The devil does not present himself as evil - 1

* Luis Alberto Alves

The corrupt at the company believes that the boss will never be suspicious of his scams and will continue to steal, divert money and make up the accounts in the tax records. In his view he is the smartest guy in the world.

Complicating matters, the devil will put equal, criminal people by his side to reinforce the sense of alleged impunity. For a while it will not be discovered. You'll refuse advice and even think you're jealous for doing so.

The devil, contrary to what many say, is not stupid. And intelligent. Knows how to create situations to make evil look good. Take the case of traffickers, who in festive times distribute gifts and even baskets.

Who, without God's discernment, will criticize someone supposedly charitable? On the contrary, it will compliment you. In this case, the faithful Christian will eventually be seen as criticizing the work.
