As you rightly say, just like me, "satan" means opposer, resister ... but "satan" doesn't mean "accuser" in Hebrew. Why do you insist on that? satan and devil are two different direct appelations to the same individual. We both agree that besides that both words have a normal common use.

The Greek word διάβολος was used as a translation of the word Satan in the book of Job in the LXX, two centuries before Jesus, not because it was its literal translation, but because it describes the same spirit person. The translators of the LXX were Jewish and were very familiar with the...

Devil means accuser, slanderer. Satan means resister, opposer, adversary. You're confusing the words. The word "satan" is used in the Old Testament to describe anyone who acts as a resister of another. As a direct appellation, it describes a particular spirit that is clearly presented in the...

Did you check Zech. 3:1, 2? There, Satan is shown as a clear "opponent" to God's angel. The word satan means opponent, resister. What do you think a resister of God's purpose is? A confused person or an enemy?

This individual spirit is called Satan and Devil because of the meaning of those words, not because that's his name. In reality, we don't know from the Bible what name identified this spirit when it was created perfect and didn't yet challenge the Creator or tempt God's other servants to...

"Satan is not defined as a devil" ... What are you trying to say with that? And why would that be necessary for the Jews to "believe in a devil"? The Devil and Satan are the same spirit person: the leader of the rebelion against God in heaven ... who took that rebelion to earth. What more...

In Zech. 3:1, 2, Satan is spoken of as a real, personal spirit being. His identity is contrasted with an angel of Jehovah, and they have a direct dialogue like two real people. The same thing happens in the Book of Job, where, in addition to the rest of the angels, this spirit appears before...

During the Transfiguration, Jesus' friends beheld him as though he had already ascended to glory (Matt. 27:2). This might have represented a realization of his prophetic statements on some of those alive seeing the power of the kingdom of God in his exalted King. __ 2 Pet. 1:17-19. Another...

The question is weird, but for someone who disconnects the term "Christian" from Jesus, it might make sense. Many people use the term "Christian" with many different meanings, so "being Christian" has become very ambiguous. There are communities in many parts of the world where a "Christian"...

The Bible teaches the truth: Rom. 8:28 We know that God makes all his works cooperate together for the good of those who love God, those who are the ones called according to his purpose; 29 because those whom he gave his first recognition he also foreordained to be patterned after the image of...

This topic is not about that.

The Scriptures say otherwise: Heb. 2:10 For it was fitting that the one for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the Chief Agent of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both the one who is sanctifying and those who are being...

Heb. 2: 10 For it was fitting for the one for whose sake all things are and through whom all things are, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Chief Agent of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified all [stem] from...

If at any point you tell me something that clearly contradicts Scripture, then I would certainly disagree with you even if you claimed you were right. The truth is not in you but in the Word of God. I would never become your follower, because I already have Jesus to follow; nor would I take you...

Paul said: 1 Cor. 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will...

Evading and more evading. Tired of your evading, only good night is left. I won't keep myself trying to reason to a person who doesn't mind even what Jesus said. It's practically like trying to reason with @Wick Stick when he didn't even believe that the Bible is all inspired. Accept Jesus'...

When Jesus is identified as the Son of Man (from Dan. 7:13, 14), what is being done is to identify a Son of God who became human to obtain the kingdom. Someone who has not been a human being cannot reign over humans. Jesus, as Son of Man, was the offspring of the woman in Gen. 3:15. This does...

Are the sons of God who live with him in heaven before humans were created, made of flesh? You can't seem to accept that it's so easy to understand the existence of sons of God who live in heaven, and that Jesus (although not by that name) was already among them before being born as a human. I...

And I answer you again: Did you know that before humans existed, there were already millions of sons of God in heaven? You just have to understand that reality, and you'll see how easy it is to see who Jesus was as the first and most important among them. It's that simple.

I don't mind your apologetic about the manna. I am mentioning Jesus' own words. You need to accept what he said, not question it.
