My forensics coach and I were discussing the works of C.S. Lewis. Lewis was a professor of religious study, and he wrote a book called “The Sticktape Letters”. In the book, he debunked a long-standing myth; Many people think that God and the Devil are equals, two forces acting in counterbalance. We, as humans, assume this is true, because we look for the balance in the everyday things. HEAR THIS: GOD IS INFINITELY MORE POWERFUL THAN THE DEVIL! If you believe that God is the supreme being, you have to believe just that; the Devil is NOT God’s equal. Lewis wrote that the Devil is a sharp, shrewed businessman. He knows he can’t outsmart God, he cannot overpower Him, and he cannot outclass Him; He CAN, however, trick you out of believing in God. And he keeps trying all the time (in church, at home, at work, etc.). You’re not safe from the Devil’s tongue and his underhanded reasoning unless you know that God is the master and he can hold back the Devil.
