You know that verse could be addressing you in this modern time though it was speaking to a group of Jews, Jesus says, "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44).

Satan is the "father of lies" in that he is the original liar. He is the "father" of lies in the same way that Martin Luther is the "father" of the Reformation and Robert Goddard is the "father" of modern rocketry. Satan told the first lie in recorded history to Eve, in the Garden of Eden. After planting seeds of doubt in Eve's mind with a question (Genesis 3:1), he directly contradicts God's Word by telling her, "You will not certainly die" (Genesis 3:4). With that lie, Satan led Eve to her death; Adam followed, and so have we all.

Lying is Satan's primary weapon against God's children. He uses the tactic of deceit to separate people from their heavenly Father. Some of his more common lies are "there is no God," "God doesn't care about you," "the Bible cannot be trusted," and "your good works will get you into heaven." In 2 Corinthians 11:14 tells us that Satan "masquerades as an angel of light", so that what he says and does sounds good and seems reasonable. But it is nothing more than a false appearance.

You should read the whole chapter, you will find it's speaking about you. As I said earlier no need to reason with a lunatic such as yourself.

'contradicts God's word' then.one of them was God the Creator, huh? So, what were.the others? Which.one was Jesus' God, a Spirit?
