THE DEVIL

Scripture: John 8:44; 1 John 5:19; 3:8

1. Everything in the universe has its opposite
   1. Positive and negative, up and down, good and evil, true and false, are opposites.
   2. White and black, light and darkness, heaven and earth, are also opposites.
   3. Hence, as there is a God, there must also be a Devil.
2. All the contradictions in the universe come from this opposition between God and the Devil
   1. Since there exists both God and the Devil, a conflict occurs.
   2. All the opposite pairs such as good and evil, light and darkness, white and black, true and false, are contradictions existing in the universe.
3. All the tragedies and miseries in the universe originate from the Devil
   1. Since there is not only God but also the Devil, there appear not only bright, good, and happy things, but also dark, evil, and miserable things.
   2. All the dark, evil, and miserable things come from the Devil.
4. All the sins of man come from the Devil
   1. No one sins voluntarily and willingly, but everyone sins because he cannot help it.
   2. This is because the whole world lies in the hand of the Devil.
5. The Devil, which is Satan, is the enemy of God
   1. The existence of falsehood proves the existence of truth in the same way that the existence of forged bank notes proves that there are genuine ones.
   2. The existence of a Devil proves the existence of God.
