22-1004 The god of This World? (2 Cor. 4:4)

Published: Oct. 5, 2022, 4:38 a.m.

22-1004 The god of This World? (2 Cor. 4:4) Dr. Cawthorn teaches that many today in the church take for granted that Paul was actually referring to Satan as the "God of this age" which isn’t clear. Nevertheless, there are problems with this view. A closer analysis of the passage in its immediate and overall contexts indicates that Paul actually had the true God in view, not Satan. Paul was stating that it is the one true God who blinds the minds of the unbelievers (by withholding regeneration) as a just consequence of their obstinate rebellion and sin. Doctors of the church like Saint Augustine taught the same.
