Answer 3

Dios es la regla suprema del mundo.

---

God is the supreme ruler of the world.

According to the Bible until Jesus returns and establishes his heavenly kingdom here on Earth Satan is the Ruler of this world. That is why Satan tempted Jesus offering him rule over all of the Earth's kingdoms. They were his to trade. - 0074b507, Mar 12, 2011

Matthew 4:1, 8-10:The Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him: 'All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.' - Rolest, Mar 12, 2011

Then Jesus said to him: 'Go away, Satan!'" - Rolest, Mar 12, 2011

And Satan was all like " :P " - rabbitwho, Mar 12, 2011

The Bible speaks of two kinds of "worlds." One is positive (the stage on which we experience our salvation) and one is negaive (the 'spirit of the world' and its major influence on secular institutions). God rules the first realm. - Maria-Russell, Mar 12, 2011

("God so loved the world"...[John 3;15] ) but the "Prince of Darkness rules the second. ("The God of this world" [2Corinthians 4:4] ). - Maria-Russell, Mar 12, 2011

God is the ultimate ruler of both worlds, though, because the Prince of Darkness rules the institutions only because God allows it. - Maria-Russell, Mar 12, 2011

Well said Maria-Russell! - Rolest, Mar 12, 2011

Interesting!:) - Deanski, Mar 12, 2011
