Ye shall be as gods.. it's the same old devil with same old lies just like from the very beginning.

and God does allow it... the separating out from the flock those who desire to contest His throne, just like the devil did before them.

If you truly believed the holy spirit you would not question God's word. The jewish scribes have painstakingly carefully kept it in tact for a good few millenium. And if you do not believe the holy spirit, God's spirit, and his power (to keep His own word both in writing and action) then you cannot be saved because, intrinsically, you actually do not believe.. in God or his spirit, the holy spirit. period.
