How is highlighting your misunderstanding of Jesus's central message forcing his belief on you?

Either argue your case or go hide under your blanket.

Highlighting a child of Satan's belief about how I misunderstand Jesus' message?

What use would that serve?

Why are people who disagree with you always the "child" of Satan, and never the adult of Satan?

There are two groups that are easily determined to be Children of Satan

The first group is the most ibvious, those who deny that Jesus is the Son of God and is the only way to salvation.

The second group who claim to be Christian but hold obviously beliefs that are not in line with what describes God and sin.

Am I therefore a "child of satan" in your opinion?

From your obvious negative attitude toward anyone else's understanding of the Bible, you could be a member of the "Man of lawlessness class".
(2 Thessalonians 2:3) Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.
Are you? What is your real viewpoint?

Do you have a positive openness to anyone else's view of the bible?
Who is not a JW that is.

Please be specific so we can explore any claim you make.
Thanks.

I am totally open to the Bible's view!

I find the truth in the Bible.
That's why I quote the Bible primarily.
Although sometimes I miss the mark.
Jw's are not perfect nor are we prophets.
The Bible says no one is perfect but love covers a multitude of error.
Also, probably in opposition to your way of thinking, we do not prophesy.
We do study the Bible and relate the prophesies that are recorded there.
As Christians, it is our responsibility to do that.
Now, honestly, what do you think?

I haven't really seen you make a comment about anything other than to complain about other people.

What is your view on Gay marriage in the context of your religious views?

Perhaps you didn't understand my question. You accused me of not being open to anyone else's bible view, so I asked you this:

And you reply with:

What on earth are you talking about? I am asking you if you are open to anyone else's (who is a non JW) bible view?

Are you going to answer?

Will my response to this mean I'm either a child of Satan, or not a child of Satan, depending on whether my view fits with yours?

Wrong answer would mean child of Satan, right answer just means you might not be.

What a frightening Christian existence you have; everywhere demons, and satanists, and all because they disagree with your POV.

They are children of Satan because they disagree with God.

I'm fine with that. It isn't between me and anyone but God. Same goes with all others. I feel sorry for you if you disagree with God.

You have scripture that can specifically back up this claim?
