Pai da mentira
A Bíblia revela que o diabo é o pai da mentira. Ele engana, acusa e tenta destruir. Mas Cristo veio para desfazer as obras do maligno e nos dar vitória.
O caráter do diabo
Jesus disse que o diabo é mentiroso e homicida desde o princípio. Não há verdade nele — a mentira é sua natureza.
You2f are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father you2f will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no tin him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel (joyful message) of Moshiach [Messiah], who is the image of God-The Father, should shine unto them.
As obras do inimigo
O diabo rouba a Palavra semeada, cega o entendimento dos incrédulos e anda em derredor como leão rugidor buscando a quem devorar.
"The Sower is The Son of Man, and the seed which fell on the road is everyone who hears ‘The Kingdom of heaven’ and does not understand it. Satan [the adversary] comes and snatches away from his heart everything which was sown in it. This is the seed which fell on the road."
"and the field is this world, the good seed are the righteous. The tares are the ungodly,"
"and the enemy who sowed them is Satan [the adversary]. The standing grain at the end is the world to come, and the reapers are the angels."
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:
[Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan [the adversary] with all power and signs and lying wonders,
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
Vitória em Cristo
Cristo apareceu para destruir as obras do diabo. Quem está em Deus é protegido, e o maligno não o toca.

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet [were cast], and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
