(I might make myself an enemy to some, but no one really has it out for me, that I know of.)<BR/><BR/>But there is something here, after all, something latent. We Christians do have an enemy. I know that there are certain places where it talks about being delivered over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh. I wonder if the Lord doesn't literally deliver us into the enemy's hand sometimes, (who says it's all "contest", and none of it falls under the category of "chastening"?) to help us see the folly of our ways?<BR/><BR/>Which should lead me back to the question, What should I be learning from this?Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727231225130244842noreply@blogger.com
