Satan's doctrine is God's Word, perverted.

Just as Satan did to Eve, quoting God's Words with a twist, he still does.

Satan uses God's truths and perverts them to decieve, making it more comfortable and easier to read and easier to accept.

This is why there are so many differant denominations. He takes truth and adds a little "falsness" just to keep everyone "warring and fighting" (James)

The only way to "overcome" Satans doctrine is to have God give you His Holy Spirit, there is no lie in God, but, the church must become "overcomers" (Rev. 2 & 3)

The church must come unto "unity" and speak the same thing--truth, with no perversion.

This also is a hard saying, i pray that you and all the church continue to seek truth and be willing to forsake all for it.

speaking truth by the Holy Spirit, only because of God's mercy and grace,

Satan is the father of liars. As newname has said, expect anything that comes from him to be a a perversion or distortion of the truth.
Scripture tells us that we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony in Revelations. Our testimony is that we fight the good fight and trust in the Lord's provision of forgiveness through His Son Yashua - Jesus.
All things evil can and will be turned around and be for the good of those that love God and are called to His purpose. This is what God does with the darkness. He dispels it and leaves behind blessing and light. In heaven, there is no darkness or night.
Until the darkness reveals all the Sons of God who shine forth from the night of this fallen world, satan and evil will exist, but the day comes when satan, death, and hell are cast into the lake of fire and done away with forever.

Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Re 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

It can be considered "Satanology" but I have also seen it under the headings of Angelology and Demonology...
