My point is moreover that how you are trying to convert him is more likely to push him away from God.
I disagree, I think that him knowing that I care about him and want him to feel safe and loved and do not see the worst him him and do not agree that he is doomed to be a Satanist forever is important
Idc, he needs to know that I care about him everyone else in his life just lets him do whatever he wants he needs someone to tell him that just because he is charismatic and good at "finessing" or whatever does not mean that he has to or should throw himself off of the cliff into eternal hell
as opposed to WHAT ? he is on a super self destructive path and I am just supposed to act like it is not freaking me out and upsetting me ? I already lost Satan, and I do not want to lose Michael too 😭 he is my SON
I could maybe try other strategies in addition to, what strategies would you recommend? "Ignoring the problem" is not one that I am willing to consider rn
there is a problem, It is that Michael is not taking his eternal salvation seriously and he is putting himself at risk for eternal damnation and I am very concerned
People tend to respond better to feeling heard and being understood, then once you understand them you can try to cater the message towards their individual tastes.
Just being like "Hellfire and Damnation if you don't listen to me!" will have people pick Hellfire and Damnation every time while you sit there frustrated over how no one's listening. They have to want to convert, which means it's up to you to find in that individual what's standing in their way and attempt to negotiate through their demons peacefully.

It's not up to you where he goes though, it's up to God.
