This article is to big to quote. Beside of that it becomes unreadeble without the propper formatting.

I'd forgotten Origen believed in the restoration of even demons and satan . . . I wonder if it wasn't from passages like . . .

Phillipians 2
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
   and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
   in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
   to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 5
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

   "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
   be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!"

hmmmm . . .makes a wonder . . .is the cross powerful enough to reconcile even evil spirits back to God . . .it would explain why Jesus didn't show more contempt toward the spirits he confronted.  He even allowed the legion to go into the herd of pigs . . . a form of compassion?  If they were as evil and terrible to have running around in this realm, you'd think he'd have thrown them in the abyss without mercy regardless of their fear of going there and their request to go into the pigs.  Once they caused the pigs to drown . . ."then" where'd they go?  Back to attacking people?  or could it be the only way they got into people was by way of invitation as well????  I often wondered why Jesus seemed to show compassion on these critters . . .another mystery, imagine that.

I like this article though WW.  Thanks for posting it.

[micah7:9]

The orthodox religious and christian teaching theory  of the adversary(opposer) the accuser, the dragon(the old serpent) has been built upon the words and descriptions of religious leaders of promanace and stature. The believer in Jesus Christ wrestles and wars against the world(kosmos) of what the imaginations of religion has offered up, to keep control of souls.

Those who control the "churchs" I say that with a great deal of contempt for the use a chruch for the means of mens greed. They cannot or will not accept the words of Paul wo wrote..
1Ti 2:3  for this is right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
1Ti 2:4  who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

Selah

So not only will all men be saved, but they will also come into the FULL knowledge of the truth . . . that's something to celebrate in and of itself!!

^YLTCol 1
