Huh. Is that why Satan *quoted* Scripture at Jesus to tempt Jesus?

He misquoted it and Jesus correctly quoted it right back thus defeating him with it.

The word is the first thing Satan attacked when he tempted Eve int he garden. He said *Did God REALLY say....??????*.

And that's just what Catholicism does when they downplay the authority of God's word and denigrate it to nothing more than written down tradition.

And the way Catholics argue against it's authority is also the work of the enemy. Don't get sucked into believing his lies.

The sword of the Spirit is the word of God and the only offensive weapon the Christian has at his disposal as listed in Ephesians 6.

You're utterly wring about the Sword of the Spirit being the only offensive weapon.

Jesus himself told the disciples, when they could not cast out a demon, "This kind comes not out but by prayer and fasting."

Exorcism is offense, not defense.

Another key point....Satan took Scripture out of context whereas Jesus quoted Scripture IN context!

Jesus gave the model on how to handle Scripture.

Poor Satan. Everyone picks on him.

He merely INTERPRETED it the way it SHOULD have been done.


(Makes me wonder how he would have stated, "Call no man father.")
