Satan

Satanism isn’t a religion as it is self worship

how does one be an adversary to oneself?

I'm not sure from whence your persistent promotion of satanism comes, however yes, I have thought about it.

The proper noun, Satan, is chief of the fallen spirits.

The foremost hostile opponent of God and everything that is good.

He is also known as Beelzebub, Belial, the devil, Apollyon and Lucifer.

Thankfully he was defeated by Jesus Christ at Calvary.

You will attempt to convince me that what I have stated is untrue.

However, what I have stated is Biblical FACT.

You are free to promote satanism in our society, but don't try to sugarcoat it or slip it in like a 'poison pill'.

Satan is the Ai construct or machine that the one is using.

The one is in God mode as God isn’t possible.

Satan is the AI playing God. This universe is a video game.

When one thwarts the will of God that all be Saved.

Self-worship suggests self Godhood .. and we all know that there is but One God.

This is top of the list for most ignorant responses I have received yet.

Critical thinking darling...... please, during these times, it's crucial think critically.

good post

If knowledge of the Holy Scriptures is what you describe as 'ignorance', then so be it.

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Proverbs teach us:
"It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom."

So the apostle Peter was satan.

Satan spoke through Peter and was rebuked by the Lord directly.

Remember, Peter had not yet been sealed by the Holy Spirit and thus capable of being used by the evil one.

Satan [N] [E] [H]
The Hebrews word satan [f'f] means "an adversary, one who resists." It is translated as "Satan" eighteen times in the Old Testament, fourteen of those occurrences being in Job 1-2, the others in 1 Chronicles 21:1 and Zechariah 3:1-2. There is some dispute as to whether it should be taken as a proper name or a title. In Job and Zechariah the definite article precedes the noun (lit., "the satan" or "the accuser"). Thus some argue it should be a title, while in 1 Chronicles (no article) it should be a proper name. The word is used also of various persons in the Old Testament as "adversaries, " including David ( 1 Sam 29:4 ), Rezon of Damascus ( 1 Kings 11:23 1 Kings 11:25 ), and the angel of the Lord ( Numbers 22:22 Numbers 22:32 ).

In the Old Testament, then, Satan is not an evil principle opposing God. In Job "the Satan" is not God's adversary, but Job's. He Acts as one of God's subordinates/courtiers to follow his directives. (This view is premised on the idea that there is a difference in this being while he is still in heaven, rather than being cast out and being assigned to the realm of earth.) He does not seem, at this point, to be an adversary of all humans, but rather, of selected people. In Zechariah 3:1, he is a potential accuser; in 1 Chronicles 21:1, one inciting David to evil. Within the Job narrative, Satan Acts at God's directive. While 1:12; 2:6-7 point to Satan's causal role in Job's life, later texts like 6:4; 7:14; 9:17 appear to lay blame on God. Thus Satan carries out divine directives.

Not Job's piety, but the connection between his piety and his prosperity was what Satan was questioning. (This is one of the "wisdom" themes of the Old Testament.) He implied that Job's piety was based on self-interest. The tests that followed were meant to demonstrate what that relation was.

"Satan" occurs thirty-six times in the New Testament, eighteen of that number in the Gospels and Acts. The Greek term satanas [Satana'"] is a loan word from the Old Testament, and twenty-eight of the total occurrences are accompanied by the definite article. Often in the Gospel accounts Jesus is in contact with Satan directly or indirectly. He was tempted by Satan ( Mark 1:13 ). In the famous "Beelzebub controversy" Jesus made clear his intention to drive Satan out of people's lives and to destroy his sovereignty ( Matt 12:26 ; Mark 3:23 Mark 3:26 ; Luke 11:18 ). He liberated a woman "whom Satan (had) kept bound for eighteen long years" ( Luke 13:16 ). Paul spoke of his being sent to turn people "from the power of Satan to God" ( Acts 26:18 ), and that the works of the "lawless one (were) in accordance with the work of Satan, " in doing sham miracles, signs, and wonders ( 2 Thess 2:9 ). Christ will come, he wrote, to overthrow that agent of Satan

The Strongest Strong's exhaustive concordance

As I said. Satan means adversary. It's not a singular entity.

Any ONE who is opposed to YOUR view or perception, is your adversary.

You cannot say ..... YOU cannot say with complete knowing whether that adversary is "evil" or "good." YOU don't know another persn's heart. You can only know them by their fruit.

Beware [the bolded part] of enhanced, added, human designations. The bible is full of additonal opinions.

Wrong, unfortunately.

Satan is a proper noun and denotes an evil being.
Look at it again.

NOT everyone who does not believe like me is my adversary;
ONLY those who are opposed to Jesus/Jehovah God.

The archangel that the lord of spirits crowned the ancient of days is the devil and satan?? You are in sore need of Coptic and gnostic scripture, friend. And just who do u think the 'They' are in rev.nine elev? The locusts?.. ..It's the elect. 'God' made him to be king over u, u r the they. Allegedly.

Jesus was adversarial to the Pharisees.

Hence, Jesus was a “satan” to them.

That is your own understanding. That's what you've been taught. It CAN be a proper noun, but it isn't always. And I showed that above.

I agree that anyone who is opposed to the will of the Creator is the adversary at work through humans.

But people throw the term around far too loosely and generally. That's the point of this thread.

Grammatically correct.

EXACTLY, Thank you!

So now we attack the common rules of grammar?

Here's some help:

So, is 'satanism' to you just being adversarial, hostile and opposed?

.

The original H.brew and the original Greek do not stylize the word “satan” as a proper noun. That was done later by those who intentionally structured the bible into the tool of Mind enslavement that it is.

anything opposed to Creator would be *satanism.* You see me as satanic, yet I am as far from opposed to Creator and Yahshua as one could be.

I don't see you as satanic. That's not true!

I'm just trying to figure out why someone would promote the word 'satan'. It implies satanism today ...

Perhaps I misunderstood you, but as you accused me of promoting satanism, that would seem you see me as satanic.
