Satan's Lies
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Genesis 3:4  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Though Satan tells Eve, "You will not surely die," God corrects this lie in Genesis 3:19: "In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return." William Gray Taking It Through the Grave

Job 1:6-7  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Was he just telling another lie? He was traveling back and forth on the earth, and he described it as walking. When he came before God, it was some other place than the earth. Where does God reside? The Bible names heaven as the only place of God's abode. So Satan must have left the earth and traveled to be in God's presence because this conversation did not take place on the earth. John W. Ritenbaugh Image and Likeness of God (Part 3)

John 8:44  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) A quick look at this world reveals that its loyalty is to Satan, who influences and rules it. He lies from the very depths of his character. In contrast, God does not and cannot lie, for truth is a primary attribute of His character (Hebrews 6:17-18; Numbers 23:19). Martin G. Collins The Ninth Commandment

John 8:44  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Notice that Christ pointedly tells these people that they want to do what their spiritual father does. In addition, he speaks what is natural to him. There is a strong drive in all of us to follow the path of least resistance, that is, to do what comes naturally. John W. Ritenbaugh Revelation 2-3 and Works

John 8:44  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Just as surely as a person on drugs eventually wants to take the drug because he is enslaved by it, sin has an addictive quality. Satan knows very well that if he can get us to sin once, there is a strong possibility he can get us to sin again and again and again until we are eventually enslaved by it and cannot help ourselves. Satan's lies produce death through sin, and they are deliberate attempts to wipe us out. Satan is a cold-blooded life destroyer. We can look at "life" in two ways: in terms of physical life ending in death and quality of life. What is so sad is that he seems to have such an easy time in getting people to swallow the lie that it will somehow be better to disobey God than to obey Him. John W. Ritenbaugh Satan (Part 2)
