does anyone feel that Satan has been poorly represented by christians and thier bibles?

Question

according to the bible satan only did as he was ordered. it was when he had the guts to stand up to Jehova that he was casted out. people attack satan constantly but their god Jehova is angry, jealous, and vengeful. even the Jesus story implies that Jesus saves people from Jehova and not really Satan per se.

I think satan needs a good lawyer not a bunch of muckrackers.

Answer 1

heck yeah. Satan has always seemed like a cool guy to me. just because he's in charge of hell doesn't mean that he's a bad person.

Answer 2

You don't think it is a little bit insane to rebell against your creator and you see him because you serve at His Throne? Wow that is just interesting. People have be blinded by the god of this age. They really feel sorry for Satan. I don't. I am sure during the millenial kingdom some of you will be part of the rebellion to help Satan escape. When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation Chapter 20:7-10

Answer 3

I don't know but you can read this about Satan and get your own informed opinion, no the one from the Zealots.
The following is what I've discovered about the Devil. The first part is taken from Chapter III of my book India Is the Real Jewish and Christian Holy Land:
"Satan Was Really a Saintly Indian King. In Chapter II, I explained that Satana was in reality a Gujarati city-state that lost a war to the Seunas or Zionists. The name of this city was probably derived from that of a Jaina king and founder of a small Jaina sect. We are wrongly taught that a holy man named Mahavira founded Jainism. He was in reality a later reformer. Jainism itself existed millenniums before Mahavira was born. No one really knows exactly when Mahavira lived. I believe that he achieved his enlightenment around 1000 B.C. Some years after his death, a pious Jaina king named Satan-ikas (Satan of Kasi?) began expounding his own version of Jainism. He succeeded in getting only 11 converts. They distinguished themselves from other Jainists by wearing blood-red robes and occasionally bull-horn headresses. Because the sect was (and still is) so very small, it was probably rejected by Jainists as demoniacal and heretical. In those days, the different Indian sects often fought one another, as, indeed, their non-Indian descendants do even today. Over the centuries, this saint and his red clothing evolved to the red-colored monster that the TV preachers use to scare fanatical Christian fundamentalists and convince them to unload their bank accounts and wallets.

The following are the "evil" teachings that this "Satan" used to ensnare innocent victims:

1. The senses are not the seat of wisdom.
2. The Law of Karma (the effect of our past deeds, whether good or bad) is a reality.
3. The world and the beings in it are realities; not illusions.
4. The spiritual dimension is also real.
5. No one should kill animals.
6. We must endure patiently the life conditons that we cannot change.
7. Do not mortify the body.
8. Always be truthful, sincere, and pure of conduct.
9. Do not steal.
10. Do not be unfaithful to your spouse. Control all earthly desires.

If Satan-ikas were to return to see what he has become in the minds of Baptist preachers and Jehovah's Witnesses, he'd truly be saddened to learn that he is remembered as The Great Tempter - the man that everyone loves to hate. The preachers need not worry overmuch. Very few people have ever fallen into the clutches of Satan-ikas.

"The Sanskrit/Kashmiri word for "devil" is exactly as in English: dev-il (condition of being a devil). The amazing similarities between English and Sanskrit prompted Indian historian A. K. Mazumdar to write, ".English is essentially Rig-Vedic Sanskrit in disguise." (The Hindu History; p. 349.) For more information about this anomaly, see my book India Once Ruled the World."

Comment: My guess is that the orthodox Jains regarded Satan-ikas as a heretic and demonized him and his followers. Somehow, he became the Devil for the rest of the world.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Satan was ordered to do what? What kind of books do you waste your time reading? "Satan for Dummies"? And he never stood up to God. He was being stupid and selfish. And of course God will get angry and jealous. Wouldn't you get upset and jealous if some one else would try and come over to run your house? Besides, He's GOD! get that in your head! He can do that! If He says black is white and white is black then so be it! He made us! He made Satan. You made (or will make) your kids. What would you do if they completely rebell against them? Kiss them and give them a lollypop? I'm sure you would. And Jesus does not save people FROM Jahova. He saves them FOR Him. I need to know where you're getting all this ignorant information from. I'm not saying you're ignorant, but the information you're being fed. Give me scriptures. Facts.

laters.

Answer 7

Firstly, I LOVE BrendaWise's answer! You are very confused about the Scriptures. Satan was the most beloved of God's angels....until he got too big for his britches, thought he was as good as God, and God cast him and his demons into the lake of fire. Satan is the author of confusion, and he has done a great job here on earth. There are so many people that will burn in hell, and, believe me, the devil is loving it!! I am so thankful that my loving God has saved me from that fiery pit. I will pray that you see the error of your ways before it is too late. This I believe!!

Answer 8

He has not been poorly represented. He is the reason there is sin in this world. If Satan was as good as you say he is then he would not have tempted Eve and there would be nothing bad in this world. He is deceitful and is constantly trying to tempt you to do bad things. He is not misunderstood or misrepresented. The Bible describes him the way he truly is so get used to it.

Answer 9

A careful reading of the Bible reveals that Satan was not such a bad entity except for his being arrogant and thinking he was better than God.
Satan never leveled cities, never killed millions in a massive flood, never launched armies in his name, and never committed atrocities. He was just arrogant.
He never wanted anyone to kill their children as a sacrifice to his glory, never asked people to remain stupid (gave Eve the apple of knowledge),
The Bible portrays Satan quite sympathetically in many ways. When you look at the record, Satan did not commit felonies. He was just arrogant, prideful, and thought he was better than God.
I do not wonder why he thought that.
I look at God's record of atrocities and am astonished at His demands.
Finally, many of God's fans are as arrogant or worse than Satan. Look at their records. By their works you will know them.

Answer 10

that's why all lawyers go to hell! Satan is recruiting all of them to face jehovahwhatsisname during judgement day and open up a whoopass case against god/jesus/angels for the lifetimes of torture, racial segregration, disgrace, libel and much much more, I think god will lose without any lawyers. Preachers and dying bed converts cant present a good case.

Answer 11

I think that trolls who constantly insist on posting stupid, irrelivant in life questions, need to get a life. Why not just go see a movie or read a book? I would personally request that the "higher power" send a truck in the direction of such people that post such an idiotic question.
