Is the devil male or female?

Answer 1

Female...***** of them all

Answer 2

It has to have a male side and a female side.

Nothing can tempt men like a woman can, so it makes sense that the devil must have a female facade or aspect that he/she can show. The sensuous, seductive aspect of the devil that makes us LOVE doing things that we know are bad or wrong, just has to be female.

But, the devil embodies the symbolism of reactivity and unbridled pride/arrogance. The devil wants to be more powerful than God. These are definitely male traits. The devil having a male side is the best explanation for his motive to attempt to dethrone God. And it also makes sense, because only a man would ever be that stupid.

Answer 3

Male

Answer 4

Assuming such a being exists, the claims made about Satan indicate that he can take either male or female form. As an angel (even if fallen) he is largely spirit and not limited by a single physical vessel. Many minor demons are said to be shape changers; certainly Satan would not allow a power to lesser devils which he did not himself possess.

Answer 5

Male

Answer 6

Answer 7

Male. Everyone knows THAT. Ever hear of a devil w/ a female voice ? Lol. :)

Answer 8

In the Bible, the devil is described as male.

Interestingly, many radical feminists of today get all bent out of shape because the God of the Bible is most often referred to as a male, as in a Father. They claim that is sexist. But they have NO problem with Satan being described as male! HAHAHAHA

PS: While God is most often described as a "Father," there are a few places in the Bible which describe him as a mother.

Answer 9

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan or the devil 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 10

The Devil is the father of Sin and the father and grandfather of Death,If you read Milton, the devil is male because he and his daughter (Sin) had an incestuous relation and had a child(Death).

Answer 11

The devil is no more a male than God is - we just use masculine pronouns to identify them because we don't have gender-neutral pronouns in the English language.
