God is Spirit. Satan is a fallen angel.Satan and angels are spirits also - see Heb 1:7Everything about God is genuine. Nothing about Satan is genuine.Everything about Satan is genuine also only it is genuine deceit & darkness rather than Truth & light.The fantasy that he is the "god of this world"This is no fantasy - Jesus validates it Himself - see John 12:31, John 14:30; John 16:11 for a start.if just tht if one believes this biblical statement implies that Satan has the same powers for the darkside as God does for the light. What powers he had were broken with the advent of Christ - both the power that comes from fear of death AND the power to possess anyone who belongs to Christ.Sure is a lot of darkness, hell and destruction out there coming from what you call a fantasy JD. It's much moreprobable that the Church is full of doctrinal fantasy and has neglected to take the authority given her in Christ.Satan has no control of my life - regardless of either DM or Judy's judgment that might suggest otherwise.You don't stand or fall before DM or Judy JD.Sin, for example, no longer brings death in my life as a judgment from God; its damaging influence is effectively countered even as I continue to be renewed in mind (Ro 12) and my destiny is without question because of the seal that is mine , the Spirit given to me without regard to measure being that seal.Careful you are not clinging to a false assurance JD; Hebrews 6:4 speaks of those who were:1. Once enlightened2. Tasted of the heavenly gift3. Were made partakers of the Holy Ghost4. Have tasted of the good word of God5. And the powers of the world to comeIf they shall fall away it is "impossible" to renew them again; the ppl described above have the seal also....jd
