Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore, let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach. For we have no continuing city here, but we seek one to come.

The Word of God is perfect, and if the Bible is the Word of God, then it, too, must be perfect. If errors exist in any translation of the Bible, then that translation of the Bible cannot be the Word of God, for the Word of God is without error. After considering this example of mistranslation in the King James Version of the Bible (KJV), ask yourself whether it or any other version of the Bible is the perfect Word of God.
The word "devil" refers to one particular being. The prophets and apostles never used that word in reference to any other being. In Revelation 20:2, John tells us who that being is. He calls him "the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan". This wicked creature is the fallen cherub whom Isaiah called "Lucifer" (Isa. 14). There is only one Lucifer, the foolish cherub who attempted to share in the glory of God. The angels who were deceived by him and were cast out of heaven with him are not called devils; they are called "demons". This is how we distinguish the leader of wickedness from his angelic followers.
The King James translation confuses the picture many times by calling demons "devils". There is only one devil, though there be many demons.
