>Demons can claim to be whoever they want to be from Satan to God
How do we know who is really who from the bible?

They can only act with permission from the big cheese

The answer will be given if you truly seek Him out.

>>40601920
I am aware of that, but what if God gave permission to these demons to pretend to be him or somebody else?

>>40601915 (OP)
one provides the other requires

>>40601989
God won't allow one to be tested beyond their capabilities.

The Bible god lies.

"For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie" ( 2 Thessalonians 2:11 )

"And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.

22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee." ( 1 Kings 22:21-23 )

We are God. Stop looking to worship something.

>>40602181
Its so easy to take the Bible out of context and formulate a lie to justify such a childish argument against it.

>>40602187
It said he lied.

Abrahamists the Demiurge.

>>40602187
It said he lied. Where is the out of context? It's right there.

Abrahamists worship the Demiurge.

>>40602193
I accept your concession.

>>40602198
I'm not even going to bother to engage because we both know youre being disingenuous. All I'm going to say is read the whole story, not just a cherry picked amount of verses. Good day.

>>40602206
The Abrahamists always need mental gymnastics.

It's easier to just trust the Divine morality within than to play these games to justify a fundamentally evil scripture.

Thank you. There is some heinous shit in the Bible And even if it was divinely penned, the multitudes of editorial councils since the founding of the church have produced nothing but schisms.

Books, verses, words; removed, altered, replaced.
I don't believe anything in the Bible anymore, but I believe in the Christ. We didn't spring from a magic ocean soup.

>>40602206
nta but that's not an answer, I'm genuinely curious. does the rest of the "story" say that god was lying, so the spirit couldn't put lies in the mouths of prophets? or did the spirit not even get to that part?

anyway, what you didn't address is that god agreed to the spirits offer, to negatively act on humans and persuade their minds by interference through lies. explain that clearly please. I don't want to be an ass but it looks like you don't want to shine the light of truth on this

>>40601915 (OP)
Say "Jesus is Lord."

>>40602611
Just read it. That's all I'm going to say.

>>40602651
why won't you engage in conversation here?! I read the rest of it in the nkjv and couldn't make out how these quotes are out of context.. I'm ESL so that might be a part of my lack of understanding the contents

>>40602717
>I'm ESL so that might be a part of my lack of understanding the contents
then read a translation in your native language. Also, there's a multitude of explanations on the internet for you to read. They will explain it to you. You just want to argue, and I don't. Good day.

>>40602749
well, thank you for nothing then. you contributed exactly 0 to this topic. is this beneath you or scientific degree?! this is a forum where we exchange information, but you won't. why are you here? why do you tell people to fuck off and then just disengage? you're wasting everyone's time here.
>You just want to argue
I want to have a conversation about it, because you accused the other anon of lying but you won't explain shit and then you tell me to study it on my own without ever sharing your perspective. so you are the one who argues except you don't use proper arguments and now you're done talking, because that's so mature of you. good day to you, too.

>>40602749
I love you anon.
I know you love God.
Please don't let a scripture veil the true Morality you feel.

>>40602749
Typical passive-aggressive Christian.

>>40602181
Christ is the True Word.

>>40602749
typical bitch getting exposed as a retard then backing off all while declaring victory kek

>>40601915 (OP)
you judge them by their fruits
you look at what they tell you and how it makes you feel
its a personal decision to trust information no matter who its from
this is how you should treat everyone on earth too. dont take anyones word over your gut
you guys must struggle with daily life if you have to ask questions like this
