The Bible shows that Satan makes himself appear as "an angel of light". In other words, he is able to make things appear true and pure, whereas they are really false and demonic. (2 Corinthians 11:14, 15) His ministers teach lies about God. Like these for example:
The Lie: Hell is a place of eternall fiery torment.
The truth: God does not over-punish the wicked. The wages sin pays is death, not life in eternal torment. (Romans 6:7, 23; Genesis 3:19). He wouldn't torment someone for eternity for sins they commited while on earth for around 70 years. They simply die and are no longer in existence (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10)
The Lie: (when a child dies) God picks the prettiest flowers to be with him in heaven.
The truth: God does not take children from their parents. All humans are sinners and thus all humans are under a death sentence, even children (Romans 5:12). Sometimes, the death of a child is accidental or due to the faulty ways of mankind, such as murder(Ecclesiastes 8:9; 9:11)
