I not only address whom satan or the devil is in this book, but I also address what hell is as well. But, not only; for, I also delve into the origin of evil itself. Where did it and darkness come from? Did evil just pop-up someplace unexpected one day in the Garden of Eden - for, suddenly, in chapter 3 therein, we see the serpent appear, but with no mention of where he had come from! Why is there no true origin of him found in the first few chapters of Genesis? How come we cannot even find a descriptive creation of hell? . . . Etc!All Rights Reserved

Reality (Issue 1): In the Beginning by AnDraw_Official

I believe every story starts with a question. The first book of my fantasy series is no exception. My question is this-how was the universe made? Well, certainly not like this... ---------------------------------------------------- *Disclaimer* This story is rated as Mature, however, with the help of God, I try to keep everything as appropriate as possible. It is my goal to provide entertainment that does not have pornographic or strongly sexualized illustrations, crudeness, horror, as in gore or other unpleasant themes, or romanticized crime.

Journey: Into The Never-ending Way by fellow1945

Why does one travel from a well known neighborhood to another where the outcome of the visit is not yet understood? I could name the streets and places in my neighborhood. There was a well defined map in my head that used comfortable explanations for what to expect. Then, everything changed. I drove up the hill, parked the car in a familiar place. When I walked into the house all the furniture was the same. Yet, when I sat beside him everything I knew went away. My mind was empty, only able to engage in superficial talk. I was afraid of his cancer. I didn't know what to say or how to help. I was lost in the whole sorry business. I gave him what comfort my presence was good for and, he gracefully accepted it like a brother would. Behind the warmest smile I could draw up was a deserted beach, waves of questions washing against my feet. A great ocean met the horizon and disappeared somewhere beyond where eyes could take a mind. Where would the questions take me? Where do you start such a quest?

Finding Christmas by ellemoira

(Completed) Earlier this year, a pandemic crippled the world... December 1 The earthquake hit. December 3 The waters came and the flood overpowered us. My younger brother and sister cry for our parents on the other side of the world. The only consolation I have is "Christmas is coming." My younger sister asked me how we could celebrate Christmas with nothing. I had no answer except, "We'll find a way." *** 2020 brought many unexpected things. The unexpected bad and the unexpected good. With the year coming to a close, I want to dedicate this story to the front-liners, to those living away from family, to the Filipinos affected by the recent typhoons and flood, and to my grandparents who have survived through so much and thrived through it all. Christmas time is the time to be reminded of HOPE, the hope that comes in Jesus' promised birth and life to live, PEACE, the peace that comes from the Prince of Peace alone, JOY, the joy that comes from a fresh start, a new beginning and the birth of a baby (Luke 2:5-7) and LOVE, the love that sent a King down on earth to be a baby so that He could experience life before He'd give His life for us so that we could live with Him (John 3:16) (Not edited. Thanks for reading:)

The Book of Genesis (NIV) by Sumtinkwong

I've decided to do a long term project of writing the New International Version of the Christian Bible in its entirety here on Wattpad to get the Christian message across. God is good and he created us in His image. Every problem you face in your life, no matter what that problem is, there is always an answer somewhere in the Christian Bible. How can I start anywhere else other than where it all began? Ladies and gentlemen, here are all 50 chapters of the Book of Genesis as written in the New International Version of the Christian Bible. The other books shall be published shortly. I hope you all enjoy and God bless every single one of you! :)

lucifer's monólogue by alejandr1994

lucifer's monologue, focuses on a story long before the genesis and the creation of humanity, according to Christian ideology. but this story is nothing like you have told us so far, as this is the version of lucifer, the villain and the great tyrant of the Bible, which, comes to tell his version of events, from the beginning, even as he was banished to inferno. Here lucifer tells us how it all started, why a lot of our questions, or rather because a lot of the holes found in the biblical version of the dispute between him and the supreme power he had at the time, and we It gives another perspective on the big picture. Who is the villain and who is the hero? Or is there really a villain or a hero ?, are these questions, we will take all this intrigue plot, but ultimately it is the reader's opinion which will decide the answer. and eventhough the story is narrated by lucifer, iconic characters, like, astaroth, satan, Mannon, leviathan, among others ... form a fundamental part in the development and the outcome of it. the hehcos are located mainly in the infamous city of Zion, but yet unknown land inferno and mother also take a lot of influence in history. many stories are seeking boast a good protagonist does not matter if it's good or bad, but this is clearly not that kind of story, empathy you can possibly have for any of the characters is just personal opinion, because none of them looking to impress no one, not even Lucifer himself, this being his own story, just come to have a frivolous version of a trascedendental done. This is a completely fictional story, where we find a lot of references and names that may seem familiar to us are just more characters and situations that give life and substance to it. Are you ready to know the other side of the coin ?.

Augmentation 2 by eddiechang24

Before anything was created, there was darkness and from that darkness came light. But who could have created that light, and why hasn't a god shown up yet. So many questions unsolved, so many religions to cover but who could possibly be the one watching us. Will they show up one day? Will they save us all? Or will they destroy their own creation?

How I Found God by AndreaMaquelviski

Through this work Andréa Maquelviski shows that when you decide to enter the path of God, your self-knowledge automatically begins, awakening your conscience even more. God offers full self-knowledge that you won't find anywhere else. The abandonment of your old self and the beginning of a new road in search of the One who has always been, is and will be with you eternally. We just need to awaken and enter the path is awakening. Bon voyage! How I Found God is a personal account of the trajectory of the search and encounter with God, however, much more than talking about religion, it is going beyond. To go beyond yourself is to find yourself in God. A search, a path, an encounter, a reunion and a rebirth. It is the certainty of correct choices, of self-knowledge without makeup, masks or magic formulas. It is the achievement of walking that leads to the transcendental. That starts with simple everyday choices that will lead you to chaos or raise your level of consciousness, making you understand who you really are and who God is. Resignations, questions, doubts, problems, everyone knows that this is part of the path, it is the necessary polishing for an encounter with yourself and God, there is no way to escape this, unless you want to close your eyes and let your life pass by. in blank. It is when you and God merge into one heart, free from prejudices, ties, judgments, anything or thought that spoils this union. For God, there is no color or race, nothing, that cannot reach Him. His merciful heart welcomes ALL those who desire a sincere encounter with Him. This is more than a calling, it is an invitation to love!
