Struck down but not destroyed

I believe that just as the enemy can be flourishing and destroyed in a moment, so too the children of God can be struck down and rise again.

Christianity is not simple. Consider Revelation, Jesus has so many different things to mention. The Nicolaitions who sprung from or perverted the teachings of nicloais one of the seven. There is the false prophetess who teaches to eat food to idols then there is the balaam who does it in a different manner, then there is the dead church that appears alive and then there are several synagougues of Satan that Jesus says are disturbing the churches but will have to acknowledge that Jesus has loved them. Jesus has nothing to say to the world but it says he loved the church at leodicea which was luke warm "those I love I rebuke and chasten" But there are some churches which JEsus does not love called synagougues of satan.

Appearances are so deceptive and it is what JEsus warned about to his disciples. I have more thoughts. but I have to go now so Ill post again.

one more thought is that the more diverse opinions and practices flourish the closer the real thing is. Satan cannot use nothing. He cannot destroy dead things. THey are dead. The fact that there are so many different things springing up tells me the children of God are scattered and Satan is preverting their influence.
