>>and that if the devil were fighting against himself, then that would be good news for all.<<

I cant really picture that Jesus meant to say, "And if I were the devil, that'd be good thing, anyway, because that'd mean I'm fighting against other demons." Nor would I think Abraham Lincoln would want to compare the United States to a kingdom of demons. BUt, hey, Lincoln could've misinterpreted the passage.

No, you at least have to give me that Jesus was explaining to people how it could be that he could command demons since he was not a demon.

Being God, He can command anything He wants.

That's kind of a weird stretch, my friend. they said He was exorcising demons by the power of Satan, not that He WAS Satan. he replied that if Satan is fighting himself, then he would fall. Your whole take on that passage is odd. I have never seen it before. It is uncatholic and an awful strain to support the "Zoro is the source of all" argument. I would drop it if I were you. But then, I am not you. Perhaps you have some unorthodox reasoning that is just not apparent to me.
