So where did that response come from? And what does it mean, and to what does it apply? What does a shape-shifting Satan have to do with our discussion (does Satan have a shape - can he dance on the head of a pin?)?

Inquiring minds want to know???
Every single person has an agenda. The apostles had an agenda (though we refer to it as a calling, a mission), slave owners have an agenda, etc., etc.,

Just because someone uses a verse from the Bible to justify their position doesn't make it so, anymore than Satan using the Bible to tempt Jesus.

The expression of the Christian position is Jesus. This same Jesus made it very clear that He is the fulfillment of the OT, He didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it.

Trump quotes the Bible that God's love is made complete in us.

Hillary Clinton quotes the Bible "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Everyone and anyone can read the Bible, quote the Bible, use the Bible to justify their position. That doesn't make it true. And it certainly does mean that their position and agenda are "Biblical".
