when someone claims that God showed them something outside the bounds of Christian belief, SOME Christians call it the work of Satan? If your answer is that God would never do that, then aren't you limiting God's wisdom?

How can God show anyone something.....and it be the work of Satan?
That's an illogical statement.
God's wisdom cannot be limited. Any person who claims to know everything about God's wisdom is ridiculously deluded in my opinion.

What is wisdom? Who/What is God? We haven't even fully answered those questions yet.
We also couldn't even claim things to be as such (Satanic, beyond the bounds of God's wisdom, etc.) because, whether we like it or not, religion is MAN-MADE. We gave existence to a God which/whose existence has not yet been proven. Religion has been fashioned by a certain society in such a way that it justifies its economic setup. Therefore, there is no universal satanic or good or bad wisdom, it really depends on who made what religion.
My point? Why ask questions which do not really answer the root? Why ask about somebody/something's wisdom whose/which existence has not yet been clearly laid out and defined? Why not ask why religion is such? Then you go back to economics (what I mean is, a sociological, historical-critical sketch is a much better perspective when dealing with things like this).
Then we'll all realize that we have to look at this aspect of life first before going out to another aspect. Or, rather, study sociology. ^.^
Hope I'm not confusing you more.

That christ was great man I conceed, but I dont know what could be outside of gods bounds, so I dont get hung up on the point.
Even if there was a Satan, then he would be within the confines of god, so again, I dont get hung up on it.

Nice shot. This all goes to the hypocrisy of religion. God gets the credit when things go good and the devil/satan gets the blame when it goes bad.

Personally I think God wants us to question, questioning is good, it means you are growing, and God does want us to grow in wisdom
