Desdemona helped me to understand what was meant.... as you say the existence of, not a belief in the entity of the devil. Sorry I am tired tonight and trying to get caught up on what is going on in this world and it struck me odd in the words used. And I am not disagreeing with the existence of the devil just needed clarification that I understood what was being said. Thanks.
Believe in the existence and fear Satan, etc., but don’t worship. There’s a big difference.
