You have a hyper literal way of reading the Bible - its lazy to be honest. Hyper Literal means Extremely literal!

Because you read the Bible this way you are forced into believing the rebel angel devours people like a lion,

The bible has to be spiritually discerned, and you also have to compare scripture with scripture.

So, this verse, = "walks about as a Lion.... (looking for prey).... seeking to devour"....

Is this verse... in context.

"The Thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy"....

So, the Bible has many characterizations of Satan and some are Literal, some are symbolic.

Lion
Thief
Serpant
Fatiher of Lies
Murderer from the Beginning
Angel of Light
god of this world

No. Do I have to be a Hebrew expert to know that 3 does not equal 1?
God is not a mathematical equasion.
God IS a Spirit.
Man HAS a spirit.
God HAS Seven Spirits.
The totality of Gods Spirits IS His Glory.
God GIVES His Glory TO no one.
Man HAS “multiple NAMES”, first, middle, surname, nick names.
Mans “Names” WERE first chosen BY God, and Men followed suit to NAME other men.
Often mens chosen Names reveal a TRAIT that is applicable to that man.
God HAS “multiple NAMES”
As well Names that God is Called Reveal TRAITS that Applies to God.
Man HAS “power”, called muscles, called limited authority.
God HAS “power”, called His Spirit, called Almighty, called CHRIST.
Man HAS “words’, called speech.
God HAS “WORDS”, called JESUS.

Point Being, the similarity BETWEEN…
God the Creator and Maker…
And the Created and Made man..

You are NOT a math equation of “multiple men”, because you have multiple names, multiple abilities, duel thought sources, (ie. The Logical weighing MIND and The one Truth Knowing HEART)….

God IS NOT multiple gods. He IS ONE God, with multiple Names, multiple Talents, multiple Gifts, multiple Blessings, multiple Offerings, multiple Spirits….When, Why, How God distributes His Offerings IS by, through, of His Pleasure AND such Offerings are by, through, of…the Express NAME, God Himself Chose FOR His Spirit, His Word, His Truth, His Life, His Way…

Three mathematically does not mean One.
However YOUR THREE, Body, Soul, Spirit does equal YOU as ONE WHOLE created and made man.

Gods THREE, Body, Soul, Spirits DO as well EQUAL ONE WHOLE God, creator and maker of ALL things.

Arguing the wholeness of God according to a mans maths is MOOT.

Glory to God,
Taken

Correct on discernment!
Incorrect on the rebel angels existence as we are proving...happy for you to join in with Wrangler and Aunty Jane!
Good list though and each of them speak to the Seed of the Serpent i.e fleshly thinking.

Satan isn't dead.
Hell is not a myth.

Hell was created FOR the Devil and His angels.
He and They are not in it yet.

They are still deceiving.
As a matter of fact, if they can get you to believe that they dont exist, then they will have you blaming God for the evil in this world, as well as blaming God for your problems in life, that come to you, unexpectedly, and harm.

Believing the Bible is a huge mistake? Sounds just like what Satan would say.
Na, I picture you as a lazy man who rests in his knowledge and hasn't added to it for a very long time. Your rebel angel devours people at will and maybe you might be it's next victim?

Never existed to begin with!
Hell is not a myth.
No Hell is real and every person goes there!
Hell was created FOR the Devil and His angels.
Yes many people will remain there thats for certain.
He and They are not in it yet.

They are still deceiving.
Yes, many deceivers in the world - none divine though!
As a matter of fact, if they can get you to believe that they dont exist, then they will have you blaming God for the evil in this world, as well as blaming God for your problems in life, that come to you, unexpectedly, and harm.
Wrangler & Aunty Jane have tried to prove the existence of a rebel angel without success - if you want to engage with the text be my guest.

Jesus said he existed both in Heaven, and on Earth.

First as Lucifer and then as Satan.

In fact, deceiver, Jesus said that Satan was near, just before Jesus was arrested.... and taken into custody by the Jews.
And before that, Jesus dealt with Satan personally, prior to starting His ministry.

You're cult is awful, as your theology is Bible Rejecting.

Be glad im not a mod here.

Reading Romans 5 will let you in on the secret :)
Quiet,

Did you notice the issue of death in that chapter?

For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17.

We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. Romans 6:9

For our sake God made Jesus to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Paul is bringing your mind to a fundemental point in his argument, one which many Christians shrink back from...

Can you see now how sin was represented in the body of the Lord?

Can you also see the need for God to remove it?

Few open these doors and even fewer walk through.

Personal insults are common from Bible haters!

You're the Bible chopper, not me. You chop out the parts you don't like, just like Kingdom Hall!

Bad news for you, Satan / the Devil is clearly taught throughout the Christian Bible. He has stolen God's Word, the Bible, from you.

2 Corinthians 2
10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, 11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

You just called Jesus and the Bible liars!

Mark 4

When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Smokescreen! I don't think you have a clue what's in the Bible.

Bible Truth:

Job 1

7 And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."
