Well, I am not Rev Ernie, but I am a ministry student, so I'll take a stab!

The Greek word for evil embraces both physical and moral evil behavior.Two Greek words readily come to mind, which are: poneros {pon-ay-ros'}for EVIL, which has the idea of "evil which
results in sorrow." It refers to evil in general, not just Satan - See Matthew 6:22-24 �The bad eye� vs. 23 The bad eye here is literally the evil eye or the sinful
eye.

Also kakos {kak-os'} for EVIL THINGS is also a word used for "sick," such as in Matthew 4:24, and also in James Ch 3 means good-for-nothing.

The Greek word for Satan is Satanas: {sat-an-as-}and is of Aramaic origin. Also Teiten, and among other things it means �The Accuser.�

The Greek word for "devil" is diabalos (Matt 4:1). There are many demons, but only
one devil (diablos is always singular in Scripture) and also means "Slanderer."

Interesting parallels to another "Accuser" and "Slanderer" we know, eh?

Fireball,

This reference of yours from the big mouth of the Big Catfish is especially a case of the pot calling the kettle black, as who else but "hisownself" has ever really proclaimed the Big Catfish an EXPERT in any given area?

If having your own website and talk forum ALONE meets the requirements, then it is easy for anyone with a PC and some time to burn to become an expert.

If a group of non-expert groupies calling you an expert meets the requirements, then hospital patients have the authority to declare anyone present and popular enough an MD, and the monkeys in the lab have the authority to declare the janitor the scientist.

As it stands, peer review, such as appears in refereed publications, thorough testing of ideas and products, years of experience in turning out the product of one�s expertise, and a lot of documented EVIDENCE which stands up to analysis and examination by those with experience and knowledge to do so in a given field, this is what establishes one as an expert.

Mike Bellms work and concepts certainly have withstood such tests and criteria.
