Default Any truth to this?
A couple of days ago my wife & & were going though some old boxes that we had laying around..I found some older books of mine I have been looking for. One of them is called A Delision Of Satan
by Francis Hill.

I never got the chance to finish it in the introduction she makes this statement.


Westren Christianty is unique among the monotheisms in the power it has attributed to the Devil. In Judaism Satan is firmly subservent to God & is never allowed to attain such near-omnipotent status. In Islam, Satan is either a trival creature, not to be taken seriously, or he will be forgiven on the last day; he can never be an ultimate threat & is no match from Allah. It would seem that Westren Christianty has never really attained that degree of confidence in their God.


Would love to hear the thought of the Christians on this or anyone else.

Some fundamentalists seem to attribute extraordinary powers to the devil.

The fundamentalist churches of my youth depicted Satan as extremely powerful, second only to God in power but only able to wreak havoc by divine permission, always ready to pounce upon the less vigilant to turn them from the right path.

Yes, and for god's sake don't send them any money.

I'm not aware of any Christian denomination that thinks that the devil is near omnipotent.

The Devil is only considered powerful in comparison to a human, whom stands no chance against him alone. In comparison to God, he is nothing.

When I was younger, like 14-16 years younger, I went to a church in Missouri where they taught that Satan is equal to God in power and knowledge.
