lan tentarane (Dhemit), ora kabeh bebener, but is partially true. Mulane, it is a lie.
Because if the devil and demons wouldn’t be present and active anymore, banjur Gusti Yesus ora bakal ngandika bab Iblis. But as long as the devil and demons are not thrown into the eternal lake of fire, padha mlaku-mlaku kaya singa nggero, nggoleki sapa sing bisa nyerang lan numpes
The sons and daughters of God speak the whole truth
Wiji iku pangandikane Gusti Allah. Sing ana ing pinggir dalan yaiku sing krungu; banjur rawuh setan, lan njupuk tembung metu saka atiné, supaya padha precaya lan slamet (Lukas 8:12)
Iblis isih nggunakake seni godaan sing padha karo sing digunakake ing Kitab Suci. Dheweke isih nyebar keraguan, kuwatir, wedi, kuwatir lsp. He still tries to seduce Christians through carnal doctrines of man and piwulang setan sing njalari wong-wong mau padha mangu-mangu marang pangandikané Allah lan nyimpang saka kersané, Dalane, lan kayektèné. Dadi ngono, the people don’t stay on the dalane Gusti Allah, nanging lumebu ing dalaning ula.
Putra lan putri Gusti Allah, who are representatives of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God, should walk in His will, Kang bener, and His way and not enter sideways. Ora ketompo carane apik lan janjeni iki miring bisa katon.
Padha kudu tetep ing Sabda lan martakaké tembung lan bebener saka Gusti Yesus Kristus.
Tinimbang dadi bagian saka karya pepeteng, wong-wong mau bakal miyak panggawéné pepeteng. They shall not stay silent about the truth, Nanging wong-wong mau bakal ngomong kanthi kendel bab Iblis lan panggawéné pepeteng lan nggawa wong-wong mau menyang pepadhang, kaya sing ditindakake Gusti Yesus.
Nanging anggere Gréja tetep bisu bab Iblis lan karya, wong bakal tetep bodho lan Iblis bisa nerusake karya ngrusak ing bumi.
