Novel & Cerita The Devil Can Quote Scripture

“He would get me out, and he'd provide me with safety. And even after that, he would help me get Theon back.” Leita glances at me, serious once again without a hint of a smile, sunny or otherwise. “And who was this man?” she asks. “He said his name is Xaveraq. The devil.” She shudders. “The…devil?” Leita raises her brows. “Like, Lucifer, that angry dude who fell from the Christian Heaven? That guy?” “No. He said the Christian concept of the devil was founded on him...on his race. Devils. I…I still don’t really get it. But whatever he is, he’s so, so powerful, unlike anything I'd ever seen before.”

She wouldn’t belong to anyone. Not even the devil.

******** Quote of The Day: "I felt like an animal, and animals don't know sin, do they?"

Across the rafters, the brazier's smoke is beginning to fill the space and hover lower. Apparently faithful, the others reply, “Deliver us, O Lord,” after each invocation from Father Kilroy. “From all sin—. From your wrath—. From sudden and unprovided death—. From the snares of the devil—.” “Deliver us, O Lord.”

The captain closed his eyes for a few moments, drew in a breath, and let go a sigh as he caressed the Bible, taking comfort from it. “I read from 2 Chronicles 33:6!” he called. When he opened his eyes, they were blue steel, vivid against the unkempt brush of his black beard. He cleared his throat. As he began to speak, his voice became rhythmic, mesmerising those before him, “And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.”

“After this, you are mine, Sweet little thing. You’ll not be able to run or escape me. Because no matter where you run to, even though I have to turn this world upside down, I will find you and bring you right back to my side because you are bound to me.” I laughed. “Trying to scare me?” He looked almost human to me at that moment. He was trying to save me from himself? I took the pen from him and signed a contract with the Devil. Grinning, I fired his words right back at him. “Sounds like foreplay,” It was surprisingly a sunny day when I later said yes to marrying Damon in sickness and in lies. He said yes too and for a moment I wondered how fitting it was that I wore the black dress. Perha

I was really curious to know the connection between the devil and the dragon. Irene came back with the bible and I quickly began to read. In the Bible, the dragon was the devil and he came to earth to deceive and destroy. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." "Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth."

I asked the obvious showing how surprised I was and he just scoffed. "Don't know nobody knows the scripture more than the devil," he said to me then turned to Martga. "So my dear friend, you're not going against two, but one." he said and the joy, the excitement, the pleasure and everything I feel from his mere words was overwhelming so I threw myself at him. "Can't you take pity on me devil, there is a limit to the excitement my heart can handle." I said as I held back the tears threatening to escape.

She dangled them before his face. “You’ve been a naughty boy, Thaddeus Black,” she said. “Are you ready to be tied up and face your punishment?” Thad chuckled. “You just reminded me of something an old friend once told me. Want to hear it?” “Do tell.” “He said, and I quote, ‘never you believe whatever the preachers say. When the Devil comes to you, it’s going to be a she in high heels,’ end quote. That’s what you are to me right now.”

However, he was not for her and had been playing with her to get what he wanted all along. It had been awful seeing him with someone she thought was her friend. It did not startle Janice when it happened, since she knew he would eventually leave like the others. She had prepared for the day he'd say the same things others had said. Though it hurts, she was glad she didn't give herself to him. Because that would have been the worst. She wouldn't be able to look him in the eyes, neither would she be able to stare at her supposed friend. Yet, the person she had willingly given herself was the devil himself.
