The Devil's Oldest Excuse: "It's God's Fault" (Ezekiel 28:15)
Exhibit AKey Evidence
- "Dad made everything, which means he made me who I am. God wanted the devil."
- That's the show's (Supernatural) Lucifer, and it's a lie. It's also the oldest excuse there is: it's not my fault, God made me this way.
- Scripture says God created him good. The evil came from inside him, not from God.
- Stop blaming. Confess, and come to the One who forgives.
Exhibit BFrom the Word
“You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.”
“Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.”
