I suggest you read my posts more carefully. I said nothing about such people believing because of creation. If you think otherwise, then quote me.

Says the person who mangles my words and pretends to understand what I'm saying. smh...

In The Handmaiden's Conspiracy (2018, Defender; Crane, MO), chapter 4, author Donna Howell discusses the pagan religious/cultural context of Ephesus in the first century. She explains that adherents to the cult of Artemis taught that she could create life without the need for a man's...

I will not sacrifice truth for false peace.

Welcome to CC, Fred... I will be straightforward with you: it sounds to me that the problems you face are both relational and spiritual. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your saviour, do so. Nothing else I can offer will help you until this foundation is established. It appears that...

Wow... now a personal attack? I'll just let your own words condemn you.

There isn't such a list, period. I don't know why you have a bee in your bonnet over this topic, but it's clear that you do. You have been asked more than once for some background to this question, and you have responded with spite rather than explanation. So, unless you can step up and...

You are starting a battle you cannot win.

There is no need to drag KJV-onlyism into this.

With respect, rewording your question is not providing context. Clearly, I'm not the only person here who sees the need for it.

Your question needs context.

There is no need to insult a respected member of this board as you have done, nor to make unwarranted assumptions about his beliefs.

Um... what? A heretic is a person who believes in or promotes heresy. It's that simple. I'm not sure your category distinction would hold up under scrutiny.

There is certainly more going on than many people believe, but there is also more going on than merely God and Satan. The good news is that God is in control and Jesus has won the war. For those willing to do a little homework, I recommend Michael S. Heiser's The Unseen Realm.

The owner of the house might be open to a discussion about an "undead" guy... named Jesus. ;)

Nope. That's my best effort at explaining/defining given a few minutes to think about it.

I'll have to hunt down the sources, which looks like a tomorrow task. In short, there was a lot of paganism and proto-gnosticism, wherein women were taught all sorts of counter-Biblical beliefs. Paul was correcting some of these.

Time is the non-material, non-spatial framework or medium in which events occur. A sequence of events occurs within time, but is not itself time. Time may be likened to a river, where "water" is the direct analogue, but again this is a comparison rather than a definition.
