Tools of Satan?

Question

What are some of the tools of Satan? What does he do to get to us and where does it tell in the Bible?

Answer 1

The bible tells us Satan is the father of all lies and he is the great deciever.He uses doubt, fear and envy to name a few.One example i can think of personally is when you become saved i used to think some times, Am I really saved. Does God really hear my prayers. I am not worthy so how do i know i am really born again. This is satan casting doubt! or thoughts like well i was bad i did this and that so maybe i cant be saved.The bible tell us Jesus takes our sins and casts as far as east is from west.

Answer 2

Temptation is Satan's number one tool. He uses it through deception. Satan is the author of pride, which is sin. Through pride he deceives us into falling into his temptations. His deception of Eve in the garden of Eden is the first instance. Eve was deceived through Satan's trickery. Adam, however, willfully disobeyed God. For study purposes, you need to read all of the New Testament to get the full flavor of Satan's destructiveness. I highly recommend a book by the famous Baptist preacher Charles Stanley entitles "When the Enemy Strikes." It is a complete analysis of spiritual warfare. It is easy to read and understand and it should be available in any Christian bookstore or any large secular bookstore. Jesus loves you and he wants you to learn as much about the devil's trickery so that you can put on the whole armor of God. Read Ephesians 6:10-20 for the missionaries credo.

Satan is a great hockey player. His tools are an excellent slap shot and wrist shot, as well as his speed. He used to play for Buffalo, but I believe that he is currently an Islander.

If you meant the mythological Satan, he never existed, he's a myth.

Answer 4

This idea of Satan is not what you have been told it is.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satin/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about satins role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the satin idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Answer 5

The biggest tool of Satan is rationality, which disproves God's existence as well as Satan's existence.

Answer 6

Satan will use any weakness that we have be it food, lust, pride, etc... He will use our weakness to make us think we aren't a Christian.
Look at Job, Jesus being tempted in the wilderness, Peter's denial and Moses's temper. These are just a few of the many that show how Satan will try and trip us up.
Jesus' response to Satan is how we are to respond when tempted, we are to quote scripture. Hold on tighter to your faith and pray for strength.
I hope this helps you.

Answer 7

SATAN means NOT (an) TRUE (Sat) and it is derived from Sanskrit.
In the bible you will not be able to find correct statement as the Yahweh is still in domain of MIND and illusion, time and space, etc...

The main tools of SATAN are:

Your own mind because he is preventing you to be what your true nature is. He is all the time trying do disperse your attention in the world. Mind (universal) is the creator of time and space, duality, etc.... Your true nature is to be one, love, whole, perfect, ....
Emotions and even body are only the aspects of the mind. MIND in this contest is much more that what we are using in day to day activities. Subconscious is also one of aspects of the mind.
The true aspect of mind is the same as machine have. We and the law of the creation (not only this universe) have forced us (SOULS) to become slaves of the MIND.
The law of vibration is the next cause that is taking us in this realm of duality, time and space. It's most known aspect is the LAW of action and reaction in Est more known as Karma.
Etc...
