Satan is not Real say 59% of professing American Christians

A recent survey, of 1,300 professing Christians, when asked if Satan and the Holy Spirit were real had this to say.

Satan is not Real, say 59 percent of professing American Christians. 

Does the Bible make reference to him? Yes.

  • In the King James there 49 references to Satan, to Lucifer 1 reference
  • In the New King James there 54 references to Satan, to Lucifer 1 reference
God created Satan and mentions him many times in His Word for our edification. It would appear people in America are not getting the Word of God in church if these numbers are correct.

Worse yet 58% don't know the Holy Spirit is God!

58 percent 
of professing American Christians say the Holy Spirit is a symbol, not a real entity. My friends this is Blasphemy!

Blaspheme Defined by the King James Dictionary (KJD):
  1. To speak of the Supreme Being in terms of impious irreverence to revile or speak reproachfully of God, or the Holy Spirit.
  2. To speak evil of to utter abuse or calumny against to speak reproachfully of.
Blasphemer Defined by the KJD:
  1. One who blasphemes one who speaks of God in impious and irreverent terms.
Blasphemy Defined by the KJD:

BLAS'PHEMY, An indignity offered to God by words or writing reproachful, contemptuous or irreverent words uttered impiously against Jehovah.

Blasphemy is an injury offered to God, by denying that which is due and belonging to him, or attributing to him that which is not agreeable to his nature.

In the middle ages, blasphemy was used to denote simply the blaming or condemning of a person or thing. Among the Greeks, to blaspheme was to use words of omen, which they were careful to avoid.

  1. That which derogates from the prerogatives of God.
What does God's Word have to say about Blasphemy?

Mark 3:29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”—

Luke 12:10 “And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven. 

Those who answered the question regarding God the Holy Spirit would have been much better off remaining silent.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Has Satan compromised the church? I would say absolutely and I pray that the results of the above survey are not representative of the 78% of Americans who profess to be Christian. Satan's disguise seems to be working better than those who are filling American pulpits. He is obviously directing their teachings as an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

Satan > Apollyon (Greek: Destroyer)


Lets look at another survey:

An extensive new survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life details statistics on religion in America and explores the shifts taking place in the U.S. religious landscape. Based on interviews with more than 35,000 Americans age 18 and older, the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey finds that religious affiliation in the U.S. is both very diverse and extremely fluid.

Among the 78% viewing themselves as Christian we have:
  1. Protestant 51.3%
  2. Catholic 23.9%
America no longer understands what a real Christian is, many will be shocked and horrified in the days ahead to realize they are not saved. God forgive us for this failure and empower your true believers to get the truth out while there is still time. Amen!
