The Devil is the God of this world.
He influences it.
If you are of the world, then you are of the Devil.

No there is no real supernatural world . Money and power rules the planet and this is not always good . Scripture is just a corrupt attempt to gain your support and manipulate you through it .
It's not guaranteed or even under warrantee. Beware of the fools paradise syndrome on the way to the bank and I trust you bank just like all of us.
peace out

#1 Yes, the bible calls satan the prince of this world.
#2 When the bible says do not conform to this world it means do not get so caught up in this world that you forget why you are here and who put you here. Do not forget that your duty is to God and everything that you do should glorify Him. The bible says do not set your sights on things that are seen, set your sights on things that are unseen, because the things that are seen are only temporary.

If you live for the flesh and the desires of the flesh, you are conforming to the world. Satan rules the evils.

I believe he could some day as this world is a battle between good and evil,it all depends on which side wins.The people who believe in good "gods people"and the evil ones the "devil's people".So be righteous,pray often to our Savior and it will be "Heaven on earth" instead of Hell on earth!!!!.

Yes for just a short time until Jesus Christ returns.
2co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
This verse said Satan is the god of this world.

Yes.
"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them" (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

This world is under the thumb of Satan. While He rules the world,he still is not allowed to do some things by God. Satan would kill us all if he had free reign.
