It's Chronicles. Anyway, there are many reasons why I'm not going to get into the theology of Satan in the Old Testament, but you have to start with Job. Job is the only place in the Old Testament where Satan says anything.

He also appears in Psalms, Zechariah and Chronicles (though it may be Kings, for obvious reasons I sometimes confuse the two). He is also a recurring figure in the Talmud. It is certainly open to interpretation. However, I do believe the generalization of presenting the Jewish depiction of Satan as a DA in opposition the Christian depiction of Satan as dualistic oppposition to God is fairly correct. Touching on the theological implications, a large number of Jews espouse the belief that Satan is an allegory, an embodiment of temptation. I've heard the idea that Satan was a "dark side" of God before, but I personally do not give it much stock. It just doesn't fit well with internal and external evidences. The "loyal opposition" tack I've come to believe as the most likely, as this fits well with the implications of Job and explicit references in midrash (as well as ancient regional religious trends).

I got asked once why I became a Christian?

Considering I was a buddhist, pagan,
and into wicca.

I Was told as a buddhist that the scroll I
was recieving, was "exremely sacred"
I think it got thrown away, at sometime?
Bad karma was to come for not holding it
sacred.

I brought upon myself the only bad or rough
things in my life all by myself.

I read into the Bible where it talked about
what hell was like.
Nashing of teeth 24/7 I just didn't want
to go to my grave knowing I was wrong for not believing.

If it is the Other way and I'm wrong for believing
so Be it.

I believe You can be a true Christian and be into Bdsm.

It's like 2 elephants making love they just
know it's right...

Ant,

Crikey .....having a Master is a lot like gnashing my teeth 24/7......for someone that really doesn't like being told what to do, I sure chose a strange life...lol...

Maybe I'm just a perverse individual and chose *Hell on Earth*, instead of *Heaven on Earth*

Energy has no ending.. it just changes form.. Thus the ending of days is a illusion.... As for what happens to you when you die.. I will tell you all if I can make it back after I am gone..lol

There is one unique "religion" for every person alive. Some may think they are all of the same faith or belief system but that's an illusion. Even those who hold to no particular religion at least have some construct by which they understand the world in which they live. None of the religions or constructs are true...not because they are false...but because they are all interpretations of something that at best can be called the infinite unknown.

Realizing this was my "End of Days."

Yes, but it's pretty irrelevent if you have no form of consciousness after you're dead. For all intents and purposes existence and the universe cease to be.
