I am continuing my posts of some quotes that I read recently...
This is Stanley A Ellison on Satan's work in the world...
"His goal in life is to counterfeit the works of God. This has been his prized ambition ever since he went into business for himself. His first recorded intention ended with the words, "I will be like the Most High" (Isa. 14:14). This counterfeiting effort is his most effective ploy, for the more closely he can imitate God's work, the less likely will we be inclined to seek God or pursue His will."
(p. 18 Perspectives on the World Christian Movement)
This is an interesting statement when you think about how much other religions and thoughts borrow principles from faith in God. In college I took a world religions course and I was struck by how similar other religions are to Christianity. That's Satan's ploy, to make all religions look the same, because if all ways lead to God, then people get confused and in the end the do not find the way to God...which is Jesus!
