Thanks Lin and Paula for responding.  I think you both will find my next post very interesting.

Any other thoughts?  My further question would be, if Satan distorts the truth so that part of the statement is true and part a twist, can anyone see where the twist is?

If Jesus was simply using common Hebrew hyperbole when he said there was no truth in Satan, wouldn’t that make Jesus to be a liar?  I think we can agree that quoting scripture is not Satan’s words so that wouldn’t qualify.  What Satan does in twisting God’s word is “helicopter” the verse out of its context and in that way he twists God’s word.  But when he speaks of God not as a quote but of his own words is it possible for this to be truth since Jesus said there is no truth in him?

Again, I am trying to push people to think through this one for themselves before I give my answer.  Thinking caps on for this one 🙂
