nice story but not real.

i take the bible as a whole. it cannot contradict itself. god is always the same and cannot lie. all of mankind has thought that god was more than one person. god, however, has spoken to us through prophets via his spirit and has told us its him, just him, him alone, and he makes everything, even the evil along with the good.

so i believe god and not man and his idolatry and traditional doctrines. you see, im not the one adopting alternatives that dont come from the bible, you are.

the jews were the "satan" that tempted jesus. they wanted a temporal kingdom. they knew jesus was from god. but instead of listent ohim they wanted to use him. when he didnt play their game they went after him with a vengeance, always trying to trick him (read your bible), and eventually killing him.

there is no invisible monster challenge to god. thats a deadly hallucination and a ridiculous notion.

are you gonna excommunicate me? lololololol

i grew up in the church. i am baptised and professed. im a christian no matter what you or i think. deal with it.

how can you call me wrong when you refuse to understand what i am talking about? i know ALLLLL about what you are talking about and it is you who is wrong.

of course satan is real. the question is who and what is satan? well, satan is a description. did you know that jesus called peter "satan"? did that mean that peter was the father of all those jews? rest assured, he did not.

the word "satan" in the greek is not a proper name. there is no one person named satan. satan means "the one who opposes", kind of like how you are opposing me on this forum with your frantic references. but thats ok, i understand perfectly.

same with "devil". that is no entity's proper name. there is no DEVIL. but there certainly is the devil and devils fill the world these days. who and what is a devil? again, the definition of the greek word "diabalos" means a slanderer and false accuser. thats what the jews were constantly doing to jesus, trying to trick him and tempt him and come up with trumped up charges against him. today the whole world follows after the devil, pointing fingers at one another, same as you do yourself if youre not careful to know what youre talking about.

i didnt say the trinity was false, i said it is a complete fabrication, instituted and perpetuated by hundreds, if not thousands, of years of mouthbreathers in charge of "the church". i have been studying the beginnings of what you have faith in - a man made religion - and it is comical how little those people truly knew the creator. some did, to be sure, and there are some great thinkers back there, but politics chose the doctrine, not the spirit. study it, if you dare.

and one last greek word - logos. thats the word translated "word" there in johns gospel. jesus is the word of god clothed in flesh. is he god? is he a spirit? is he an an all-consuming fire? no. not then. not now. not at all.

and there you are heading into the very thing that caused the great schism and ripped the church apart, releasing "satan" to once again have sway over the world. jesus reigned for a thousand years and the world called it the dark ages. side with putrid minds like that? nope. not me. look up the filioque. this is why the eastern church is much closer to the truth than the western church. but neither understand that they are satans pawns now. the jews and their usury and their filthy degeneracy have taken over everything. the beast is the flesh and the jews do it best.

be well.

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
