What "other side"? Satan? What "other side"? I thought you weren't claiming to be some angelic messenger?
Good one. But, I am not an angel! You should know above does more than just pass messages.

Never mind Christ, Gods the head honcho, Angels Nephilim Rehaheim are still his/her/its mess since he/she/it is omnipotent omnipresent and so on and so on. Why perpetuate a war when the solution is redemption and return to the God head?

"Christ chose to become a man and die for man, He didn't choose to become an angel and die for them. It was His choice. I'm thankful the roles are not reversed and redemption wasn't offered to man."
Why is there no mention of Satan of Hell in the Old testament and only in the bible 1.1 aka the New testament?

"Satan is just a title, "ha'satan", (the accuser). His proper name is "Heylel", and it's in the Hebrew text of Isaiah 14:12. "
Ok, seems sketchy at best. You would have thought the great advisory would have required a little more of a mention IMHO, after all is it not required to know thine enemy to defeat thine enemy?edit on 21-9-2012 by andy06shake because: (no reason given)

"I don't see it that way at all, the book is about Christ, not the devil. "
This is the ultimate dilemma with organized religion based on books from 1000s of years ago written by man. Its all open for interpretation in many way and forms.edit on 21-9-2012 by andy06shake because: (no reason given)

"Not at all, that would be "Eisegesis", which is heavily frowned upon, solid scholarship uses "Exegesis" and utelizes the rules of Biblical hermeneutics and the "golden rule" of Biblical interpretation."
You will have to give me a min, thats a lot off offaly big words for me to comprehend.
Can i have it in plain English please?

Thanks mate. So Eisegesis is a philosophical standpoint, way of interpretation?

So from the Exegesis standpoint this suggests that the Bible is only open to a certain type of interpretation, the Vatican interpretation by chance? Im thinking one mans lie is anothers truth, is it not all about our shared interpretation rather than only one way of looking at things? Doesent seem very democratic or fair. I would have thought that by trying to visualise yourself in any certain situation would allow better understanding of the situation?
The process of exegesis involves 1) observation: what does the passage say? 2) interpretation: what does the passage mean? 3) correlation: how does the passage relate to the rest of the Bible? and 4) application: how should this passage affect my life?
Eisegesis, on the other hand, involves 1) imagination: what idea do I want to present? 2) exploration: what Scripture passage seems to fit with my idea? and 3) application: what does my idea mean? Notice that, in eisegesis, there is no examination of the words of the text or their relationship to each other, no cross-referencing with related passages, and no real desire to understand the actual meaning. Scripture serves only as a prop to the interpreter’s idea.
