"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled is convincing the world he doesn't exist." I'm not saying I believe in the Devil. But if he did exist, he might like to persuade people that he didn't. And he might succeed in persuading some. Then these people would go around swearing there's no such thing as the Devil. So the fact that someone shows up here doing exactly that is no evidence either way.
How would you prove to yourself that something doesn't exist, anyway? The most you could say is that you never encountered it yourself.
I'm sorry but I don't agree with you. Can anyone prove that satan doesn't exist? Yes they can. I can and so can you.
Firstly, are you aware that, besides Jesus, there were *many* others around at the time who could also heal the sick and raise the dead? (Hmm... where did he drag that one from I wonder?).
OK. In the first instance, not once have we ever seen any real evidence that *anyone* called 'Satan' existed that was not of this world but was a part of it anyway. Secondly, if you research the origins of The Bible, (where we get Satan from) you will see that, most if not all of it, can be completely discreditted - including Satan along with that.
I only say this for those who would much prefer to research in the usual way and not my way Ok? It's all there - readily available to anyone who cares to look for themselves.
My way, is to - as I have just done above with Marty - is to actually face this 'Satan' thing - the thing that every Westerner fears most. (Which, by the way, Satan must have a fear of Easterners because there's no mention of him in their religious indoctrination is there? Or maybe they're not so easily led as we are eh? Perhaps that's it?). Go on your Ouija Board and call out *specifically* for him. When you do make contact with someone, what you'll find is that, although plenty of 'Satans' will turn up yet, when questioned about The Bible, NONE of them can repeat specific verses back at you. According to 'scripture' Satan can quote the Bible backwards can't he? Yeah right). NONE can tell you wheree Jesus body is (the *real* Satan could. Don't forget, he's the very next in line after God who knows more than any of us?) - or The Ark, or where Eden was/is or even what *the Tree Of life* ACTUALLY was and so on. Very soon, you'll notice that, either they go away or, they'll come back with all kinds of threats that they can never fulfil - but that the REAL Satan could *anytime* - and listen now - *without* waiting for you to get a silly board game out.
Question this Satan thing and you will see that, far from what I am 'saying' Satan does not exist.
Now, because you don't know me and so, know nothing about my work or what I have achieved with and through my board and, because you have so little actual practice of your own on your own board then, what I am about to say next wont mean a thing to you and may even sound just a tad off as well.
Never-the-less, I will say it anyway.
You have heard me say this before but, it must be repeated for the end bit Ok?
"I have been MUCH further than anyone else who has EVER lived before me" - In fact (and here's the end bit) I have been to the very BOTTOM of the lowest of lower plains in all existence and found nothing else there than a river. Next to that river was a huge wall - a wall, that is, of blackness - of oblivion. This means that, beyond that river, NOTHING ELSE exists. If I was to ever come across any Satan then NOW would have been a great time to do it. And, although there were millions upon millions entities down there of such an enormous negative power yet HE - Satan - was NOT there amongst them. Not only that but neither was hell either!
If you understood my research and of how long it's been going on then, you would know that, not only what I did was possible (and is actually done now) but that it is completely verifiable by *anyone* who cares to ask *anyone* from the higher places on the other side.
You see, the idea of me going that far was to prove, beyond all doubt that, my method, above all other methods before me, ALSO works. It works so well that, even if I did bump into Satan then HE would have to watch out for ME and not the other way around. And so, in knowing this, I can flat out challenge 'Satan' to do his best because even HE wont beat me!
What is more, so good is my method that YOU TOO could challenge him and YOU TOO would always win as easily as I do right now. Even if Satan EVER existed, I can beat him - and so can you. But, he wasn't there to beat in the first place.
Satan was invented by Rome as IT invented Catholicism through Saul of Tarsus - a former Roman soldier himself and a strict disciplinarian - hence the harsh discipline of that belief system. When you encapture people's minds, you can rule the world. And so, what do you suppose the Vatican does now? Satan was INVENTED in the first place. So, saying he doesn't exist is easy. But I didn't go that way. I went to meet him. And he wasn't there either.
So, whether you may 'believe' that I am about deception or not doesn't make a scrap of difference to me. I am saying that, IF Satan ever existed then he, nor his cohorts will ever bother me again or those who, along with me, find the truth - as IT is, for themselves.
It is not Satan that we fear the most.
It's The *Truth* we do. Why? God only knows.
Meantime, because I know what's there, I can also add with full confidence, there is *nothing* to fear at all.
