So are you saying that satan does not know he is a deceiver? And therefore not responsible for men being deceived? We know he knows Scripture. He tried to tempt Christ. We know that he is the accuser. We know that he goes around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he will devour. In order to deceive knowingly, one must know what the truth is that they are TURNING INTO a lie.

You're right. The truth is not in him, because he changes all truth into a lie. And he has from the beginning. That is not the same thing as saying he does NOT know what the truth IS. It is saying that he changes the truth to his lie. In order to deceive.

The Truth is immutable.

The truth is still the truth even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it. - Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Do you believe that satan knew who Jesus was when he tempted Jesus in the desert?

satan had know idea that Christ was God incarnate. To think otherwise is heretical!
