"Is there really a
devil? The language of Jesus certainly indicates His own belief in
the existence of a personal devil. Jesus knew what He was talking
about. He knew many things about the invisible world that we know
nothing about. If Jesus was merely accommodating Himself to popular
error, His words are no revelation of truth at all, for who, then,
can discern between the actual truth that He is aiming to teach and
the error that He speaks as if it were the truth?"
