Does Satan influence Christian ministers to preach false doctrine, for instance regarding a knowledge of God and man's true relationship to him?

The question was put:

"Does Satan influence Christian ministers to preach false doctrine, for instance regarding a knowledge of God and man's true relationship to him?"

To which I responded:

Probably not. I am doubtful of Satan in the first place, but if Satan exists, I believe he generally inspires people who are out to do evil already, rather than cause would-be-good-doers to preach false doctrine. Christian ministers who preach false doctrine probably do so because of their own ignorance, just as LDS leaders who preach false doctrine do so out of their own ignorance.
