Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Yes, there is the true Christ and false Christs; there are true prophets and false prophets.

But this doesn't negate the fact that false prophets cannot lead us to Christ, otherwise Satan's kingdom would be divided against itself, as Christ tells us.

Can Satan lead people to faith in Christ? Will he work wonders to lead people to Christ?

What do you say?

Jesus had harsh words for those who attributed his miracles to the working of Satan.

To a false Christ which most people will think is the true Christ? Absolutely! The Christ of Catholicism isn't the Christ of scripture. The Christ of scripture paid the full price. The Christ of Catholicism only paid for past sins and "opened the door". The Christ of scripture paid the price "once for all". That Catholic Christ pays the price continually in an ongoing sacrifice.
