Interesting cos every single thing I've ever found on a creationist website has been a lie. I've yet to find a totally honest creationist. Does that mean that creationists are the real agents of satan? Now that would be interesting.
Jesus himself said that.
John 14:30
Amplified Bible (AMP)
30I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming. And he has no claim on Me. [He has nothing in common with Me; there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.]
Jesus is saying this
John 12:31
Amplified Bible (AMP)
31Now the judgment (crisis) of this world is coming on [sentence is now being passed on this world]. Now the ruler (evil genius, prince) of this world shall be cast out (expelled).
James 4:4
Amplified Bible (AMP)
4You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world's friend is being God's enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God.
The bible pictures false religions, as a prostitute. What it means is that they are in bed with the governments. The governments are pictured as a wild beast, because they have beast like rule over the people ( harsh treatment). That is why the world is like it is.
1 John 3:8
Amplified Bible (AMP)
8[But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].
That is why Jesus died on the earth. It answered Satan's taunt, that no one would serve God to the death, and because they wanted too.
What this means is that Satan is the ruler of the earth, for Christians it means that getting involved in governments and wars etc etc. is really being a friend of the world. As the bible says a prostitute, in bed with the governments.
We see many times religions causing wars or taking part in them.
If you think about it, if Christian religions, all refused to go into the military there would be no WW1 or WW2. But instead some Christian religions bless the weapons and militarily men. So what you have is men killing other men even in the same religions. Some times even their own family. It just depends on where you live. So that means men are loyal to their countries and not to God. That is why Jesus never got involved in leading the people as a government on the earth. If he did, he would be serving Satan, as Satan is the ruler. That is why the Jews hated him, they wanted him to lead them out of the situation with the Romans.
That also mean any death and sickness and imperfection, and all problems humans face today, are a result of Satan's rulership. People blame God but it is rally Satan that has done all of this.
2 Corinthians 4:4
Amplified Bible (AMP)
4For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers' minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.
That is why I said the scientists are not stupid, but they have blinded themselves. They don't even consider ID. So this scripture is accurate, they are blinded.
