The Devil Is A Real Slandering Adversary

- The Evil One Rules The Fallen World And Operates Behind Human Agents.
- Begg points to John where Jesus calls him the ruler of this world and shows he can act through people like Judas.
Deception Through False Light And Worthlessness
- The Devil Uses Deceptive Identities Like Belial And An Angel Of Light.
- Paul calls him Belial (worthlessness/destruction) and warns in 2 Corinthians that Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light.
