You were putting sonship on the spot, but as soon as I put you on the spot you disappeared.

If I did think so would you prosecute me for thought crimes?
Originally posted by @dj2beckerI have spent countless hours talking to divegeester about my loss of faith, the Christian God, who or what "Satan" is. I know what his thinking is. And I don't have a problem with his beliefs, so I don't need to put him on the spot. Countless hours, mind you. He and I have no need to reenact those conversations for your consumption.
You don't seem to have a problem with Dive's unwillingness to answer now do you? Why would that be?
Maybe he's treating you like a jerk because he thinks you are a jerk. He's told you very candidly, several times, that he thinks you are one. So why are you mewling to me about the upshot of that, instead of answering the question I asked you: Do you think I am a follower of "Satan"?
Originally posted by @fmfI asked Divegeester the question. He dodged it. You don't seem to mind that.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerOK, you repeated yourself and ignored what I said. So, anyway, do you think I am a follower of "Satan"?

Anyone who wants to live independently from God is a follower of Satan.
Satan was the first creature that ever sought to be independent from God.
Satan's nature polluted all people born from Adam down to us. So mankind totally was damaged by the withdrawal and independence from God.
Some people may want to dwell on this but more emphasis should be given on the One life that was totally and completely dependent upon God - Jesus Christ. He is the source of salvation.
