Can Satan tell the truth?

[tonychanyt]

Can Satan speak a propositional true statement?

Yes, in fact, the devil told a logical truth to Jesus in Matthew 4:

6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “’He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

If Satan lies universally, you only need to perform a logical negation of his lies to obtain the truths.

Will Satan tell a heartfelt truth, a true truth?

No. John 8:

44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

While Satan may recognize or express factual truths, his motives are consistently deceptive, manipulative, or malevolent, making any such statements insincere and harmful.

All good lies, contain some truth.

Can Satan speak a propositional true statement?

Yes, in fact, the devil told a logical truth to Jesus in Matthew 4:

The scripture he quoted is true, but he took the scripture out of context and misapplied it, so in that sense he was not telling the truth.
