To be called a satanist

[Enlightenedtruth]

I have been called many things in my lifetime; but I was never called a satanist until recently here in this forum.

So much for....judge not, least ye be judged. Matthew 7:1 KJV

My Christian belief's are different than most, because I was taught the truth....and remember the truth. Belief in Satan is not much different than believing in aliens or bigfoot.....when anyone believes Satan has any kind of power on or over this earth. Satan thought he had power greater than God's, and those who stood with him in the uprising saw him as "god" (Thou shalt have no other God before me).

Satan has no power, that is a myth
There are no aliens anywhere in Creation, that is a myth
there is no bigfoot, that is a myth

For men who want to believe in myths and fairy tales; that is their choice....of their own free will. As for me, I will stick to the reality that is.

I do have a question....has anyone ever seen satan or one of his followers here on this earth perform a miracle? Part the seas, bring forth the plagues of man, etc?

Where?

And, yet, much of what you believe isn't Christian at all. There is much that you have not and cannot provide any biblical evidence for. This means it is entirely of your own imagination, at best.

The irony is, almost everything you have given is myth and fairy tale. Satan most certainly is real and has real power, if we are to believe the Bible.

I do have a question....has anyone ever seen satan or one of his followers here on this earth perform a miracle? Part the seas, bring forth the plagues of man, etc?

Why would anyone believe that? Is that what the Bible says? You don't seem to understand the power that Satan has, how he uses it, and why he uses it as he does:

Mat 4:1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. (ESV)

Luk 8:27 When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs.
Luk 8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”
Luk 8:29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.)
Luk 8:30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. (ESV)

Joh 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (ESV)

2Co 2:11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs. (ESV)

2Co 4:3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
2Co 4:4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (ESV)

2Co 11:13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
2Co 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. (ESV)

Eph 2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
Eph 2:2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— (ESV)

Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (ESV)

1Pe 5:8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (ESV)

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. (ESV)

Rev 20:2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
Rev 20:3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. (ESV)

I meant to add these as well:

Job 1:12 And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
Job 1:13 Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,
Job 1:14 and there came a messenger to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,
Job 1:15 and the Sabeans fell upon them and took them and struck down the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
Job 1:16 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
Job 1:17 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “The Chaldeans formed three groups and made a raid on the camels and took them and struck down the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
Job 1:18 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,
Job 1:19 and behold, a great wind came across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you.” (ESV)

Job 2:6 And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.”
Job 2:7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. (ESV)

This supports what Jesus said, that "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy."

I do agree......satan is a very real "creature"......and any who want to believe he still has power of any sort are free to do so.......but any who believe in that nasty lizard is just fooling themselves......

I do believe in that Bible......but I reject all the changes "men" have made to that Book......things that do not "fit" with reality.....

2,000 years ago "stoning" was still a common practice for certain crimes......if anyone offended God (meaning if you offended a Pharisees) they would be stoned in the blink of an eye, no questions asked. A man Teaching anything about God or performing "miracles" would have been stoned post haste.....because those Pharisees were the "only authority" on all things God.....

The Pharisees could not catch Jesus in the act.....they heard whispers and rumors; but they could find no one and nothing to condemn him to stoning.....so they "trumped" up some charges and handed him over to the Romans.....

Jesus did walk this earth, he did Teach, he performed miracles.....and he left Scriptures to guide the Children......a few of those Scriptures are still mostly written in that Bible.....

Throughout that Bible the word "believe" should actually be "obey".....to obey God and His Son.....to follow the laws that God set forth.....some man deciding that Jesus should have forgiven all mankind's Sin instead is nonsense....if anyone actually believes that, then God's Law means nothing.....because all Sins are simply forgiven......

Christians are free to believe whatever they want......but when you stand before God and tell him you are Sin free because the Bible told you so.....I wish you luck with that.....

He still has power because the Bible says he still has power. I gave verses that state that.

.......but any who believe in that nasty lizard is just fooling themselves......

What do you mean by "believe in"?

I do believe in that Bible......but I reject all the changes "men" have made to that Book......things that do not "fit" with reality.....

For which you have never been able to provide any evidence. Do you have evidence now of 'all the changes "men" have made' to the Bible?

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything.

Throughout that Bible the word "believe" should actually be "obey".....

Wat do you base that on? Which Greek word(s) should be translated as "obey"?

Mat 9:28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” (ESV)

Should that be "obey"? How would that make sense?

Mar 9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” (ESV)

Should he really be saying, "I obey; help my disobedience!"?

There are numerous passages I could cite.

to obey God and His Son.....to follow the laws that God set forth.....

Which laws?

some man deciding that Jesus should have forgiven all mankind's Sin instead is nonsense....

The Bible unequivocally states that Jesus died for our sins, in our place, to reconcile us to God. That those who believe and put their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins become children of God. There is no other way. That is the gospel. That is what the entire OT law points to and what the NT is about. It is one of the main reasons Jesus came and died. If you don't believe that, then by definition, you cannot be a Christian.

if anyone actually believes that, then God's Law means nothing.....because all Sins are simply forgiven......

Then you understand neither the Law nor the gospel. If you think you can follow the OT law and be saved, Paul says that you are to be considered accursed.

Gal 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
Gal 1:7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. (ESV)

The "different gospel" Paul speaks of is trying to follow the law for salvation.

Christians are free to believe whatever they want......

No, not really. There are things one must believe as a Christian, and if one doesn't believe, then they are not a Christian.

but when you stand before God and tell him you are Sin free because the Bible told you so.....I wish you luck with that.....

I'm not sure who would ever tell God they are sin free, because that isn't what the Bible says.
