Maybe he just told a bunch of gullible folks that God wrote them.

I'm sure of it. Seriously In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

I've already asked this question and apparently the answer is "no Satan can't have written the Bible" because Satan loses at the end of the story and the Bible tells how to worship God. seems tho Christians can imagine that such entities exist they can't imagine that their duality driven god is both his own good and his own evil.and tho in the myths their deity performs some extremely violent, unjust and heinous acts it can not occur to them that their god and their devil is one in the same. their holy book even has their god saying such things as ...
1Ki 22:23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
Jdg 9:23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
but nope. their god can not be the deceiver. go figure.

God defeated Satan on the cross 2006 years ago. Do you actually think that God would allow Satan to deceive us this much? God wrote the Bible and it shows by the existence of the Jews, current catastrophes happening in the world today, etc. God is the most powerful of the two; Satan is only a creation but God always existed before we knew time began. The Bible will exist after Satan has been banned to Hell with his demons (fallen angels). Believe what you want to believe but I KNOW that God wrote the King James Bible in English for me to know Him. I think that you are the gullible one because you are deceived. Your question is a lie from Satan himself. Seek God and you will know the truth. Thank you for your question.

all of us recognize devil because the daddy of lies. With better than one opponent, there are sure to be contradictions. I’d could assume if there have been a conflict, all gamers would have equivalent time on the taking section in container. In Matthew 4:a million, “Then Jesus became led up by skill of the Spirit into the wasteland to be tempted by skill of the devil.” So, right here we can see that devil certainly spoke to Yeshua. a lot of human beings ignore that devil too had a voice. besides the actual shown reality that we've self belief that he became by some skill issued a gag order, it style of feels available that a number of his messages would have slipped by. do all of us have self belief that we are so attuned to the voices of God and devil that lets decipher between both? Out of each of the messages we've received, what are the opportunities that 100% of them got here only from God? And if devil did communicate would he introduce himself as devil or misrepresent himself as God? As they say, all is honest in love and warfare.

Satan is the greatest deceiver of all. No, he did not write the Bible; but, I can tell you that Satan knows scripture better than most people do. The deceit is already here. Scripture tells us that in the end times Satan will be booted out of heaven and will come down to earth. He will set up a one-world government and there will be peace and prosperity for all (all who will worship him) The great deceit is that he's not coming to earth to be a red-handled pajama with a pitch fork mean guy who will kill christians, etc. NO. He's coming back pretending to be Jesus Christ. He's gonna look like that picture of Jesus Granny has in the living room. He'll do away with poverty and seemingly it will be a wonderful time - seemingly. The deceit of course is that he's NOT Christ. When he appears performing miracles in the sight of all people, etc, people by the millions, of all faiths, will swarm to worship him and love him. The savior has returned!
Big revival for sure. God the Father is always in control. He will allow this deceit, because in the Scriptures he told of this very event over and over and over again. Anybody who has taken the time to find out what the Word REALLY SAYS will not be deceived. They will now exactly who he is, and will denounce him. Those who have NOT taken the time to read the letter God has sent (the Word) will not know, and will worship him as the returning messiah. When Christ arrives here (AFTER that event)
Those people who have worshipped antichrist will be so utterly ashamed that they will pray for rocks to fall on them and kill them rather than to face God. This will be esspecially true of many ministers you hear preaching on tv today. The "Rature" is not in the Bible at all. In fact, God states in Ezekial 13 that "he hates those who teach my children to fly to save their souls". These yahoos who think they are going to fly out of here before antichrist comes will be deceived FIRST because they are going to think that its God come to rapture them out. Its sad. Instead of listening to God, they would rather listen to some man. Remember: "ANTI Christ" in Greek does NOT mean against -
it means "INSTEAD OF Christ" . Satan comes disquised as Christ. Very deceiving.

Once you accept the idea that there are invisible magic beings flying around fighting for the attention of humans, you no longer have a footing in reality from which to make any determination about these beings. You get to invent whatever fairy tale pleases you. That's what faith is all about.

That would be the Koran. Those who say that the Bible is deceptive are simply misinformed. But the Koran claims to agree with the Bible, while at the same time denying its Truth. You can't have it both ways.

Never thought about it. You could be right. I do not need the bible to have a close connection with God. All i use is the psalms and i am happy.

It seems that all the Christians who actively look for their satan to point the finger of righteousness at always look outside their own flock; never within.
