ArchivedThe Devil the Father of all lies :: The Devil:Father of ALL LIES!!!The Devil:Father of ALL LIES!!! "Satan, the Great Deceiver" God did not exist. God is assumed to exist. This God is said to be all-powerful and all loving However, Evil also would seem to exist Either God cannot or will not remove evil from this world If he cannot, he is not the all-powerful one If he will not, he is not the all loving one Evil exists in this world Therefore God does not exist! This argument is in fact nonsense. However, the fact that it was used at all does reflect something of the confusion of this world and of the people who live in it. Well, what does this have to do with our topic "Satan the Great Deceiver"? It is at the very heart of this statement. As Christian people, we know that God and evil are far more complex than this little argument can express. We know by faith and experience that God is not only real, but that he is the reason that the universe continues to exist. Sadly we cannot forget the other reality that is so ridiculously dealt with by this argument - Evil does exist, it is not imaginary or simply the result of an 'argument'. The Macquarie Dictionary defines the word 'deceit' as: 1. "The act of practice of deceiving; concealment or perversion of the truth for the purpose of misleading; fraud; cheating." 2. "An act or device intended to deceive; a trick; stratagem." The word 'deceive' as: "To mislead by a false appearance or statement; delude". Either the Lord is your Master or the Devil is, the choice is our own free will.
