“I'd Prefer The Devil”

by David J. Stewart

I received the following e-mail in August of 2005...

I've just read through your site, and my god, is it a laugh! Just tell me this: you don't really mean any of it, do you? I mean, if you are serious about this, you definitely qualify as what the sensible people in this world call a 'religious fanatic'. The Backstreet Boys satanic? Please, they wouldn't have the brain to. Besides, if you see what is done in the name of God nowadays (and that includes flaming things as being satanic, such as what you do), makes me very sure that I'd prefer the devil!

Well Casper, I'm honored to be labeled as a "religious fanatic," it means I must be doing something right. God says in Titus 2:14 that He wants His redeemed people to be a "peculiar" people, "zealous" (fanatical) of good works. My website is certainly peculiar.

Also, you're not the first person to tell me that you prefer the devil. It does not surprise me that the devil is more appealing to the masses today than the truth of God's Word. The devil is a master counterfeiter (2nd Corinthians 11:14). Whereas the truth of God's Word is becoming increasingly offensive to society as a whole; Satan's host of deceits, lies, perversions, and evils are being readily accepted. Oh the blindness of society (2nd Corinthians 4:4).

I will pray for your salvation Casper, and I sincerely hope you don't get your wish in eternity to be with the Devil, because he'll be burning in the Lake of Fire too...

"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." -Revelation 20:10

"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:" -2nd Thessalonians 1:8
