ANSWER:
A particularly interesting biblical angle is that Satan's strategy is often portrayed as deception rather than obvious destruction.
For example:
- Deception: convincing people that something harmful is actually good.
- Division: turning people against neighbors, families, or communities.
- Pride: persuading people that they are superior and therefore justified in mistreating others.
- Hatred: transforming legitimate disagreements into contempt for entire groups.
- Falsehood: gradually making people distrust truth itself.
- Temptation: exploiting ordinary human weaknesses rather than forcing people to do anything.
- Self-destruction: getting people to make choices that ultimately damage their own communities.
That theme appears strongly in passages such as Genesis 3, John 8:44, 1 Peter 5:8, and Revelation 12:9.
