People,
If you are a true Christian, you should NEVER believe that there is any person called Satan!!!This is a heathen belief which is unbiblical and pagan! The term Satan does not exist in Hebrew language! It has its origin in Greek mythology..Jesus used it to mean those who had gone wayward..
There is, and there will be no one who can compete with or against God!! Our God is al-mighty, so powerful and omnipresent that nothing can challenge him..A creature can NEVER challenge the Creator!!
The term SATAN is symbolic and it refers to SIN in all forms!! It means an opposer.. going against something or somebody!!
Sometimes it doesn’t even have to mean something evil.. An angel of God was sent to stand as Satan against Ballack the evil prophet, when he wanted to curse the Israelites! Now this was an angel of God, but he was a Satan to Ballack,, does that mean the angel was some mighty super evil being to Ballack? Hell No!!
No angel of God can sin!!! The angels of God have been created in a way that they can’t sin.. All angels do Gods will whether without question.. they can turn into wind and travel and do things in mysterious ways.. What do the angels have to gain by rebelling against God? Nothing..
We humans were created in a way that we could sin and die, or obey God and live! Unfortunately, Adam chose to disobey God and so we, his descendants die..
Jesus Christ was sent to remove the curse of death, so that we can have the hope of living again after death, but only if we change from our sinful ways to Godly ways!!
I can explain many things here but there is no time and space!! Our churches have gone astray, by teaching people falsehoods, and the congregation is too willing to listen to unsound teachings and false doctrines, that is sweet music to their ears!!
Devil worship simply means worshipping materialism and abandoning ways of God, which means humility and good deeds!!
There is NOTHING like the devil! The devil is you and I..There is nothing like Satan..Satan is you and I..Every sin that we commit comes from our own hearts!! No one drives us into sinning..It’s our own weakness that drives us into sinning!! Christ was tempted too, but he was the only man who never gave in to sin!!
If you want to learn true teachings.. feel free to share with me or ask me any questions!!
I’m so disappointed that most educated people still believe in some neo-classical traditional dogmatic teachings, which have no place in the school of a free thinker and enquiring mind!!
God bless you all!

Thank you my brother for hitting the nail on the head. I do get a hard time explaining the same to people.
Yes Vincent
Thanks for your mail
Refer to the texts below:
(Job 1:12) – “Then the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him.”
Matt 4:10
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Great Controversy: (Seventh-day Adventist Fundamental Believe #8)
All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between Christ and Satan regarding the character of God, His law, and His sovereignty over the universe. This conflict originated in heaven when a created being, endowed with freedom of choice, in self-exaltation became Satan, God’s adversary, and led into rebellion a portion of the angels. He introduced the spirit of rebellion into this world when he led Adam and Eve into sin. This human sin resulted in the distortion of the image of God in humanity, the disordering of the created world, and its eventual devastation at the time of the worldwide flood. Observed by the whole creation, this world became the arena of the universal conflict, out of which the God of love will ultimately be vindicated. To assist His people in this controversy, Christ sends the Holy Spirit and the loyal angels to guide, protect, and sustain them in the way of salvation. (Rev. 12:4-9; Isa. 14:12-14; Eze. 28:12-18; Gen. 3; Rom. 1:19-32; 5:12-21; 8:19-22; Gen. 6-8; 2 Peter 3:6; 1 Cor. 4:9; Heb. 1:14.)
From the above passages, do we still believe there is no Satan. The ultimate goal for every christian is to go to heaven, and this is path of spiritual warfare between evil and good; God on one side and devil/satan on the other. The Fundamental believe for every christian.

I absolutely agree with the disposition of this piece and (hopefully) that of the author as well. You are spot on chief… Some of the illustrations might be open for debate not in contest but to align them contextually. Nonetheless good piece
