I'm not dancing around anything, I'm trying to get you to read your Bible before you say something stupid.
Explain to me what Jesus means when he says this:
23 [a]Then he turned back, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, [b]Satan: thou art an offence unto me, because thou [c]understandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. - Matthew 16:23
Jesus just called Peter Satan.
Either Peter IS Satan, a serpent, or he's referring to Peter's mindset.
You can't have it your way, I'm afraid.
Nothing I've said goes against Jesus' teachings. I've been working towards this passage. Jesus explicitly states that the mindset IS Satan. Anyone who thinks in this way is working in league with "the Adversary" which is the literal interpretation of the name, Satan.
You said the devil is an idea in the mind of humans .
This is false.
Why can't the Devil both be an Idea and a Spirit?
The origin of sin in humanity is not an idea created by humans
That’s your error and you’re dancing around it

No, he spoke to satan who was clouding peter’s mind.
