We have a struggle . . . against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.—Eph. 6:12.
One of the most heartwarming ways in which Jehovah shows his concern for us as his servants is by helping us to resist our enemies. Our main enemies are Satan and the demons. Jehovah warns us about these enemies, and he gives us what we need to resist them. (Eph. 6:10-13) When we accept Jehovah’s help and rely on him completely, we can succeed in opposing the Devil. We can have the same kind of confidence that the apostle Paul had. He wrote: “If God is for us, who will be against us?” (Rom. 8:31) As true Christians, we are not fascinated with Satan and the demons. We focus most of our attention on learning about Jehovah and serving him. (Ps. 25:5) However, we do need to know the basic ways that Satan operates. Why? So that we can avoid being outwitted by him.—2 Cor. 2:11; ftn. w19.04 20 ¶1-2

Why must you love your enemy? "flesh and blood" ~ Matthew 5:44
All mankind is influenced by Satan and his demons. That means you, me, people in high places, people in low places, it means...all Mankind.
While being crucified (meaning tortured and hung to die), why did Jesus ask Jehovah to "forgive them for they do not know what they are doing"? ~ Luke 23:34
Where they not being controlled by Satan?
I agree with the following article...
Why Did Jesus Suffer and Die?
Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.
And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs:
"Because we have a struggle, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places."
1 Corinthians 15:50
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
All teach doctrines that do not originate from the Bible. Jehovah allows light to come in, in a progressive manner. (Proverbs 4:18) That does not mean He will allow you to make false predictions nor come up with your own understanding of scripture then teach it as a false doctrine, that is what a false prophet does.~ Deuteronomy 18:20-22
Have you ever, as a trinitarian, told a Mormon, JW or others, that they weren't Christians because their view of Christ was different from yours? A trend that seems to be spreading among trinitarians.
Matthew 7:14
"Whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it."

Many are claiming that not all Bibles are the same...you are right and wrong. If you honestly compare Bibles, there really isn't much of a difference. The overall message is the same. I compare Bibles all of the time. BUT, when removing Jehovah's name from the Bible, that makes a huge difference in the sense that you have now removed the main character from the Bible...Jehovah ~ your God.
For he will have a longing
For the work of his own hand.
That means YOU. 💖
