AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what it natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths. |
Bible Question: lying spirit..can anyone explain about this. Is it actually a demonic spirit? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Ginger... Christ asserted that the devil is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44b). There are Scriptural references to the phrase "lying spirit" in 1 Kings 22:20-23 and 2 Chronicles 18:19-22. These passages relate how God specifically commissioned and empowered a spirit to promote a specific delusion to the prophets of Israel. That's a difficult thing to understand, but it is consistent with other passages including John 12:39-43; 2 Thessalonians 2:11, etc. In Him, Doc |
