There are some rather profound observations to be made about Judy's comment, and I wonder if they escape your attention. First, she makes a point that if trickery is all that Satan is about, then the theologizing that brings deceit deserves our attention all the more. It may actually deserve center stage, if lies, deceit, trickery is what Satan is about. Secondly, she brings forth a passage that uses the Greek word "dunamis" and attributes it to those who think they were doing many mighty works in the name of the Lord. This, mind you, was in direct reply to JD who claimed that because "dunamis" was not used in reference to Satan's power, then he must have no real power, but only fakes it. Matthew 7:22 (22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works [dunamis]? Isn't it amazing how she does this without even knowing Greek? But the Spirit knows Greek, doesn't he. :-) Peace be with you.
