Satan is the master of lies, yes? What if some of the words that are accepted as gospel, are actually Satan's lies?
How diabolical would it be if Satan convinced, and incited, the people of the world to have a massive all out war, thereby transforming Earth into a poisonous wasteland? What if it was Satan that said, "Be fruitful and multiply." knowing what overpopulation would do? What if Satan is the one that promised that Jesus would return and that, after Armageddon, He would restore the Earth to a paradise? What if Satan knew that people would be much less willing to destroy Mother Earth if they knew She could never be restored?
Jesus said about Satan: “He did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him.” Satan has not changed. He is still “misleading the entire inhabited earth” with his lies. (Revelation 12:9) But we do not want Satan to mislead us. So we need to know the answers to three questions. How is Satan misleading people today? Why do people lie? And how can we speak the truth all the time so that we do not lose Jehovah’s friendship, as Adam and Eve did?—Read Psalm 15:1, 2.
There's no "if" about it - Satan IS the master of lies! The subtlety of how he ever so slightly changes what God actually said to a distortion is shown in the pages of the Bible, starting in Genesis. God said to the first couple regarding procreation, "FILL the Earth" - not over-fill it! Now here you are, whispering in our ears the idea that Satan might have given the green light to be fruitful and multiply to the point of overpopulation! Satan cannot authorize procreation for he is but a creature himself, who cannot procreate (not being human).
God has already warned us (in Revelation 11:18) that He will destroy those destroying the Earth. We have a God-given mandate to care for Earth and its resources (including not over-populating it, but sticking to filling the Earth). Only those persuaded by the subtle lies of Satan disregard their God-given duties.
