yep.. the fight between the flesh and the Holy Spirit...and satans influence..the devil would have done anything to keep Jesus from That CROSS and ressurecting.

It is because Peter was speaking out of selfishness which is a quality the devil posesses that Jesus rebuked him.

BG, if I thought for one second that you were asking someone to explain this passage to you, I'd respond with my understanding of it. But I strongly suspect that you have all the answers to the threads you begin as questions already. The Socratic method you are using is looking to me like a mere smokescreen for baiting someone into becoming the audience for your teachings.

 

Why don't you save us all the trouble and just go ahead and set forth your teachings?

 

Some believe we are devils and don't believe in Satan at all.

they use this scripture saying Peter is a Satan or Devil.

 

I am asking different opinion on ideas or proof .

Did Jesus call him Satan or the evil spirit in him or Just a name calling representing Satan

 

Jesus identified the spiritual influence prompting Peter's emotional outburst.
