Kindly?
First explain your comment, “a meat cleaver for the word”. If that is an insult, which it certainly appears to be, then you can apologize for it before I answer your question.
Each person is responsible before God for his or her own sin.
However, if person A misleads person B, resulting in person B committing a sin, person A is guilty of a greater sin.
Hebrews 2:14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—
Gee... that looks like Jesus already broke the power of the devil.
I haven't insulted you at all, and I haven't ignored your requests to be friendly. Rather, I have simply shown you the truth, which you have consistently ignored.
This is a public discussion forum. You are free to express your opinions and views (within Site rules), no matter how thoroughly...
Your stubbornness on this matter is concerning. You have been shown the plain truth, but you are rejecting it. That tells me you are either dishonest or deceived.

1 Peter 5:9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
In other words, "your suffering is not unique, so don't be discouraged". It is not stating that all...
This is definitely not a "me" problem.
1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Usage lesson: "devil" is not "demon". The words are not the same, and don't refer to the same thing.
Grammar lesson:
The noun...
What I do is take the Scripture as it is, and I try not to make assumptions or unwarranted conclusions about what it does not say.
1 Peter 5:8 says "the devil" (singular) prowls around, looking for someone to devour." That says to me that it is discussing one, the devil, who in and of himself...
I have responded appropriately to your question. As there is no demonic spirit in 1 Peter 5:8, it is not possible to answer any questions about the demonic spirit in 1 Peter 5:8.
You make several claims about what Paul and Jesus say, but you don't quote them. I don't see in Scripture where either says what you claim, so you might as well be talking about the going price of sheep liver in rural Borneo.
There's the problem; you are allowing a machine to think for you.
I am taking part. I'm telling you that you are misreading the Scripture.
That's not supported by Scripture... and the word is deMoNic. How hard is it to spell one key word correctly?
