The devil and the demons are our real enemies, not humans, as Paul makes clear in Ephesians 6:10-20.

I don't know if these qualify as "themes," but here is my summary of the Bible's overall emphases: LAUNCHED like a boat with God's creation of humans. LOST in our self-centered rebellion, beginning with Adam and Eve. LOVED with Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. LANDED on the solid Rock...

We all need unity around the truths of God's Word, but heresies should not be any basis for unity.

Human nature has a desire to take credit, at least partly, for what it does. Instead of self-esteem, we need God-esteem.

I think so. It's just like a person who passes along negative gossip about people without checking it out with the people it is about.

I think that it depends on the amount of self-centeredness that is involved in our anger. If we get angry at injustice for God's glory and not at the unjust person, leaving that person to God to judge, I don't think it's a sin. However, very little human anger is selfless; self is usually involved.

Psalm 139 refutes such an interpretation of the Lord's Prayer. God is everywhere; yet his kingly presence rules from heaven with Jesus at the father's "right hand." Jesus has his body in heaven; yet he is also God, present everywhere.
