How could those spirits that encounter Christ deny that he was in the flesh, when he was right there in front of them ?
It just proves all the more , that ? Jesus Christ is the Messiah, GOD in the flesh, he was right there, in front of everyone... how could they deny that he came in the flesh ?
Can the devil ? or even demons lie ? speak lies while GOD is right in front of them ?
Are not the demons ? the devil forced to speak the truth when they are being judged by GOD ?
Does not the bible tell us that a day is coming that every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD.
The devil and demons may try to lie to us, but, they can never lie to GOD in his face.. is that a correct assumption ?

The Scriptural testing of the spirits according to whether they confess that Jesus is God, CAME IN THE FLESH, died for our sins, rose again etc.

is, imho, the test mortals are called to make, discern as OUR safety criteria.

OF COURSE, ALL CREATION must be truthful in God’s express Presence. imho.

I don't know.

The rules are different for Angels. They can not be redeemed so the fallen are lost forever and know it. They only have the power that God allows them to have, for example Jesus Christ tells an Angel to bind Satan and thrown him in the pit and it is done. Satan can't resist. So I'm sure if they are told to tell the truth they must.

But it seems to me that they can do all kinds of things to humans that are lost.
