  " Why do you not understand what I am saying? [It is] because you
cannot hear My word.  You are of [your] father the devil, and you want to
do the desires of your father.

  He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he
speaks from his own [nature;] for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
"  Joh. 8:43,44  ( NASB )

  there are only two kinds of people on earth... those upon whom God
has shown mercy and those upon whom God has not shown mercy. ( Ro. 9:18 )

  ( and, the student of the Bible should realize that Ro. 9:18 defines
two of the seven usage definitions of the Bible word " world, " (
Gk. ' cosmos ' ) as Apostle John uses this word in his writings. 1 Joh.
5:19 for example... " The whole world lies in the Evil one. "
these are those of Ro. 9:18 who have not been shown mercy.

  whereas in Joh. 17:6,  the " world / cosmos " are those upon whom
God has shown mercy... as in Joh. 17:9.

  in Joh. 3:16, the " world / cosmos " are those upon whom God has
shown mercy since they, and they only, believe in Jesus Christ and
therefore know God and have life eternal as in Joh. 17:1-3.

 believing in Jesus Christ is the result of being shown mercy since
believing in Jesus Christ in the salvation sense of the Bible word "
believe " is by appointment only... Acts 13:48  )

                  **************************************************

  the lot of the reprobate is a sad one indeed.  he is forced by Satan
to fulfill the lusts of his flesh ( Eph. 2:1-3. ) this is because his
spiritual nature drives his human nature to do so... he lies in the sexual
embrace of Satan his god ( 1 Joh. 5:19 ) and will do anything his master
dictates he should do... like come to Christian Newsgroups and blaspheme
God in every way Satan can conjure up to blaspheme God.

  attack the authenticity of the Bible; deny Jesus Christ is God
Eternal; there is no God; God is mean; life evolved from nowhere, etc etc.

  all this and more is the direct result of being under the lordship
of Satan... " the whole world lies in the Evil one " 1 Joh.
5:19... and the term " lies in " means " lies in sexual
intercourse with ."

  why then do the same people keep coming back day after day to
Christian Newsgroups to curse God ?  simply because Satan their god drives
them to do so...  these people can not believe ( Joh. 8:43,44 ) they are of
the cosmos world of whom God has not shown mercy. ( Ro. 9:18 )
