Well, meaning that they might appear to lead to edification, but try this; answer both Qs in every combo of yes and no, and see if anything comes of any combo. I can't find a combo that would lead to any diff in my walk?
OK. I guess.
Combo 1:
Will Satan think he was victorious if he over half of humanity ends up in the lake of fire with him? Yes.
Will God think He was victorious if a few are able to find the way of salvation? Yes.
So, they both claim victory. I guess we'll need impartial arbitration.
Combo 2:
Will Satan think he was victorious if he over half of humanity ends up in the lake of fire with him? Yes.
Will God think He was victorious if a few are able to find the way of salvation? No.
In this combination, God admits defeat. He lost most of humanity to Satan, so can you blame Him? Can't blames Satan for thinking he won, either.
Combo 3:
Will Satan think he was victorious if he over half of humanity ends up in the lake of fire with him? No.
Will God think He was victorious if a few are able to find the way of salvation? Yes.
This is probably the combo that most AFFers would claim is correct. God gets the victory, and Satan loses. This is the combination that I'd like some discussion on, since it seems hard to justify. The loser gets the most souls, and the winner only gets a few?
Combo 4:
Will Satan think he was victorious if he over half of humanity ends up in the lake of fire with him? No.
Will God think He was victorious if a few are able to find the way of salvation? No.
A lose/lose situation. Maybe Satan wanted all of us. Maybe God is disappointed in His results. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. Found and saved a few of us, but, again, you can't blame Him for wishing He could have found and saved a lot more. Does He regret making that "way" so narrow that few can find it?

(Note that if we count abortions and miscarriages, and young children who died, the outlook is a lot different. The vast majority of souls in the afterlife will be in heaven, since way more people have died in the womb than have been born. And then there are the babies and young children to add in.)

Hey, count them all, divide by two (God and satan)
pick an answer--and what do you have?
A better way to ask this might be
"How will your walk change if it's combo X instead of combo 3?"

I know this smilie has been overworked lately, but I can't help it.

Well, I find that to be an apropos expression for any combo, unless you can answer the Q. If it is combo 4 rather than 3, how is Unregistered affected?

OK, fine. The answer to that question is: not at all.

But Satan is scared of Armageddon, well, if this is true, and I haven't seen any doc against this yet, well, this has changed me already? Now, I'm no longer running from Armageddon, scared of hell, putting up beans, like a lost person; I am running to Armageddon, which I see right out my front door, hang on...k, that was easy, you usually just have to stand there with a neutral look on your face--they run. Changes your whole premise, and illuminates theirs. Hmm, and nobody even asked me if I had "the initial evidence of speaking in tongues," that just didn't come up at all.
Cue the cricket--I don't know how, lol.
I got a total of one (1) "answer" to this thread; "I don't know if he's scared of Armageddon..."
and I don't expect any more, so do your best, lol.

You got a couple other answers, too. I have zero answers to my two.
