This comes from Dualistic theology, and they used to burn people for saying those things. God is the Creator, not Satan. You should tell them that Mary Baker Eddy believed the same thing. The 'good things are from God, bad things are from the devil' is a very old heresy. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manichaeism- there's the root of it. Dualistic groups have been cropping up like weeds ever since. (I've done a lot of work on the Albigensians, so I know something about this.)

I was told by them that Joyce Meyer said "that we should live like Jesus is visiting us personally in our homes everyday" and not be doing things like "smoking" since we wouldn't do that in front of Jesus.

Well, if they really knew it all they wouldn't have to rely on slogans and pat answers when they talk to you. Btw, I hate that too. I just want to have a real conversation with someone - no verbal bumper stickers.

"It wasn't about words. The hysterical shouting was in tongues, like at a Pentecostal Church. When the fight was over, nothing was solved. But nothing mattered. Afterwards, we all felt saved." -Fight Club
