True or False?  Satan made me do it?

false. You have free will whether you believe in the bible or not.  The bible is specific what you have free will.  The bible states that Satan can put things in front of you to temp you as can God.  But they cannot make you do it or take it.  They can only put it there its your choice whether you do it or not.  You are your own person with your owm mind.

Yes. It is important to find out for yourself the truth. I prayed long and hard about what I had been taught from childhood. I studied the scriptures and prayed about them. Then answer I got was the most wonderful feeling that everything I read and was taught was true - I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is true.

No, not true.\n\n The Bible says that I can know because His Spirit bears witness with my spirit....\n\n I didn't understand this until I backslid, my sins were 7 times worse just like His Word said, and Satan kept me bound by guilt, just like His Word said, and then I repented once more and He forgave me again just like His Word said... \n\nBUT!!! I knew in my spirit during that time of backsliding that God was not there, and I knew that if He came for me, I wasn't going to be making it to heaven...\n\nAnd NEVER believe the falsehood that you can stand and repent on Judgement Day. God's Word says It's Judgement Day not "Common PLea's Day". You will go before God to be judged, not to defend yourself. The only defense you recieve is from Jesus, He will stand to defend that His Blood is covering you, but if you deny Him, He will deny you, He said so....

I read the answers people posted and i must say i'm appaled. God gave satan domain over the earth to do with what he could.  He's trying to pull as many people away from God as possible, we are also entering the time where revelations is coming true, Jesus is going to return and it won't be an extremely long time.  This is the havoc that satan is causing because it's his last chance to keep people away from God.  He wants God's people to turn to him and away from God and many many people are, that why this exsistence is so hard, Satan is tempting, teasing and testing.   Stay on the right fork of the road my friend and you'll be just fine hun.

Yes. I have had people put my religion down before they even knew anything about it. Wicca. People(Christians in particular) assume that I worship Satan. I don't even believe in God or Satan. Satanists worship Satan, and Satanists came about after Christianity was thought of. My religion was around long before Christianity. It's just a form of manipulating energy. That's the easiest way of describing it.

NOT TRUE! I am a Preacher and I think it is just a lie! To cast doubt on the BIBLE!

I think that someone is having a religious confliction; don't worry, me too.\n\nIf Satan were the good guy, I would go follow Satan, if I believed what he was preaching to me.  If I didn't believe it than I would follow what I do believe.

Christianity is the "the devil made me do it" religion.

Entirely implausible, but if it were truly in Satan's heart, yeah, I suppose God would forgive him.  Weird question, but interesting nonetheless.  =P

Not the true followers of Christ but we know Satan masquerades as an angel of light so there is stuff out there that is called christian but is satanic. We also know many false Christs will come which will be the same.

I have only been called once to exorcise posessing spirits.  The evidence abounded, though.  Perfume bottles would fly up from behind picture frames and hurl themselves at the woman who was involved.  After asking God's protection, I walked into the room.  \n\nThe bottles flew at me just as they did at her, but when they got about 2 feet away from me, they stopped in mid flight and dropped to the ground.  I asked if she had any books on witchcraft, and she said no, so I thought about the things that the Bible mentions as evil, and asked if she had any books on astrology.  She had many, but the Spirit told me that just wasn't it.  \n\nI asked her if she was SURE there wasn't something else.  She himmed and hawed around, then said, "Well, I have this."  She reached into her bookcase and pulled out a Satanic Bible.\n     \nI cast the demons out in the name of Jesus, then took the books to the middle of a barron street and burned them.  When the books finished burning, a large wind came out of nowhere and blew the ashes away.  A thought came into my head about the Holy Spirit being like a wind... you don't know from where it comes or where it goes.\n     \nThey asked what they should do next, and I told them to find a church that they liked and stay in it.  About 10 years later, the couple called me and thanked me for what I did.  I had to explain that it wasn't me who did it, but God working through me who did it.  Everything seemed fine after that.\n     \nAs far as medical treatments go, they can treat the physical symptoms to some degree, but they can't remove the source of the problem.

satan himself is my biggest temptation. He is everywhere, trying to tempt everyone to sin. I have to Pray and ask God to help me resist all sin and temptation. He always leads me in the right way. Just trust in the Lord.

Simple Answer: You Bet!\n\nRead here:\n\n   "Again the devil took Jesus up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kindgoms of the world and their glory.\n   And the devil said to Jesus, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."\n                                            Mathew 4:9-9\n\nSounds to me like making a deal with the devil is very possible don't you?\n\nhope this helps.

There was a time when I considered myself a follower of the "Left Hand Path", but I'm a wiser person now. Satanism, the kind practiced in America and the English speaking world, is based on the works of Anton LaVey. LaVey founded the Church of Satan in 1966 to cash in on the occult craze of the 1960's. LaVey's philosophy is one of hedonism and "free love" (hardly news for the 60's), and featured rituals with his nude wife and bare breasted female followers, which shows why males would want to join...even at the cost of $20 per meeting back then. LaVey didn't live up to his claims nor did he follow his own creed. Even though Satanism eschews charity of any kind, LaVey and his family lived on welfare and handouts during the late 70s-80s. Even though LaVey claimed Satanic magic could give "mastery of the earth", he still died bankrupt in a house he didn't own. LaVey lied about his accomplishments in life (i.e., an oboist for an orchestra, lion tamer, criminologist, etc.)and was in fact, just a high school dropout. While LaVey claimed he tried to "keep the nuts out" and disavowed criminal activity within his Satanic church, he admitted in several writings of engaging in a "cannibal feast" and forced females followers into prostitution...beating them when they did not bring back enough money. In the 1980s his common law wife Diane left him and sued, claiming LaVey beat her all during their relationship, which is confirmed by LaVey's children. LaVey claimed Satanists did not believe in harming children but according to his daughter Zeena, he was the passive witness to the molestation of his grandson Stanton, by a Church of Satan member. LaVey would reverse himself on many issues over the years. At first, the church of Satan welcomed gays and lesbians, but when LaVey saw the only people he could attract were mostly Neo-Nazis, his later writings gave hints of racism and of being anti-gay. After his death, the truth about him came out, but people still plunk down $7.95 for his "Satanic Bible", which is mostly plagiarized from other sources (Atlas Shrugged, Might Is Right, and the writings of Aleister Crowley) .  \n\nIf you want to be a bankrupt pimp, cannibal, wife beater, and liar, perhaps Satanism is for you!

Satan was allowed to test Job which ended up making Job stronger. Testing helps us know how strong we are in the Lord. Many times people turn to God after being tested.
