You know, it's people like you that make things that are so very very simple and easy into a really ridiculous mess, all because their pride won't let them be reproved.
So, Aaron's English grammar is, if the word rebuke is in a sentence from the first person, being spoken to the second person, the first person isn't rebuking the second person.
So Mr. Aaron, what exactly were Michael's words to Satan's ridiculous request? All your answers rebutt mine without saying exactly what Michael's words are termed...please define and term them with one word, without using any words of admonishment. Because if you do, you admit to them being a rebuke, which is a sharp admonishment. Make sure you keep the context intact with your defintion, which is two spirit creatures sparring and at odds with each other. DISPUTING is the exact Biblical word.

Synonyms: admonish, reprove, rebuke, reprimand, reproach
These verbs mean to correct or caution critically. Admonish implies the giving of advice or a warning in order to rectify or avoid something: “A gallows erected on an eminence admonished the offenders of the fate that awaited them” (William Hickling Prescott). Reprove usually suggests gentle criticism and constructive intent: With a quick look, the teacher reproved the child for whispering in class. Rebuke and reprimand both refer to sharp, often angry criticism: “Some of the most heated criticism... has come from the Justice Department, which rarely rebukes other agencies in public” (Howard Kurtz). “A committee at [the university] asked its president to reprimand a scientist who tested gene-altered bacteria on trees” (New York Times). Reproach usually refers to regretful or unhappy criticism arising from a sense of disappointment: “Every other author may aspire to praise; the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach” (Samuel Johnson).
You can be sure that during the dispute, Michael's words were said SHARPLY and with a bit of righteous ANGER in response to Satan's corrupted request.
