Yes , Satan is God of this world. Yes, Paul was inspired of God. How do you get to the conclusion that Paul may have been following Satan? Every good and perfect thing comes down from thew Father of lights.

I am Jehovah´s Witness and learnt when i was a child the letter of 1 John 5:19 : We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one. And also 2 Corithians 4:4:among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, I always remember both verse.

Yes in the bible Satan/Lucifer was thrown down to the earth. Satan is the ruler of this world; He is God of this earth. Why, because Adam gave up that right when he ate the apple Eve gave him. So Satan, after being cast down because of the war in heaven, which he started, tempted Adam, tricked him. So the devil stole the right, to rule the earth, because of sin.
The devil/Satan/Lucifer roams the earth, with his fallen angels, waiting to devour someone’s soul.
Yes Satanist worship the God of this world, his name is Lucifer!
Paul was inspired by the God of the universe, his name is Almighty God. God Almighty has given us a choice whether we worship and live Satan's ways, which is the ways of this world, greed, hate, envy, lust homosexuality, bisexuality pornography the new age movement etc, or, we worship Almighty God, he is not of this world. It is easy to follow Satan because our flesh. Our flesh belongs to this world and will rot in the ground when we die. It's hard to follow the one true God (Jesus Christ) because we are up against the flesh and the flesh wants to live the ways of this world because it's easy! To truly follow Almighty God ( Jesus Christ) is a daily sacrifice we need his help and we must pray all the time for his help to get us through, the reward is amazingly great and beyond human words. Eternal life in Heaven, the new heaven will be beyond your wildest expectation.
Who do you follow?
Luke 10:18: Read all of it.
God Bless you!!

Satan was given the earth he was kicked out of Heaven
We worship God he is not in this world but a spirit that is in Heaven and his spirit is within us
That is true worship
Church of Satan worships Satan and he will take their souls

Yes, we most assuredly do live in a world that is under the authority of an evil ruler. Originally God created Adam and his race to rule over creation. But Adam forfeited his position of authority through sin , and Satan became the rebel holder of authority to whom Jesus referred as ' the ruler of this world ' (John 12:31; 14:30 ; 16:11) During Jesus' temptation, the devil offered Him " all the kingdoms of this world, and their glory" ( Matt. 4:8) in exchange for his worship.
Satan's claim that the earth " has been handed over to me and I will give it to whom ever I wish " (Luke 4:6) was no lie! He took authority when Adam abdicated the throne of rulership over God's creation at the fall.
Satan ruled from Adam until the cross. The death, rersurrection, and ascension of Christ secured forever the final authority for Jesus Himself (Matthew 28:18). That authority was given to all believers in the Great Commission so that we may continue His work of destroying the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8).
When we were all born we were born spiritually dead and subject to the " Prince of the power of the air" (Ephesians 2:2). But when we received Christ [became Christian], God " delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the Kingdom of His beloved Son". (Colossians 1:13) Satan is the ruler of this world, but he no longer " OUR" ruler, for Christ is our ruler!
But as long as we live on the earth, we are still on Satan's turf. He will try to rule our lives by deceiving us into believing that we still belong to him.
Thankfully our eternal destination is secure and that we do have the armor of God when we need protection. I'm so glad to have accepted the truth and received Christ.

Bible: New International Version (NIV)
Ephesians 2:2:
in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

2 Corinthians 4:4:
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
I don't know about the Church of Satan...sounds kinda scary...
Yes. Paul was inspired by God...
Bible: Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition. (DRA)
2 Timothy 3:16,17:
All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, that the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

It is basically stating that God gave Satan the power to rule over this world and tempt humans. So yes Satan is ruling over the world right now but he can not do anything still without the permission of God. Nothing happens without it going through God first, not even Satan can tempt you without getting God's permission. When Jesus comes back a second time then Jesus will be ruling over this world and there will be peace.

It does and that’s a trace of the original christianity (the gnostics), and they believed that Yahweh was the devil (an ignorant demi-god who thought he was the highest god). There are many gnostic doctrines throughout the NT but Christians typically ignore them or explain them away. Here's a good example…
John 3:14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
In other words, Jesus was a serpent. More specifically, Jesus was an Ophite gnostic and they venerated the serpent because she was the cause of “original enlightenment”.

Well, I wouldnt say God of this world, but he was ruler after Adam fell. Like basically the Devil took the place that Adam had, he got dominion over this Earth. Its illustrated in the book of Job when the Satan goes to the meetings in heaven as a representative for the Earth (Job 1). But after Christ came to Earth and died on the cross, He took our place as our sacrifice and became the new Adam, the new Ruler. Romans 5:12 - 19 (NKJV) 12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) 18Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
It was basically the act of God taking back what was rightfully His in the first place. And as far being the representative for us in the Heavenly meetings, well right after Jesus ascended from Earth He beat the Devil and kicked Him out of Heaven for good. read Revelation 12
