The phrase "the devil stole scripture" often refers to the idea that misinterpretation or manipulation of biblical texts can lead people away from the intended messages of faith. This concept suggests that the devil, as a metaphor for evil or deception, influences individuals to distort or misuse scripture for personal gain or to mislead others. This theme is prevalent in various religious teachings, emphasizing the importance of understanding and interpreting sacred texts with care and integrity. Ultimately, it serves as a caution against allowing external influences to skew one's understanding of spiritual truths.
