Goodness, that was quick.
Let us recall that the word Satan means "the accusor". My experience is that the ones who accuse have huge anger issues that simmer and boil over. Everyone knows that their anger and hatred of others is their primary motivation. One last time - being Republican or conservative does not guarantee a Christian heart any more than being a Democrat or Progressive. The way of being that we call Christian is about genuine humility, love of neighbor and enemy and a relationship with Jesus that changes our anger into love. Satanic energy is filled with accusation - calling people bad or evil - well - it goes against the Gospel. I think Mr. Rogers - Fred of the sweater and puppet fame - was the first one to cause me to look at my own simmering angers. He's with God now, but his spirit is one that I try to imitate in my walk with Christ. Only occasionally can I touch the level of love that he exhibited to all he met. Will keep trying though

Yes,a he was the gentle ol guy on PBS. He was also a Presbyterian minister, a man of prayer and non violence and his very presence could people aware of their statusi as a child of God that they longed to be.
I might suggest Tim Madigan's book - "I'm Proud of You." as an introduction into the gentle spirituality that Fred Rogers lived.

Thinker,

How do you warn someone of impeding danger? Give them a hug? That does not work against those that are looking for victims.

Satan means Adversary. Ha Satan. The Adversary.

You can test Liberal and Progressive doctrnes "if you are a Christian" by the words of the New Testament. Conservatives also.

Conservative ideology passes the testing time and time again, whereas the Liberal and Progressive agenda fails time and time again.

In fact, other than war in certain Liberal presentations, I have yet to see how a Liberal or Progressive has the backing to see their efforts on anything else, as anything that would be supported by the Gospel or the NT letters.

What they have done "to" the poor is anything but Christian, so scratch that one off their list. They are left with war not being a Christian endeavor. Which is a correct position according to the Gospel and the opinions of the Apostles on the Gospel. Does that mean we set up abortion mills, tax the family into poverty, implement Marxism as our governmental structure? Not accrding to the Christian witness in the New Testament and in non-Biblical history.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Liberalism doesn't even make that grade when compared to the Biblical record.

Donny - I believe you have been called such very nicely and politely. To divorce the accusation from a feeling of hatred and from a simmering anger usuaally workds quite well. I dont's believe whaat you said is true at leaast according to such and such. Perhaps you'd like to go over your conclusions again based on this new information. Something along those lines. My issues with your words is that they set us up to hate one another and thaat alwaays ends badly. Somdbody is expelled, or hurt and in some places killed by this game you play. Try seeing people in terms of their God given humanity instead of what you think their politics say about them. That might work too. Stereotypes just don't work well - true on the surface, absolute lies in reality. My sleeping pill is kicking in here, so I better not say anymore.

probably the main reason I could never be a Christian: they all seem to hate each other so much.
