Satan is mentioned in the new testament several times, by name, and is the major character in one of the most important stories (where jesus is tempted in the desert by him for 40 days).
jesus' miraculous claim to fame (other than surviving execution) is that he cast out demons from people, and even talked to demons (jesus was basically a travelling exorcist).
What I'm saying is that christcucks must *literally* accept the existence of Satan and demons or they cannot be christians by definition.
>called Satan by name >"i-it was just a parable! but those other miracles that i like were real!"
so much denial
Charles Martin
AND?
Mason Scott
Eh?
Eli Hughes
WHAT IS YOUR "POINT"?
Luis Myers
sounds like a Job
Carter Carter
And anyone that accepts the existence of Satan and demons has a mental illness.
Camden Ramirez
I was querying why you replied to OP with "AND?".
Jeremiah Baker
What he means is he believes in Satan because he turned into a christcuck.
Oliver Roberts
OP is a retard.
Levi Green
How so?
Liam Phillips
He doesn't know that Christians literally accept being of satan, angels and demons as creatures of God. Ignorant retard.
Brayden Johnson
But that's literally what he said?
James Myers
PLz moot2 make a fucking /rel/ for fucks sake
Austin Miller
He tried to "accuse" Christians that they don't accept it, as they should. Also, hi OPie.

>Most American Christians Do Not Believe that Satan or the Holy Spirit Exist
>Four out of ten Christians (40%) strongly agreed that Satan “is not a living being but is a symbol of evil.” An additional two out of ten Christians (19%) said they “agree somewhat” with that perspective. A minority of Christians indicated that they believe Satan is real by disagreeing with the statement: one-quarter (26%) disagreed strongly and about one-tenth (9%) disagreed somewhat. The remaining 8% were not sure what they believe about the existence of Satan.
So what? Are you trying to tell me that there are people who do not accept Christian doctrine yet call themselves Christians? Obviously, they are not Christians then.

No shit

>“agree somewhat” It's like saying "yeah I somewhat agree that God exist. What? Oh yes, I'm Christian".

>not believing in Holy Spirit wat. Did they read Bible.

They're not real Christians. They just say they are to seem good or religious or don't want to be left out. Or maybe they haven't read the bible or don't understand? It could be lots of things

>trying various pagan practices >thinking it's the same result as hesychasm poor man, blinded with ecumenical heresy.
Jason Clark
A book filled with fallacies and entirely based on faith and you pick Satan of all things to harp on?

You're 500 years too late, son.

Which one of the 66 books you're talking about? And logic was not defined in the periods when any of them were written.
Jaxon Thomas
I'm not sure about that OP.
In Hebrew, Satan means enemy or adversary - it's not a literal name, like 'Derrick' for example. Not so much a narrowly defined being.
Colton Gonzalez
Read book of Job - Satan is a real enemy, that walks and talks in time and some spiritual space before God.
Noah Lopez
Not even christian but Satan just means enemy.
Levi Rodriguez
I'm not so sure.
In the book of Job, Satan would just as equally mean "The Accuser" than anything else. It would make sense for the angel who was doing the accusing to be called "The Accuser", and is hardly proof that this is then 'Satan'.
Oliver Hernandez
Allowing plebs to "read" the Bible was a mistake.
Julian Lewis
It's true. Satan is a real thing. There are other "satans" or enemies that attack I'm not sure if they can accuse you to God except Satan himself or other high ranking "Devils"
Landon Gomez

Hudson Gomez
Job is essentially a poem exploring the nature of faith in God and the problem of evil. There's no particular reason to think the author intended it to be taken literally.
Nicholas Martin
Is there anything literal in the bible?
Levi Butler
To be honest I hold the same view - I was just playing Devil's Advocate in arguing that it could very well just be a matter of linguistics than pointing to the existence of the being named "Satan".
Anthony Wilson
That's the whole point of the bible. People have to understand which parts are metaphors and which is real. Job is a real story although.
I like your point. It's the same as with Antichrist: there are various antichrists through history besides that final Antichrist who'll come before the Final Judgement.
Jaxson Hernandez
Interesting read. Is there any biblical insight from where they got this? Or was it just a personal experience that they encountered and wrote down?
Jose Hughes
Who is there to tell? Jesus say nothing about Job.
Also: Several texts from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt offer parallels to Job, and while it is impossible to tell whether the author of Job was influenced by any of them, their existence suggests that he was the recipient of a long tradition of reflection on the existence of inexplicable suffering.
Jesus doesn't say anything about a lot of prophets or people but he does speak with Job and has a dialogue with him. Job is just an example of everyone's suffering but it still happend to him
Lincoln Ortiz
He says about Prophets and Law of Moses holding up until end of times.
Job is not from prophets - it's rather poetic work. It doesn't even any known author.
Adrian Morales
Ezekiel thought Job was a real person though
Bentley Martinez
Of course demons exist, demons are just angels that sided with sataniel in his rebellion against the father. Miracles are caused by the intercession of God and spirits what's to say if sataniel was the greatest of all angels that he cannot interecede in modern lives
Mason Bell
The reason you can't talk to gods and spirits is because it's illegal and you will be called schizophrenic and pumped full of drugs until your brain chemistry resembles all the other sheep-like goyim.
School, television, your brainwadhed parents, friends, siblings and all other forms of media have conditioned and trained your mind since you were an infant to view the world from a conformed slave morality perspective like the sheep you are. You are living in a perpetual state of thought control where you can't discern a pot made of clay from one made of gold. Human wisdom is foolishness.
None of you can get into the minds of the ancients. None of you will ever fully understand the mysteries which the ancients wrote down. You are all sheep and your bickering and failure to see outside of your thought conditioned box is laughable. You speak from a western perspective only, speaking a language meant for taking and giving orders, not a poetic language such as ancient Hebrew which has more poetry, philosophy, euphemisms and logic in one sentence than entire books written in English.
Submit to God's authority if you want true wisdom and revelations. You are like the child who has learnt to stand for the first time but does not know you can run, drive, sail and fly also.
