You must have skipped over the book of Job then, as well as other OT passages that shows that evil is also supernatural. [Godzilla]
On the contrary, Godzilla. I have probably read Job harder and with more interest than you can possibly imagine. I have written treatises on it. [MestaMachine]

And what dd I say, dimwit? I SAID Shaitan is the adversary, sent to TEST man not enslave him...and here YOU are quoting scripture that proves me 100% right. That man would CHOOSE evil is his own failing. Man’s choice. ALWAYS. Obviously, as Job is interpreted, Job did NOT choose evil. If you choose evil, you enslave YOURSELF to it.
Anything else?
‘But evil exists and it is human in nature, not supernatural. [MestaMachine, knowing better than Job, Zechariah, the author of Chronicles — not to mention God — combined!)”
No, MestaNachine who obviously knows better than YOU. Do the word “comprehend” ring a bell? It’s terribly strange to debate someone who disproves their own arguments. In fact, Job also said his desire was to reason with G-d. And guess what, G-d answered him. Because all of those who spoke did so in arrogance without KNOWING what they were talking about. Like you, for instance.
