Lance I'm still waiting for you to prove heresy or
repent for calling me a 'heretick'
I say it has not been proven yet that there was no
cause for alarm
However, if in fact it was a lie and GWB was deceived
the ball is in Satan's court
If he is by nature a prevaricator - the ball is
still in Satan's court because he would be walking after the flesh
in which dwells no good thing. jt
I'll 'kill two birds with one stone'. (Judy &
Terry) IFF GWB actually lied about the WMD who is responsible for this? 1.
Satan whom you describe and the 'father of lies'. 2. GWB himself who might
(please note that I said MIGHT) have lied.
Not at all Lance; who is the 'father of
lies'? If a person is motivated by a 'lying spirit' then who
would
you say is behind what they speak? Why did
Jesus tell the Jews who prided themselves on being
children of Abraham that they were of "their father
the devil"? Wasn't it because the truth was
standing right there in front of them and they
chose to believe the lie? If evil does not come from
the devil then where does it come from? Who
is the one who comes to "steal, kill, and destroy?" jt
IFF a politician lies (say the President of
the United States) and thereby millions around the world are deceived, are
we then to attribute this to Satan or, to the man himself. Also, what if
that one (President) is a professing believer?
Why am I doing this? Not for the fun of it.
There is altogether too much attribution of evil to Satan,
IMO.
I am not saying that Satan is
responsible for all evil, Lance. In the past, I have
been guilty of much evil using my own talents. Had the Lord not saved
me, I would have had to pay for those evils. Satan would not have
been guilty, I would, and the punishment I received I would have
deserved.
Still, Satan is alive and well and has a boatload of
demons acting in his behalf. It is my belief that when a great lie
is told and millions believe it, it is not the lie of a man, but of the
father of lies,, working through a willing servant.
This is not
carved in stone, but give the devil his due.

=================================================================
It
seems very reasonable to assume that Satan is behind the scenes in
both religions, Lance.
He is the enemy of God, so he wants to
lead people away from a relationship with God. He is a
deceiver. That is his role in this plan of which we are all a
part.. He is a liar and the father of lies. He, having
thousands of years of experience and a more evil mind than any man,
is able to come up with much more believable lies than men can
invent. To assume that Mohammed or Joe Smith were not his
willing vessels would be to vastly underestimate his
influence. Never underestimate your
enemy.
