More exciting discoveries right out of God’s word .
Joel:
The way I see it Satan is the leader (god) of the blind, those that are deceived, and in darkness. The nations as a whole, and all false religions. Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
He had no power over JESUS, because Jesus is the LIGHT of the world, the Word made flesh, the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, The SON of GOD.

Hi Alex.
It’s interesting that Satan offers Christ all the kingdoms of the word but scripture clearly states that God owns the world, could it be that Satan has also been deceived even by God ?
Its obvious Satan believes he owns the world by his statement I will give you all the kingdoms of the world but God says the world belongs to him, could it be that God owns the world but Satan owns the kingdoms of the world ?
But then I must ask, who raises up kings to rule these kingdoms ? God right. So, Satan is being deceived by God thinking he owns the kingdoms of the world.
Anyways you make some good points too but just because Satan says something, in reality it means not much because Satan is a liar so I put no trust in what he says or says he owns.

--- Quote from: Michael G on March 23, 2015, 11:00:33 PM ---2 Cor 4:4, The god of this world... Just can't stop thinking about the god of this world before his conversion! Any how just some thoughts!
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
Eze 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Psa 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Psa 82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
Any thoughts here?

Great additions Micheal.
I see now that Satan can certainly be the god of this world but that he is only doing according to what God has planned (Eph 1:11, Ecc 3:17, Dan 4:25). The evil he commits can only be within the boundaries that God has framed (Jeremiah 18:11). So nothing is out of God's control but satan is doing what he was created by God to do (Isaiah 54:16, Job 26:13).
God bless,
Alex
