How do you keep your cool when someone says that God is working with the devil?

We always have the Truth, God’s Word, to fall back on when somebody is speaking lies. It is frustrating, for sure, when somebody says things that just aren’t true about God. However, if you open God’s Word we can find peace in what it says is true about God.

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts" (Isa. 6:3). God is holy, which means he is totally separated from evil. "God is light and in him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). If this is the case, then there is no way God could be working with the devil.

Throughout the Bible you can read of a great opposition between God and the Devil. Nowhere in the Bible do they team up and work together. Here are a few verses that show that opposition: 2 Timothy 2:26, James 3:15, John 17:15, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, 1 John 5:18, John 10:10, Luke 4, Acts 13:9-11, Ephesians 6:11-18, and 1 Peter 5:6-10.

So to answer your question directly, you keep your cool by relying on the Truth you know. You have a couple choices as to how to deal with the situation. You can try to explain why it is absurd to think that God would be working with the devil or you can simply remove yourself from the situation. God must open people’s hearts for them to see and understand Truth. Pray that God will work in this person’s heart. It’s difficult to be mad at somebody when we are praying for them.
