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.
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?
A lot of people hold a similar view in the modern era. It's not really anything I've never heard before..
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.
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.
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.
We are on a first name basis. He is not the first self identified satanist/luciferian I have known.
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 NIKA
That's fine but you need to be careful.
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!
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.
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?
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.
Are these writers or youtubers or something? I hold there is generally more value in myths than most of what is taught as fact when it comes to philosophy and science and other obsessions people in higher learning seem to hold.
