Comer asks us to take the devil seriously — not as a Halloween caricature but as the New Testament actually describes him: a liar and a deceiver who works primarily through ideas, not horror-movie theatrics.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Comer argues that the devil's primary weapon is not temptation to evil acts but deception — planting false ideas. How does this reframe the way you think about spiritual warfare? Does it make the concept feel more or less real to you?
2.He draws heavily from Genesis 3 and the serpent's conversation with Eve. Walk through that story again: what specific lies does the serpent tell, and how does each one follow a predictable logic of twisting something true into something false?
3.Comer emphasizes that Jesus identifies the devil as 'the father of lies' (John 8:44) and that this is the devil's native language. Why does calling deception the devil's native language change how we should approach false ideas in our culture? How does it raise the stakes?
