In the beginning, when he got Eve into a discussion about the tree, he asked her "Does God REALLY say?" Implying that God could not be trusted.
But with others in our world, Satan ramps up the argument. He wants to get them to the point where they not only don't trust God… but that God doesn't even exist. He wants to get peo ...
