Actually, the WTS teaches that it isn't until the end of the 1,000 reign that Satan and his followers are all destroyed. From then on the WTS teaches that anyone who disobeys "God" will be instantly destroyed. Based on that, it seems that the WTS doesn't teach that Satan is proved wrong until then.
Blondie
I believe Blondie makes a very good point the final judgment is when the Axe falls
and that's way down the road .I think to make any predictions and judgments now is like
"calling a horse race winner half-way to the to the finish line " We simply can't comprehend the long term outcome .I think the point Blondie is making is don't short
change God in his long term purpose
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Isa 55:8 ΒΆ For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isa 55:9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts
Fear motivates many religious people to serve their gods. It's only when you have the freedom to make good decisions and not make them motivated by fear, that you can choose to make good decisions out of love. This is one reason I know the Universalist way of looking at the world makes the most sense. And universalism includes every intelligent being and gives them the credit to eventually come to the right decisions out of love. It also includes all belief systems as ways to God..... FHN
"The power of love" is the whole bases of God's purpose
Never may bitterness, hurt or frustration blind us or destroy our hope.
The tools that God has given...... Faith-Hope-Love is still the ultimate answer !
To see the ultimate eternal purpose of God is difficult for our short lives but faith, hope
love shall always "empower " your heart to face all things even which are now present.
God still reaches out his hands in gesture of love and compassion for us ... In such
Scriptures above ......Can you not see this ?
My understanding is that God will grant us freedom within the framework of a few common
sense restrictions.. not unlike you as loving father to your child.
