Bible Note: Greetings Matron! First of all, welcome to the forum! Secondly, I disagree with your statement that the word 'Satan' does not actually have to appear in the text. Pcdarcan has made repeated statements that 2 Cor. 4:4 says that Satan is the god of this world. This statement is not factual. 2 Cor. 4:4 says no such thing. The question is 'Who does the blinding?' Interestingly, John 12:40 uses the same exact word in it's quote of Is. 6:10. John 12:40 says, "He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them." In Is. 6:10, Jehovah is speaking. So, 'Who does the blinding in 2 Cor. 4:4?' I would say that Jehovah does the blinding. Further, in Is. 43:10, Jehovah tells us that there is NO OTHER GOD besides HIM! Therefore, it would be a violation of this direct statement by Jehovah to say that Satan is a god.
