Yes. This. How can you follow Christ if you're fixated in trying to hunt down Satan? Guess what? Its us and our sin. We need to just embrace Christ and to our best to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly. And to love and worship God, love our neighbors, and care for the "least of these."


No. Satan is not in us. Satan is a real supernatural being that tries to separate us from God. Trying to deny that is directly denying what's written in the Bible. But if we have learned anything from this discussion is that many so called Christians pay lip service to the Bible.


I don’t see you actually using scripture to make your point; you’re just insulting people.


So, I need to Google it for you? Or do you want me to buy you a Bible? Stating facts is not insulting. Here you go:

Fixating on Satan is not critical to A Christian life. It’s not clear from scripture exactly who or what Satan is. No one in this thread said Satan did not exist, just that y’all are being weird and creepy, and if a minister is telling you that perhaps it’s time to reflect.


Hahaha, "minister"...
Regarding Satan, this thread is about him, so I discuss him. Regarding other topics, you have not read the Bible and are not worth engaging with. You have second-hand knowledge of Christianity at best, at worst you are just dabbling.


I have read the Bible many times, but you know what, you do you.


I read that line before. You used it on another thread once you run out of superficial arguments. No one is forcing you to click on these threads.


I haven’t made this statement before. Newsflash: multiple people use the same phrase. Everyone telling you that you need to reflect and stop throwing around insults is doing you a favor. But I suppose we should not throw our pearls to swine- that’s from the Bible! It’s also in the Bible that rebuking a foolish man is a waste of time, but a wise man will listen to good advice. Which kind are you?
