Be Careful Dear Brother.
The devil can NOT perform a miracle ,he can NOT move the forces of nature,he can only perform signs ,wonders and illusions.
Only God can provide a true miracle and move the forces of nature.
“The devil can NOT perform a miracle”
I understand your fascination with the fathers and your antipathy with sola scriptura, but sometimes scripture does get it right.
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
