I would think that if people praise and worship God for selfish reasons but doesn't love others nor helps them grow spiritually, then they are doing so in vain.

For ages white evangelicals have promoted the idea that they’re closet to God than say black Christians in Africa even tho Christian churches were in Africa almost 2 thousand years before the U. S. even existed. Seems that skin color plays a role in the notion. Look at all the depictions of God as being a white man that have been promoted by the same peopke too. But now Scientists investigating the DNA of Phillistines (Goliath the giant was one) who fought wars with ancient Israel actually were Europeans. Their DNA is completely unlike that of the ancient mideast peoples. So white Europeans clashed with brown skinned Israel and God fought against the Europeans. That’s a big difference from the ‘God is white’ teachings of evangelicals.

Ancient Israelites were black per Jewish experts today: “the subjects of the Kingdom of Judea in the Second Temple Period looked more like black Africans. This theory arose after Prof. Yair Ben David of Tel-Aviv University conducted the first-ever facial reconstruction of its kind.”

From John Milton, he wrote a book on it:

John Milton believed that nobody had the right to tell Satan what to do, including God. Satan is mad because he feels God taking charge violates his freedom but if God allowed him to do as he please, including rebellion, and not judge him for it, then God would be immoral to overlook rebellion. God is just and judges fairly.

Please inform me why you chose your choice.

Of course we know that Satan can not cast out Satan. You can't cast out your own demons. You'd have to have another person in your dream to do this but who is to say it is impossible.

I was curious if anybody can explain thoroughly if dreams give demons free range to attack us or not without worry of them being cast out or if it is a way to cast demons out while they attack in your dreams.

Please get insight and your best spiritual knowledge and source your references if you have strong enough data to support it. I will not just accept your word unless I am convinced enough. So to get me from asking you to back it up, be prepared just in case.

It is strange to me that if you were to somehow see an atheist in a debate and they heard mention of a Satanist, they'd usually think of atheistic Satanists rather than theistic. I'm not sure if theists tend to view Satanists more of the theistic or atheistic type but by and large, I've never heard of an atheist who assumed a Satanist was of the theistic type.

Can anybody give any insight as to why this may be?

I think it has a lot to do with their incentives that they expect others to start off as atheistic in nature, then only apply theistic measures if there is more tell-tell signs coming in. That's my take on it.

When you hear of a Satanist, do you tend to think they are theistic or atheistic type or just generally don't make a decision?

As we know. With the advancements in sciences and the process of knowledge, sciences are maturing in the development of what's needed to verify or falsify something. As of date, they have currently not verified Heaven nor Hell nor have they falsified either (rules it out).

To falsify means you proved it is impossible and thus ruled it out.

To verify means you're proven it must be this way and a fact.

Explain why you think your answer is right.

I think physics is more likely to prove Hell exists than anything else due to the nature of Hell being just below the earth and many evidences is leading to suggest our last and final state of mind seems to be dark and troubled. Even people who have been clinically dead, not talking about near death, but actually brain dead, have shown signs of underworld experiences that correlates with what we know about Hell.

Tell me what you think.

An unbeliever means they had to at-least once believed to be an unbeliever. A non-believer could be someone who doesn't currently believe but it was not required that they once believed. An unbeliever is never someone who never believed but rather at-least once believed. If you never believed, you are a non-believer, not an unbeliever. It is true that both result in not believing currently but one indicates they had once or more believed and the other indicates they just don't believed. It is better to refer to people who never believed as non-believers and people who used to believe but no longer believe as unbelievers.

Yes, I did my homework. You may say but an unsaved person could have never been saved. Wrong. It is a non saved person or person not saved if they were never saved, not unsaved. They call them unsaved but they are not unsaved unless they were once saved and no longer saved.

Think about a screw. If you unscrew a screw, that screw had to have once been screwed. Maybe you didn't screw the screw but the screw had to have been screwed before it can be unscrewed. There are things you can do with a screw that doesn't involved unscrewing. You can paint the screw and that is still being non screwed.

In the case of salvation or belief. You're the person experiencing or failing to experience one or both of them so it's your personal experience. If you never believed, then you can't be an unbeliever. An unbeliever means they took off their belief. Yes, you may can believe again. A non-believer is somebody who never believed.

I hope you understand these differences.
