You could respond "God loves me, no matter what. People are weak & fallible, they are not like God. I am forgiven, I am saved, so get thee behind me, Satan!"
What is a true Christian ? Well its not the kind of "Ned-Flanders-on-Steroids" morons we often get preaching on here.
There again, what do I know ?

Everyone, at some point ior another will have "evil" thoughts, whether it be from they want to get revenge, down to thinking nasty things about anyone. Maybe no one knows what a true Christian should be like, as everyone is different as a person. they all follow the same faith, but they are not the same people. A true Christian to me is one who DOESN'T need to preach, is non judgemental,who believes in thier faith and does not carry out punishment over trivial things in the name of Jesus & God.Maybes i am wrong, maybes i am not.

Satan does not exist! he was invented to keep the people on the straight and narrow by the Catholic Church. They were the only Christians until Henry the Eighth was refused a divorce by the Pope, he then formed the Protestant Church, The Non Conformists came later and the Evangelicals Last of All ! But Hey, you believe what you like, as the man said "It's a free country" well it is now, can't be too sure in the future!!!

Firstly I don't think I have had any evil thoughts today though I am beginning to think of some now. This scenario was handled very nicely by C S Lewis in 'the Screwtape letters' where a senior devil is giving advice to his nephew on how to ensnare human souls. One of the bits of advice is about how to get the human to question his own purity of heart so much that he becomes self obsessed.
We all have evil thoughts from time to time. Perhaps it's not having them that is the crime but dwelling on them and letting them become important.

Salvation is a belief generated by the Christian religion. ALL humans are created and equal in the eyes of God. The biblical quotes of Jesus have been misquoted to exclude some and control others. The kingdom of Heaven has many levels and how close to God you are there is how loving your thoughts, actions and words are on earth.

I would say to satan;
You are the tinker of evil thoughts, and I like that type error so I left it in. Because if I am deaf, then I am blind, if I am blind then I do not see the light, and if I do not see the light, then why are you asking me questions to doubt the fact that I live well in it.
Those who do not question where their thoughts come from are the ones who are deaf, and live in fear of the light, and are exactly where satan wants them to be.
next question;
One who has no doubts about winning every such situation??
One who is confident that his every thought he takes captive and makes it obedient to Christ.

I'd say to satan "I have evil thoughts all the time and nothing has happened to me yet. Besides, what would you care, just one more person in hell for you, quit complaining!" I would also remind him i'm not religious.

Get thee behind me satan.I dont understand the true bit soz cant see how you could be a christian but not a true one.A christian to me has a set of beliefs that all christians share.no different in that respect to any other religion.each religion has slight differences but we all believe in something higher than ourselves.

You cannot control the thoughts that enter you mind but you do have the ability to control the thought once it is in your mind to get rid of it. It is not a sin as long as you do not dwell on the thought.

Even Jesus was tempted that's normal. These thoughts are not the same as acting upon them.
