I presumed nothing. when I asked if when your petitions are answered whether you don't know if it was God or Satan who answered? You answered "that's exactly right" and "you can know pretty much that it was Satan that answered". No. insult, just telling you that case is sad and unfortunate . Maybe you weren't communicating clearly and I misunderstood?
Do you have anything better to do?
I could ask the same of you. Remember, you initiated the conversation.
What did you say your religious inclination is?
I didn't; but it is orthodox Christianity. I avoid the stuff from the fringe of Christianity.
Perhaps you did. Saved or unsaved, if you regard iniquity in your heart, make all the petitions you want, except one, and Adonai will not hear. But Satan does, and loves to leave a trail o answers and little worldly presents that oppose the will of God to lead you away from Him. If you didn't know and assume this, you might be either untutored in the things of God, or unsaved. Such a person has not reached the stage of spiritual maturity as to be accepted as Beloved John commended his young disciples:
"I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one" (1 Jn. 2:14cde AV).
Baby Christians are still almost as easily deceived by the Devil as they were before committing themselves to the care of Jesus and His appointed teachers. They still behave carnally. Some--actually many nowadays--profess Christianity and salvation, but are not confessing it in their lifestyle, thus do not seem to possess it.
Have you read over your responses in this thread? It is not clear to me that you are not in this class of spiritual immaturity. Do you want to be? Are you teachable? Or do you think you "know it all"?
