Because though God rules supreme the devil is the prince of this world
and until God sends final judgement against him . .


If God is ruling supreme, *why* is the devil the prince of this world? Are they in cahoots? If not, then what is the explanation for why a supreme (all-knowing and all-powerful and morally perfect) God lets a world he created be ruled by an evil prince. For that matter, why is there even a devil at all?

Others have asked you how you are certain your beliefs are true and I don't see that you've answered that. But I'm asking something else here - given that you believe what you do, do you think about the obvious conflict within your beliefs i.e. the age-old problem of evil question? How do you answer it? It can be stated many ways and is a real barrier to religious belief to many. If you are serious about witnessing to people, you need to deal with it IMO.
