In it God tells those that are following Satan that he will always allow them to have a leader because they listen to their father. He seems to admire them for that and in doing so is admonishing us for not being as good a child as they.

This one, perhaps?

Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. John 8:43-45

Not terribly "admiring" if that's the one you had in mind....

Note that, after the offending lines, he goes on to say: "Wait a minute! How can so many contradictory statements be based on the teachings of one book?"

I read past the "wait a minute" but even there he didn't correct his "hook" with saying those statements aren't given like that in the Bible. It just seems to be very misleading.

John 8:43-45 - Not terribly "admiring" if that's the one you had in mind....

Thank you for trying to find it but, no, that isn't the one. It'll probably come to me in the middle of the night, if at all. It seems the older I get the more often that happens.
