[Scripture More Accurately]

I am interested in learning how believers support what they believe about the answer to this question and its ramifications for Christian doctrine and practice.

Who knows the most about the things that displease God?

Which group of living beings knows more about the things that are displeasing to God?

This is known to God Himself.

So, is it not knowable from God:s given revelation to man?

Answer D. Satan and his demons.
Reason, Matthew 25:41, the place for the perishing was made for the devil and his angels.

I agree that Satan and his demons are the living beings who know the most about the things that displease God. The teaching of Matthew 25:41 does imply that truth, as does much other teaching in Scripture.

To ask for folks to claim to be able to ascertain who of various groups knows more is to ask for rank speculation.
As a maturing Christian, rest assured I know more now about what displeases God than I did when I first believed.

No, it is not. What it does require is sound theological understanding of what Scripture has revealed about the differences between supernatural angelic beings and all humans (other than Jesus of Nazareth, who was the God-Man).

LOL, you did not ask for what the Bible says about which groups have more knowledge about the things that displease God. And no reference to even one example was provided.

Romans 8:8 says those "in the flesh" cannot please God. This refers to people with their minds set on fleshly desires, worldly treasure, and ungodliness.

Genesis 38:6-10 provides an example of behavior that displeases God.

Do our posts build up believers with encouragement, or do our posts belittle others rather than their views?

Proverbs 24:17
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,
Otherwise, the LORD will see and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from him.

If we have a "holier than thou" attitude toward those following blind guides, what does it say about us?

My comments address the scriptural basis for what I believe displeases God. For you to erroneously claim these comments are not on topic certainly might displease those who value truth and integrity.

Here is the reason for the biblical support for what displeases God:

This is not the topic of this thread. What you hold to be the scriptural basis for what you believe displeases God does not answer the question of which of the 4 stated groups knows more about what displeases God. If you do not have anything of value to say about that question, the courteous and ethical thing to do is to stop commenting on this thread.

LOL, I addressed those questions, just read my posts. Your objection is based on animosity not reason, thus the courteous and ethical thing to do is to start addressing my contribution to the discussion.

LOL. You have done no such thing. You have not contributed anything of value to this thread. You are behaving unethically by continuing to make comments that do not have anything to do with the actual subject of the thread.

Folks, the posts are there for all to read. The denial of reality is truly sad. Just read post #4.

Post #4 was merely your baseless assertion without providing any biblical support for your claim.

I answered the question and you claimed I had not. And I have provided verse after verse demonstrating the biblical bases for God's displeasure which I had acquired through bible study in the years after conversion. See posts 6, 7, 8 and 9

Possible Answer
B. Mature Christians who have extensive life experience and a good working knowledge of Scripture

Actual Answer
As a maturing Christian, rest assured I know more now about what displeases God than I did when I first believed.

Romans 8:8 says those "in the flesh" cannot please God. This refers to people with their minds set on fleshly desires, worldly treasure, and ungodliness.

Genesis 38:6-10 provides an example of behavior that displeases God.

Proverbs 17:4

A liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

Again, you made a baseless assertion in post 4.

Furthermore, your providing support for what you believe to be a biblical basis for God's displeasure is totally irrelevant to the topic of the thread.

Posts 6, 7, 8, and 9 have zero content that pertains to the topic of the thread. The topic of the thread is not how a believer knows what is displeasing to God.

It is good that you know more now about what displeases God than when you first believed. That reality does not in any way prove biblically why B is the correct answer to the opening question.
