The medium fell silent at his feet as soon as he began to speak. Reader 2: “Men of Sitahoeri, you have been deceived because the spirit which spoke through the medium just now was a lying spirit, Satan himself, and not the spirit of Siatasbaritas, your ancestor.

... underestimate our own capacity to sin without his help. Satan, after all, is a bumbler. He foils his own plans because he forgets he is a creature like us -- not a creator, not a divinity. There is only one true God. Yet Satan struggles on to deceive the church. He bumbles on showing the church the truth of his lies through his illuminating failures. Joseph: "Illuminating failures," isn't that what Lucifer means in a way: "The bright one?" Peter: Hey, that's right. I'd forgotten that old tale: The big pagan ...

... no division among you, but be made complete, in the same mind, in the same judgment. Did you wait eagerly for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ? For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let that person become foolish that they may become wise. For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power. You both are to be pitied. (Closes books) 1ST SAINT: (Looks down ...

How angry that made the Pharisees on the council. "You mean he has deceived you also?" they replied angrily. "Has any of us, the rulers of the people, believed in him?" I cringed, silently. You see, though I was one of the rulers of the people and as well-educated as any of them, I found myself more and more on Jesus' side ...

In a way, I shudder to think what may happen when our church folk learn how terribly they’ve been deceived by those who told them to leave Bible interpretation to the so-called experts.
