Apparently there is another gospel and doctrine making the rounds assigning power to the devil for the price of sin.
You will find no Biblical evidence that the devil had anything to do with the price for sin. He is a fallen being thrown out of heaven, it makes no sense that God would give him a say.
Does anyone think for one minute the devil wanted there to be a way to pay for sin through Jesus Christ's blood? He did everything he could to stop it, even putting in Pharaoh's mind to kill all the babies that were born the same year Christ was born.
The doctrine that says that satan had any part in deciding the price for sin is not only absurd it is blasphemous to assign to him any power over God at all.
Galatians 1:3-5 "…3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen."
Romans 3:25-26 "25 God presented Him (Jesus Christ) as an atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand. 26 He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.…"
Also, it says in Isaiah 53:10:
"Yet it pleased the Father to bruise Him. He has put Him to grief when you make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great."
John 1:14
"14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."
Matthew 26:39
"39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”
