How Can You Be Sure That God And The Devil Are Who The Bible Says They Are?

Have you ever wondered why everything that is so damned wrong feels so damned good? I have.

I was wondering, what if God really was the Devil and the Devil was the true creator? It would make more sense. Why would we be forbidden to enjoy the senses endowed to us by the very person that created them in the first place? Why would sex feel so good if it's only meant for procreation without recreation? Why would he create women so beautiful and then say not to admire their beauty?

What if we are meant to master the pain and pleasures of the physical realm to prepares us for the next one? And somehow, the wrong entity is winning the battle? It has been said that Satan is the great Deceiver... how can we be sure that he hasn't pulled off the greatest deception of all? To convince us that he is God and God is the Devil in an attempt to deny us the blessings of physical existence ?

    oh my you've looked into that pretty deeply.

    i'm not sure, but i guess it's good we have all these things in life "tempting" us. it teaches self control..... and in the end makes us stronger people.
