Is such a verse an invention of Protestant preachers? Did Paul say this? Peter, John, James? Is it in Hebrews?

1 Cor. 2:8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Never heard that as a quote, but I have heard it as an opinion in a sermon. What is meant is that Satan is pretty smart, but not all knowing like God. Had he known that Jesus dying on the cross would doom him to hell, would allow man an opportunity to be with God forever, would ultimately defeat all Satan's plans to claim all men's souls in rebellion against God....he would never allowed Christ to die on the cross. It's just a way to express how Satan goofed by letting that happen.

That's hilarious.
When confronted with the fact that jesus is a rip-off of earlier gods -

- various early church writers, such as Irenaeus (Bishop of Lyons; circa 120 CE to ?) Justin Martyr (Christian apologist; 100 to 165), Tertullian (Christian theologian; circa 160 to 220 +) concluded that the Pagan/Christian similarities were a Satanic attempt at "diabolical mimicry." Satan was said to have use "plagiarism by anticipation." That is, the Devil made a pre-emptive strike against the gospel stories centuries before Jesus was born. The reason was to confuse the public into thinking that Jesus was merely a copy of previous god-men. The goal was to demolish the credibility of Christianity in the people's eyes.
So... he must have known about it if he made up a lie about it centuries in advance...
Religion. You know it makes zero sense.

This verse is in First Corinthians, Chapter 2, verses 1-8. It says the "princes of this world," not Satan, but the princes of this world were influenced, somewhat like Judas was.

There is no verse to support this teaching. Nor is satan stupid as many believe or imply he is.
In ICor 2:8 the word 'princes' referes to the rulers of this earth - Kings, princes, etc...not to satan.

Satan did not do this, and no such thing is in the Holy bible.

I have never heard any Protestant preacher say this, and no it is not in the Bible. Are you Catholic?
