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.
It is an agent noun from Greek diaballein "to slander, attack," literally "to throw across," from dia "across, through" (see dia-) + ballein "to throw" (from PIE root *gwele- "to throw, reach").
That's the meaning of Devil. Mis-interpreting the Word in order to fit your flawed arguments.
You're trying to weasel out of what you've already claimed because I torpedoed your argument with a direct quote from Jesus concerning how "MEN" think.
Jesus called PETER and the MIND OF MAN Satan in this context. Plain as day. Whether or not Satan was clouding Peter's mind or it was of Peter's mind is a matter of petty PRIDE you are exhibiting in your refusal to accept the obvious. This word you've added -- "clouding" is your attempt to backpedal and support your previous words and train of thought.
You're currently trying to slither your way out of being wrong.
This was never a matter of being proven right or wrong on my part. I was trying to show you the Serpent that's in your mind right now -- doing mental gymnastics to try and win at all costs. To not be proven wrong. Such is the Devil of Pride.
I just showed you your inner Devil. Either you accept it and confront it, or you double down and continue this cognitive dissonance.
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.
