>If you were on receive mode instead of only output mode like the Pharisees, one might be able to explain to you how your own demons are reflected back to you as you accuse [Satanas] others through your religious cellophane.

You have the shoe on the wrong hoof. We are talking against hypocrisy and you are for hypocrisy. Re-read Matthew 23. Perhaps even print it out and frame it. The Pharisees were the hypocrites who say and do not.

Mt 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

Mt 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Mt 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Mt 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Mt 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

Mt 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Mt 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

Lu 11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

ALS posted the following in #30 above. It appears to have been a prophecy. Almost everyone else has come along to fulfill the prophecy and let none of his words fall to the ground:

Mr 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

If a woman dated a man for a long period of time and he told her he loved her and talked of marriage and a lifelong relationship, and then a brother she trusted advised her that the man she had been dating was married and obviously had lied to her, what would she do?

Realize she had been deceived and terminate the relationship or wilfully be an accomplice in adultery?

Decide she could not have been deceived, continue in the relationship with the married man and demand proof of his marriage from the brother -- a wedding certificate or photos of the wedding -- and accuse the brother of lying about her lover?

What does she love most? Truth or her current relationship? What is at stake? Her pride, her future and her very life. What does she do when confronted with Truth: deny it and live a lie or accept it and repent?

If a fireman comes to your house and tells you that you have to get out because your house is on fire, what do you do?

Realize someone came to warn you and you have to depart from the house to save your life?

Decide you can't smell smoke and would rather not leave the house so yell at the fireman and call him hateful and say he wants you to die?
