And Here's proof the devil cannot interpret the bible correctly. "It is written, It is written, It is written."

While exegesis is the process of drawing out the meaning from a text in accordance with the context and discoverable meaning of its author, eisegesis occurs when a reader imposes his or her interpretation into and onto the text.
The Temptation of Jesus: Matthew 4:1-11
4) Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.”
4 But he answered, “It is written,
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”
"Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
He will command his angels concerning you,’ and,
‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, iSatan! For it is written",
'You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’ ”
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.

eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which
I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” (John 6:51)

than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of
death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace
of God He might taste death for everyone” (Hebrews 2:9)

there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly
introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who
bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves” (2 Peter 2:1)
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2
The Calvinist will say, "the whole world" and "all" do not mean "all"
and "the whole world," & that "everyone" does not mean "everyone."
Saying God is weak is another pretend rebuttal they offer

Metaphorically speaking, I didn't mean to cause this trend, figuratively speaking, of metaphorical postings.
I think what peacefulbeliever was saying is that the dead in trespasses and sins doesnt mean dead as in not able to act, but metaphorically dead.
U
I am just a little curious here. Does this cell include man and women who knowingly risk their lives for others.
In my short life I have known or have heard of people in my community (officers, firefighters, soldiers even a teacher intervened to save a student from a knife wielding student) who have died or almost died to save another, sometimes a total stranger.
Seems to me a person who knowingly risks their life is not so restricted in their behaviour patterns (nature) as you are suggesting.
