It's debatable if "Satan" is shown lying... but there is no doubt that "god" is a fucking liar.
This, of course, was bullshit. The Davidic dynasty even in the story book that is the bible did not last 4 centuries...let alone forever. Thus, god's promises are like those of any ersatz politician. Worthless. And, since believers claim he "knows all" that means he knew he was lying which makes him an even bigger scumbag than some politician who simply reacts to whichever way the wind blows.
Quote:12 “When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men. 15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you.[b ] Your throne shall be established forever.”’”
17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
