No, he isn't that stupid, Wasn't he also powerful enough to tempt our lord for 40 days? Off course he was, so just who do we think we are, to see him as irrelevant?
But, let us see him for what he is, and we will be able to withstand his sustained, subtle onslaught. He is not going to tell you to stop being charitable, no, that would be way too obvious. He would tell you that you should continue with your commendable work, but just not tonight, since its cold outside, so, tomorrow when its warmer, you could start up energized, You see, he is hoping that you or the homeless person will die tonight, seriously, he doesn't know when we will die. To me that sounds more like him.
Amazing how many miss the point entirely. Even Jesus disciples never caught on. God loves his creation which is perfect beyond comparison, why on earth would he want to destroy it? However, the world which has to come to an abrupt end, is the worldly or carnal mind of man.
Perhaps the only tiny flaw which He allowed, was to grant us choices. We can choose the carnal temporal, which comes to a complete full-stop sooner or later. Or, we can choose to gather up the spiritual gifts, patience, charity, tolerance, kindness and meekness, all of which we can store up inside our minds, i.e. heaven, where no moth, rust etc can corrupt.
Strangely, when we start to ponder on these words, we come to a new and more excellent understand of the scriptures, We read about spiritual wickedness in high places which is the mind of man, is this not also the place of Jesus, crucifixion? Golgotha, "Mount of the skull? Suddenly we no longer face the impossible dilemma of seeking first, for the kingdom of heaven, not the imaginary one up in space somewhere, Who has access to a Space-shuttle?
We stop being plagued by man made demons, but see Satan as God had created him? Extremely attractive, guilty of one thing only, daring to instruct or teach his creator, Not the scaly, horned creature, artists of the children's illustrated Bible and Hollywood has created, who would be stupid enough to be deceived by him? But beware of him who comes as an angel of light, hiding right here in plain sight of everyone, who would rather believe the hocus-pocus nonsense, while he just goes right ahead tripping up the masses who refuse to believe the lie coming from the mouth of a pretty face, or hiding within the ranks of religion?
Another thing he is famous for, is lies, yet I wonder about that sometimes, is he not also embodied in the guise Of your friend, the nice guy who apparently has your best interest at heart, or the guy who tells you, that it would be okay to jump the red traffic light. since everyone else is doing it and besides, its 12 midnight, and no one is in sight etc. Which one would worry you more, the guy with the scaly skin and horns, or the well groomed, attractive one that has the so called good intentions?
