    Devil came from heaven, Christ also came from heaven The Devil knew God as an arch angel before his falling, Christ also knew God, His Father. Then how, that arch angel became the devil and Christ became the saviour?

    Many claim to have known God but living a life controlled by demons and devil with the attitude of devil. Many may say, no we are not like devil- but Jesus even called Pharisees and the religious people who claim to be God’s children- children of devil (John 8:44) Why does He say that? Because ...read more

    What kind of fire is Jesus talking about? Is this the fire of judgment? The fire of hell? The fire of destruction? I don't believe so. This is the fire of purification, the fire of truth, the fire that burns away what is false so that what is true can shine forth.
