Lucifer knows the Scriptures and he can even cite them, but he doesn't live by them.
Define lives by them? Does your father not use scripture to deceive others? Is it not possible that that when satan preaches and people listen, that is in essences living by scripture?
Is there not a difference in living by them and LIVING THEM,kind of like one can talk the talk, but the walk is far too difficult for many?
People with the fruits of the spirit will be the give away , like peace, love, joy of the Holy spirit ...you see people with a smile on the face most of the time would have a good chance of knowing God through Jesus, and this joy would be a sweet joy and not a joy for undermining others
I love God and I love Jesus Christ. I see him as the model of the Christ spirit in each person's life. I believe in God and the spirit of God, but I don't believe in the Trinity as Christianity teaches. I don't believe the Trinity doctrine has any biblical foundation.
Is there a way, now a day, to tell the difference between Christians and unbelievers other than Christian saying that they believe in Jesus.
Jesus gives us a clue at Matthew 7:20. Genuine ' wheat ' Christians would be known or identified by their fruits (behavior).
They cultivate the fruit of God's spirit in their personality as listed at Galatians 5:22-23
They keep Jesus' command at Matthew 24:14; 28:18-20; Acts 1:8 to tell others the good news message about God's kingdom government in the hands of Christ Jesus who will usher in global Peace on Earth among people of goodwill.
- Daniel 2:44; Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:14-16

How would you define me?
Christianity does Not teach Trinity. It is Christendom (so-called Christian but mostly in name only) who teaches it.
Christianity teaches that the pre-human heavenly Jesus was the beginning of the creation by God - Rev. 3:14 B.
God is uncreated - Psalm 90:2. So, only God was before the beginning. Jesus was Not before the beginning as God was before the beginning.
God's spirit ( Psalm 104:30 ) is a neuter "it" -> see Numbers 11:17; Numbers 11:25
Just as we might refer to a car or ship as a she ' it ' still remains a neuter "it".
1) Christianity does Not teach Trinity. It is Christendom (so-called Christian but mostly in name only) who teaches it.
2) Christianity teaches that the pre-human heavenly Jesus was the beginning of the creation by God - Rev. 3:14 B.
God is uncreated - Psalm 90:2. So, only God was before the beginning. Jesus was Not before the beginning as God was before the beginning.
.
Just the opposite.
1) Christianity teaches the Trinity. It is Christendom (so-called Christian but mostly in name only) who doesn't teaches it.
2a) Jesus was because
A: Jesus is God John 1:1-3 and "all things were created by him for him". Colossians 1:16
B: Jesus says he was:
John 17:5
"And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began." ~ Jesus
2b) The Trinity appeared at Jesus' baptism Mark 1:9-11 and is the same Triune God that the Jesus named in the making of all disciples. Matthew 28:19
3) 1 century coined word for "Trinity" is "Deity" .... and in Jesus the Deity lives in bodily form Colossians 2:9
Maybe you can tell by the "Christian" believer's stance on guns and violence. If a person is pro-guns or pro-war, then I seriously doubt that they know Christ. It's all a front.
