SATAN: THE FATHER OF ALL LIES – NAC:10

A few years ago I embarked on a journey of discovery about who/what Satan really was. I say it was a journey of ‘discovery’ because where I ended up truly was a perspective I NEVER thought I’d have about this so poorly miss-understood concept. Simply put… One of my favorite movie quotes comes from a movie called “The Usual Suspects”. “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” – Roger “Verbal” Kint (played by Kevin Spacey) While this is a really cool moment in the movie and is conceptually quite deep… the TRUTH is… The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he DID exist. SUMMARY What are the basic lies about who or what the devil is? What are the basic truths about who or what the devil is? Where do we get our doctrines about the devil? The devil may not be as basic of a concept as you think.
