thanks. hard for me to reconcile what this means. the god of this world. B/c I don't believe satan has God's full power. Like satan and the demons cannot read my thoughts, while God can.
But there it is in the Bible. I can only assume that god is not capitalized and used as some kind of idolatry in this passage.
We were given dominion over the Earth in Genesis 1. Satan and his minions are trespassers.
More like Usurpers.
...but we abdicated our obedience to Lucifer. He is the Prince of the Air.
We were but the fall happened shortly after. NT refers to him as god if this world.
Do you have the verse that states this, I haven't seen it.
2 Corinthians 4:4

thoughts?
Yes that’s exactly why it’s lower case. He is only allowed his dominion, but he is able to enthrall fallen man. Not regenerate believers.
thanks again makes perfect sense.
