Satan has his demons , and they enter people...
We wear our armor to protect ourselves from such things , from the fiery darts that are thrown as us...
Satan maybe in one place at one time , but his army of demons are every where...
Let us praise God for His protection , that we are no longer a child of the evil one , but a child of GOD most High...
Thank You Jesus for saving us from that hand of the evil one Amen...

Job is LITERAL? So God has an actual hedge around Job, I wonder if it is a tall one, probably very green and leafy. 
Or do you mean some is literal and some is not?
Satan roams the earth.......place to place........so that means you believe Satan has an attribute that only God has (omnipresence)?
So God was having this get-together and Satan shows up to mock God......the Creator of that old dragon.
There is a lot of wisdom in Job but it is still allegory. Like Pilgrim's Progress has great truths in an allegory tale.
By what standard do you judge a book to be literal or allegory?
And what do you use to know the differences in Revelation between literal, symbolic or allegory?
Maybe you haven't thought about the differences.
I just want to know what your thinking is.

To me it is adding to scripture to say that God cancelled all holy days. It was added as a doctrine at the Nicene Council. These days were given to us by the Lord, the Lord tells us so in scripture. There is no scripture saying they are cancelled, that is added to scripture, saying they are only Jewish customs we are not obliged to follow. To say holy days are all cancelled is adding to scripture something that is not there.
You are adding to scripture when you say that when the Lord gave the old covenants the holy days were including in those covenants.
I think it is certain that all scripture is God inspired and truth. I also feel certain that God does not change, God is the same from Genesis to Revelation. No scripture disagrees with any other scripture. That means that the old covenant is scripture from the Lord, and the new covenant is an improvement on that making some things in the old covenant obsolete and of no use to us any more. God didn't change His mind about anything, God is always the same. It is up to us to find the things in the old covenant that are of no use to us any more, like the hard and fast rules being made obsolete by the new way of communicating with us about the laws of the Lord. Now, we know the law of love tops any rule. That is not cancelling anything, but making understanding law better.
When we go to live with the Lord we will know with certainty.

Maybe it would help to identify what parts of the law Jesus fulfilled? Especially with his sacrifice as the last unblemished lamb on the sin altar/cross.
Dual covenant theologies teach the old testament and God's law applies to Jews only. Some Christians, as we know, don't believe any part of God's law applies today. Which leads us to the ten commands that are God's law. And that God told us, in the new testament, he has written his laws on our hearts so that we would not be separated from them.
If they no longer apply God erred in that writing.
Jeremiah 31:33 "This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Hebrews 8:10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the LORD. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
The first converts to what today is still called, Christianity, were Jews.
Galatians 3:26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

except for the ones He broke
For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2Cor 5:21
The Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is He. Deut 32:7
This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. 1John 1:5

Isaiah 45:7
I am[a] the one who forms light
and creates darkness;[b]
the one who brings about peace
and creates calamity.[c]
I am the Lord, who accomplishes all these things.
1. God permits satan to tempt and mess with believers. Go to Revelation when satan throws the believers into prison for 10 days but Jesus said to endure to the end. What you've written is not truth, it's conjecture.
2. Those of us who are born again are given a new nature. We become "born of God." We go to the grave with Jesus and rise as new creations. We are still able to sin or God would not have given us 1John 1:9. What you've written here is also not right.
3. ??? Temptations to sin will come but woe to him... What you've written here is also wrong.
4. ??? The flesh is weak; see 1 John 1:9 as well. What you've written here is also wrong.
Someone else has already posted Scripture references to disprove your theories so I won't duplicate the effort.
I suggest you misunderstand 1 John 1:9 Verses 1 through 3 tell us those points being revealed are the objects of the teaching not the subject. (see footnote a ). Which means, this is a teaching to those who are not yet in Christ and are therein sinners who sin and as such are condemned. 5.Now[l] this is the gospel[m] message[n] we have heard from him[o] and announce to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.[p] 6 If we say we have fellowship with him and yet keep on walking[q] in the darkness, we are lying and not practicing[r] the truth.
God bless you.
No, above you said "except the ones He broke" to break a law = sin. You said Jesus sinned by saying "except the ones He broke."
Breaking the law is sin; you said He sinned by saying "except the ones He broke."
I answer to God; God is my judge and Him to whom I answer. Acts 5:29: We must obey God not men.
I haven't condemned anyone. I gave truth where truth was missing. I have exposed heresy where heresy was posted. You'd be wise to do the same. Always endure sound doctrine.
To God alone be glory.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:1
7But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 1 John 3:9
We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 1 John 5:18
There is a difference between sinning once / falling into sin opposed to persisting in sin as noted above. We are fully able to sin after being born again which is why 1 John 1:9 was written.

The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God; Holy Scripture; that which defeats satan as evidenced by Jesus' trials in the wilderness when He was led out by the Spirit to be tempted. The Word of God defeats the devil.
The full armor of God is for His saints. Here, now, on earth.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
satan prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour.
It's rhetorical, but how can satan flee from you if he's not there? And how can he prowl around like a roaring lion to see whom he can devour if he's not there? And how can he be roaming the earth to and fro if he's not there?
Just admit you made a mistake and we can move on.
