Debate Is Closed!

When you know God's Word, the debate (argument) is CLOSED!

The devil can tell you something but if you know the Word, you can go, "Wait a minute, but it says this in 'God's Word'(the Bible), so that can't be true because it's not agreeing with 'God's Word' and His Word is the truth! And by the devil I mean in your mind or another person. One thing I have to remember is the devil is going to find somebody to be the carrier of dissension and hate and of lies. I have to pray that it won't be me!

2 Corinthians 10:5 refute arguments and theories and reasoning's and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God; and lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

John 8:44 "You belong to your Father, the devil. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood by the truth, since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks in character,for he is a liar and the father of lies."

When you do this, you are refuting arguments and theories against the truth! You are proving others' arguments and theories to be false because you are comparing them with the truth. Basically, you are comparing a theory (which is someones' speculation). You are comparing it with the truth,the Bible,God's Word.

refute is- to prove to be false.

theory- speculation; general idea; a notion.

argument is- a reason offered in proof for or against a thing.

Now if you don't know for sure about something, you look it up in the Bible and ask God to show you. And eventually, after you do this several times you know what God's thoughts are on the matter. This is why in His Word He asks you to know His Word and have it in your heart. You are not always going to have 'the physical presence' of the Word (the Bible) on you so when something comes up like a new theory being thrown at you or someone reasons to you why you should or should not do something, you can compare it with what the 'Holy Spirit' has laid on your heart. Believe it or not, the 'Holy Spirit' helps you remember things (the truth
) when you need to remember it.People in the Bible days didn't have a 'book' to refer to. They had to learn and remember (put it on their hearts) then they were able to put it into action when the time came.

Because when you know God's Word, the debate (argument) is CLOSED!
