If you wish to follow the words of a chain of wicked, and fallible men, that may be your destiny. It need not be; you can follow God’s word, which will not mislead you. The word does not lie.
God gave us reason and intellect for a purpose. We must assess and then choose or reject words from all sources as my moniker would imply. For example I would have refused the voices that told me to build an altar and sacrifice my son knowing that my God would not demand that of me.
So what was Satan quoting when he tempted Christ?
You need to keep better track of your non-biblical cliches!
