If I may step in, he's not answering because you both know the answer--everyone is suspectible to satanic deception; but if he admits it, you're going to more or less wave his arguments off with "you've been deceived by Satan."

My father & pastor used to do the same thing to me all the time in childhood.

you're going to more or less wave his arguments off with "you've been deceived by Satan."

Nakatu, they are carrying a disagreement from a previous thread onto this thread. It was among the first questions asked, even though it had nothing to do with this thread.

You are precisely correct. I'm a conservative, evangelical Christian and have been since Jesus found me in 1972. I'm a believer in a real resurrection, an inspired scripture, and a real return of the Savior.

But because I argue against their brand of calvinism, which I don't accept in any brand, they label me as "under the influence of satan."

See post #52. There is preserved a description of other calvinists who thought a man (Servetus) was "influenced by satan." Their arguments have failed, so now they insinuate and attack. It's truly sad.

No, I don't intend to wave anything in the face of my FRiend, xzins. However, his initial reaction to "doc's" suggestion that he might be deceived was to consider it some sort of personal attack, which it wasn't. (I am not certain which thread this occured on, but we have had so many in the past couple of days it is hard to keep track.)

I am constantly aware of the potential for satanic deception in my own life, and care enough for my brother that I don't want him to be ignorant of the possibility.
