>>>> It should be no surprise that Satan counterfeits everything God does
Got a scripture for that?
Many. II Corinthians 11:13-15 speaks of such:
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
I think this is obvious to anyone who does any amount of study of cults and world religions. It should be no surprise that Satan, who from the start sought to replace Almighty God, would also try to lure the objects of God's love (mankind) away from him. Unfortunately, he doesn't run around in red PJs with horns and a pitchfork, easily identified. No, he masquerades as an "angel of light" and his demons as "ministers of righteousness". He is a "roaring lion" who walks about seeking who he may devour. Just as he used trickery and deceit to entice Adam and Eve to sin, he STILL uses those guiles today and people STILL fall for it. Our ONLY protection is the full armor of God.
We are advised in Ephesians 6:10-13 about what that armor is intended for, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
That "armor of God" is:
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Eph. 6:14-18)
