That Satan himself doesn't really masquerade as God? His greatest deception was the bible. He would have been able to make near impossible to refrain from sin.

He cannot predict the future and he cannot create life among many other things. So the evidence of the Bible points to the true God. Mark 3 says that we should not attribute the workings of the Holy Spirit or God to Satan because that is blasphemeing against the Holy Ghost. One of the greatest deceptions that Satan employs if you were wondering is the one that he doesn't exist at all.

There is no question whatsoever that if the bible is even close to being accurate, Jesus is Satan. It's also possible the entire bible was inspired by Satan.
But, those who worship Jesus, the bible, a church, a preacher, or the words they speak are definitely going to hell.
Satan's favorite weakness is vanity. Vain people believe their feeble prayers are more powerful than Satan. And, they use the book he inspired to support that vanity.
Satan has a really easy job given the stupidity of humans.
Fortunately for them, the bible is a book of mythology.

Satan or the devil is the greatest invention and fraud ever invented by man. just check out this thought-provoking observation....if God is the ever most powerful, intelligent, all this is source that created life...why would he want to create his oppisite? to test us humans? what kind of a God is that? Sounds pretty neurotic to me. Satan was invented by man to keep man in check, to maintain a certain behavior
like fear in man,...to use as a scapegoat "The devil made me do it!".
How sad that man has not figured this out yet.
and anyone that responds to this with a "but the bible says...and this verse here says..." get out of that mentality...God never ever said..."and now, behold..I create the devil to keep you all in line because I need for you to behave or else.." God is not a jealous God, an angry and vengeful God...these are the greatest misconceptions ever invented by man.

The Bible became written by men that the Holy Spirit, the third individual of the HOly Trinity, guided to evangelise and write. devil's powers are restricted. He did divide the Church that Jesus began with the 12 apostles. this is why the real Church, the Catholic Church, became torn and Christianity now has enormous quantities of denominations. Jesus began one church, men began each of the others. We, any and all of mankind, won't be able to try the Holy Spirit. it is a sin interior of itself. It deliver forth doubt and mistrust to our ancestors, our moms and dads, our monks, our popes, the authors of the Bible, and subsequently God HImself. devil can no longer make us sin, he can in straight forward words placed temptations infront human beings, like he did with Eve. when we listen issues about faith, we favor to desire to the Spirit for the present of discernment and then he will teach us what's real and what's fake. this is type of like even as a baby asks his verify a question and he can opt for to believe or now to not. He can believe his moms and dads answer by have self assurance and having faith in his verify and understanding afterwards, by journey and what he hears others say if his verify instructed him the reality or no longer. sure, some cases the devil places lies infront human beings. and typically all of us comprehend that is a lie proper from the start and typically we stumble on out later it became a lie. once all of us comprehend it became a lie, we favor to reveal back to God and locate the reality. even as God supplies us the reality, which He continually does proper from the start, we comprehend it and performance no doubts in a while. it really is how faith grows, i imagine. God not in any respect well-knownshows our sins amusing. He cries for us, His little ones, corresponding to I made my moms and dads cry after I did incorrect issues (huge or small). He created us and needs us all with Him yet He has given us the opt for to love Him or deny Him. i'm certain it demanding for Him yet this is what love is, unconditional love supplies freedoms. God bless!

Who is Satan, anyway? Has anyone ever seen HIM? Can any one whatsoever prove that he exists - except in our meek, weak and feeble minds?

We need to listen to our hearts. I am certain that when we make decisions in life when we have peace in that decision, it is God showing us the way. There cannot be peace if the devil is involved in our decision making. When you aren't sure about something pray about it - the devil cannot interfere here.
