If you want to speak on behalf of satanists and their motivations be my guest. Personally, I would be very wary.And speaking on acceptance's behalf, he's definitely not a troll.

That was a troll comment of his right there. He knows very well Jesus was real including all about non Christian historical accounts. He has read this thread carefully and no doubt knew it all before anyway. He's just mocking us.Just wondering where you draw this idea from.
I know him better than you. He questions a lot of stuff. If you are just going to cast him away on account of your perception of some falsehood you feel he is clinging to then what is the point of evangelism?If you want to speak on behalf of satanists and their motivations be my guest.

A lot of people hold a similar view in the modern era. It's not really anything I've never heard before..He knows very well Jesus was real including all about non Christian historical accounts.
Go back and read what I said. I have posted several things that might give him hope but he needs to listen and repent and his heart needs to change. God can do that.I know him better than you.

yes but he knows better. It has been discussed here for starters.A lot of people hold a similar view in the modern era. It's not really anything I've never heard before..
He should be in your prayers before you jump all over him for what he may or may not believe. Then it doesn't matter if he's trolling you or not.Go back and read what I said. I have posted several things that might give him hope but he needs to listen and repent and his heart needs to change. God can do that.
Again, I have encouraged him to repent. I haven't given up on anyone however you need to be very wary of someone who identifies as a satanist.And truthfully, I love the guy both as a human being and as someone who might one day be a brother in Christ. Man that has a sweet ring to it.
Did you see the post today where I told him I prayed for him. I wasn't joking I prayed for him.He should be in your prayers before you jump all over him for what he may or may not believe. Then it doesn't matter if he's trolling you or not.
We are on a first name basis. He is not the first self identified satanist/luciferian I have known.Again, I have encouraged him to repent. I haven't given up on anyone however you need to be very wary of someone who identifies as a satanist.
I didn't see your post about the prayer. I am commanded to fear nothing but God so I'm not worried about it. Most people I know do not believe as I do. If I cut them all off I would mostly be without any friends. ICXC NIKADid you see the post today where I told him I prayed for him. I wasn't joking I prayed for him.
Again though satanists scare me. You need to be wary including their motivations. Remember Satan is a deceiver and tells lies. That's what it's all about.
That's fine but you need to be careful.We are on a first name basis. He is not the first self identified satanist/luciferian I have known.
He hasn't invited me to any black masses yet and we live about a thousand miles apart so I'm in pretty good shape but good lookin' out!That's fine but you need to be careful.
I skipped over the last 7 or so pages but I'm assuming you're taking about @acceptance here. Going past the things we disagree on and looking at personality I think he's a pretty alright guy.And truthfully, I love the guy both as a human being and as someone who might one day be a brother in Christ. Man that has a sweet ring to it.
I meant do not be deceived. Also you should pay attention when a satanist seemingly agrees with your view on Christianity.He hasn't invited me to any black masses yet and we live about a thousand miles apart so I'm in pretty good shape but good lookin' out!
Well, for starters he's not a "satanist" in the way you seem to be terming it. I'm orthodox and me speaking with him about it might be the closest thing he ever gets to an orthodox church so I only see our interactions in a positive light even if I don't like him (and I do). i enjoy his critical thinking skills rather than blind adherence to whatever he is fed on tv. I don't care whether he agrees with my religion or not, orthodoxy is orthodoxy and I will still remain orthodox regardless of outside influences. Maybe it's resonating more with him than protestant reform theology. Have you considered that?Also you should pay attention when a satanist seemingly agrees with your view on Christianity.
I appreciate the sentiment man. You never know!And truthfully, I love the guy both as a human being and as someone who might one day be a brother in Christ. Man that has a sweet ring to it.
Mostly from Dorothy Milne Murdock AKA 'Acharya S'. Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth has also been influential.Just wondering where you draw this idea from.
