I actually thought that you meant that it was my fault. I just prefered to adress that in a neutral tone.
Sure we are until that wascal gets thrown into the LOFOh, that's better.
Now, are not we supposed to fight the devil?
Oh, that's better.

I don't see anything in scripture that says we're supposed to fight the Devil.
It's definately a wrestling match i.e. A FIGHT:
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
We see this 'fight' in live action, real time, right here on this site every single day.
So far the 'winners' are the ones who condemn our fellow mankind.
enjoy!

Looking at that in the original language, I believe it has much more to do with fighting sin than fighting the Devil.
You might ask yourself, SELF, why are you trying to DIVIDE SIN from THE DEVIL?
Do you have any biblical basis for making this sort of claim? The ECFs would certainly not support your position on this! My church's traditions set us squarely in opposition to this line of thinking!That no matter what you type, no matter what your words are, there is somebody who will find a way to turn it into a fight of some sort?
Squint, must every thread be diverted to a discussion of your theory about the flesh and the devil?You might ask yourself, SELF, why are you trying to DIVIDE SIN from THE DEVIL?
You might find that it is THE DEVIL who in fact does such things IN SELF. Sorry to have to tell you, but it's TRUE: and NO, you are not 'exempt' just because you are a beeeliever.
1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Surely, you jest!Read it yourself in Mark 18:4-21:4.5
Squint, must every thread be diverted to a discussion of your theory about the flesh and the devil?
Where does it say this is a debate section?
I disagree....The Flesh and Circumcison are brought up quite often by Paul and the Circumcision is faily important to OC Judaism to this day........I believe this is what JESUS and Paul came to denounce to the Judeans......[I dare not bring this up to the "Jews" for obvious reasons]Conversely, why is it that nearly NONE can render this obvious fact into their discussions? The desire to blame anyone and anything BUT the devil is a sign of the devils working in people, donchaknow?
It's not a 'theory' but a scriptural fact.
And the flesh is not the devil.
That no matter what you type, no matter what your words are, there is somebody who will find a way to turn it into a fight of some sort?
I think you are pulling my leg. You're not interested in debate or discussion. I think you are looking for a fight and if you can't find one you'll do your best to start a fight among others.
Enjoy!
Question is...if they do reply in a confrontational way, how do you react?
One can react with the stance of...."That's your opinion. I have a different one. Let's leave it at that"....or maybe respectfully elaborate on their point a little and then reply with ...."That's your opinion. I have a different one. Let's leave it at that"....and just rest securely in what it is they believe in and in how they think they should conduct themselves as a Christian.
OR...they can do the opposite of that, which is taking offence (God knows why) of the other person's lack of understanding or perceived innapropriate behaviour, and then go on to engage in a fight with that person (...which, isn't what we Christians do. That's not our nature).
Who cares who will turn what into a fight. Are you allowing other's actions to affect your degree of happiness and thus your consequent behaviour as a Christian??? That's not how we live our lives, friend.
Peace
