Last week we noted that Bryan Fischer’s Bible study has taken him to the Book of Ephesians and a discussion of Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare, prompting him to declare that Satan is behind everything from gay rights to Planned Parenthood to environmentalism.
Yesterday, Fischer wrapped up his study of Ephesians by stating that it is Satan that is ultimately responsible for attacks on Christians who speak the truth and that “the average liberal in the United States” was just someone who had been duped by Satan:
Satan and his evil spirits are not just kind of these vague floating beings that are out there somewhere where they can’t get to us, they can’t touch us, they can’t affect us, they can’t influence us; we struggle against them.
Now, we do have people that are adversaries but the point that Paul is making here is that what’s behind them, what’s behind the work that they do, the things that they think, the things that they say, what’s behind them if they oppose us when we stand for the truth, what’s behind them ultimately is the Prince of the Power of the Air. And that’s why ultimately our struggle is not against people, they’re just dupes, they have been deceived, they have been fooled.
You look at the average liberal in the United States, they believe things that are folly. They believe things that are irrational. They believe things that make no sense, that cannot stand up to the test of reason and logic. Why do they believe that? Because they are dupes, they have been deceived and fooled by the Prince of Lies, the Father of Lies and that’s why they believe and do what they do.
