The thing about being deceived by Satan is,
you don't know your deceived!
How does a fundamentalist Christian know that aren't deceived and should be Jews or Muslims, or Hindu's or whatever?
I've been thinking about blogging on this point.
It seems that Christian demonology undermines Christianity because even if they say the evidence looks good to them they can't disprove that Satan is just deceiving them.
Just as no one could really prove that Satan is not deceiving them when apologists make the claim that they are, Christians cannot disprove that they are deceived.
The witness in their spirit just might be the devil.
So since by their religious claims there is an equal chance that their religious claims are crap their religious claims are crap!
It is an interesting point.
God exists and is certainly infinitely more powerful than Satan.
For God to judge people He must have declared His laws and the basis of salvation.
So God's truth must be somewhere.
The Bible does prove itself.
So that argues strongly for it is the truth.
