Did you see the word "himself"? Nowhere does Christ refer to Satan as himself. Satan is the evil one, the adversary. Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Satan is a defeated foe. He is cast out. Christ is the resurrected Son of God. He will return in glory.

You can't make up your own rules of language. That passage clearly refers to Satan and the Devil as one and the same, which notwithstanding.
Satan the new name of Jesus? I believe you have been deceived.
Professing to wise they became fools.
That even the elect might be deceived.
Matthew 19
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Isaiah 14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Mark 8
29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
Matthew 16
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Mark 8
31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
Luke 22
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

good and evil are completely based on perspective and in most cases if the person or entity is in agreement with our ways of life.

You further the truth I am getting at. You know that "in" implies not the 7th itself?
Example: When you put anything "in" a suitcase, is that anything the suitcase itself? No! That anything is STILL outter.
I'll give you a run down:
on, in, out, to, beside, like, as, under, over, and the alike are all implications of "outter" whatsoever (or whosoever) it the case be.
So God is indeed implicated being not something when everybody swears God is EVERYTHING? Hmmm.
Gen 1:
1 "In" the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
^^Clearly God is not the beginning. It is even why Revelation implicates "the" Person (formerly named Jesus) Who is "the" beginning. The Person is not iplicated being "in" the beginning.
Let me also quote something you quote to another:
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
^^How can no one see the Devil is not Satan? The old serpent was called the Devil. Notice the word WHICH right after the word Satan?
If I say, You, called Frog, and I, which decieve the whole world...
^^Do you see now how Satan is not the Devil? The person which decieve the whole world (you must pick one of the two) is the he who was cast out into the earth. Who it was still decieves, so it is Satan. But duh, the world is implicated as what? EVIL. So what is Satan doing decieing EVIL? It is implicating Satan is not evil if he is decieving it.
So do not knock Satan being Jesus' new earthly name.

In my understanding, the only unfulfilled Jewish High Holy Day is the Feast of Trumpets, which will be fulfilled upon Christ's return. I admit to being somewhat weak in this area of prophecy, though.

I do stick to my assertion that Christ is the Christian Sabbath. Salvation is not predicated on anything but accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. Paul wrote at length, and confronted Peter and James, on this issue. The Judaizers sought to add the circumcision and allegiance to Old Testament customs to the salvation of the Gentiles. Paul showed them to be in error.

And to the other poster: Better continues unlike best and unlike good. Best implies final and set. So when I say I am better I cap off not myself since I am overcoming, always, with the Person's new naming (Satan/Michael).

Are you telling me that the one you deem the Creator did not want the words translated for the world? And that that Creator only wanted us to come to speaking the only language the only original writings was written in?
You should read these to remind you henceforth:
"Matt24:
14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
"Mark 13
10And the gospel must first be published among all nations."
^^Therefore I stand correct with what I state concerning "in", "on", and the alike, how I, here in America, am meant for revealing aspects in truth.
The one you deem the Creator sure is working with, say, the KJV and etc. translations says the quotes since is surely 'for' them. Like, why would it be we must refer to the original words only, as if no other translation holds any relevent weight wanted seen? As if there is no such thing as synonyms? As if there is no such thing as things meant to be edited out? Does not a bird lose its egg shell, before your observation, after hatching, so that you may observe it as more than that egg shell? And the egg shell is waste material just like stuff that is edited out in a movie.
Surely the english translations reveal they are trees grown up from a seed. Remember the parable about the mustard seed and kingdom comparison? Basically, there may be richly more told with a translation other than with the original writings.
So what I'm saying is the translated versions others read may be meant just how so they have come forth by the one you deem the Creator, just for those readers to get the message in truth with them. Ever thought that to be the case?
Plus, for a person who buys only the original writings you sure are quoting from a translation. Am I smelling hypocrisy cooking? You can not believe in USING the original and then knock what I said when you surely dont believe in USING the original yourself. You would be better off letting what I said stand, with the version I'm working with that you're woring with, with your very agreement than go into a hypocrisy with that original vs a translation case.

Jdg 19:5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.
Are you now going to tell me that it wasn't on the fourth day?
Anyway, all languages aside, to settle this debate, I am going to ask you a question. If I tell you that on the seventh day I am going bash my head against a brick wall, please, tell me, what day am I going to bash my head against a brick wall? If you tell me any day except the seventh day, I will know that you are completely insane.
