hypothetical: satan

[Ironhold]

Hypothetical.

You're a dentist.

Satan walks through the front door of your clinic. He's in obvious pain, and you can tell just by looking at him that he's in bad shape. He's also offering to pay in full and in cash.

Do you treat him?

 

[PloverWing]

Love your enemies, and all that. I think I have to.

 

[Sketcher]

As dentists are not qualified to work on angelic beings, I'd have to show him the door.

I think I would follow King David's lead:

Psalms 101:3-4
3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know wickedness.

"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are. Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” No, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:14-21

I'd put him under the gas and then pull all of his teeth out.

Yes, as long as my prayer did not convict me beforehand!

You know ,
How you treat the devil would not matter one bit to him.
He is predestined to the lake of fire ,that is a closed book God is the Alpha and Omega.

How you treat your own final destination is still a consideration, you can trust what the devil tells you or trust in Christ.

As far as God's word is concerned the devil is a liar.

Hmmm...
Judging your patient isn't exactly Christian either i.m.o.
You have no business with the patient's personality as a dentist.

Well, I'm assuming it is obvious that it is truly the devil who has come in looking for dental work. If so, I will have nothing whatever to do with him.

1 Peter 5:8-9
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

But it's just his tooth, nothing further.

9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.


Selah.

Sure, but it's just his tooth, not his message or whatever.
And maybe he will be a little less evil without that tooth ache.
On the other hand, he may refrain from devouring with a tooth ache

None the less, i would rather have him look for another dentist too.

 

[Hieronymus]

No, a lengthy thorough root canal treatment, without anesthetics!

LOL! Exactly!

 

[Judahs_Lion]

I'd probably need a new receptionist after that but yes, I'd treat him. Being this is a hypothetical, I'd be a Christian who was also a dentist and have this playing on the surround sound in the treatment room.

I wouldn't charge him a dime.

"How many Christians pray for the Devil?" Matthew 5:44, Luke 6:28

 

[now faith]

There is no need to pray for the Devil,his fate is sealed God's word is a closed book.
He will be cast into the lake of fire,along with death and Hell.
Start praying for him you just may end up praying to him.


Revelation: 20. 10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Not possible for those who are in Christ.
Satan and his angels will be destroyed to exist no more. Meanwhile, the book of Job tells us that God spoke with Satan. Satan serves God's purpose. I'd suggest you don't over think it with your own doctrine. Especially with regard to the spiritual status of Christians who answer hypothetical's regarding dentists and Satan having teeth.

It depends on whether his insurance covers the treatment.

Right in the initial post.
