How do you know about Satan and Lucifer?

Question

AND WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE SATAN STORIES FROM?
When the bible supposedly speaks of Lucifer it is highly interpretive, Lucifer could have been just some high priest or prince in Egypt--we ARE talking 4000 years ago!
And revelations was written 100 years after Christ's death and was just some scribblings that were up and decided to be put in as the grand finally to the bible by the Catholic church a few hundred years later--only because it was kind of old!
Now, any meantion of Satan and Lucifer or Hell in the Bible is incredibly vague.
Where do you get your colorful stories about Satan? Are you sure it is not just traditional myth handed down through word of mouth since it seems so many of you have it committed to memory? Are you sure the people who told other people who in turn told other people who told you didn't get most of it from fictional books, namely 'Paradise Lost'?

Answer 1

Lucifer is Adam, the first man that "god" created, Satan is the stolen image of the God of the Forest in Wiccan practice.

Answer 2

I think you need to do more research and read the Bible more closely. There's a saying that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Revelations was written by John, and was not some scribblings that were put in the Bible by the Catholic church. The Bible was not assembled in chronological order, that's all.
The "colorful stories" about Satan are not "incredibly vague". He is mentioned in many different books in the Bible and he was kicked out of Heaven after a mighty war. I could go into the whole thing, but I don't have the time. Obviously you do, so pick up a copy of the King James version and start reading. It looks like you do a lot of that - you must have read Paradise Lost, or you wouldn't know the contents, so you have time to read the Bible and learn some facts.

Answer 3

OK first of all, how could Revelations be written 100 years later after Christ when the bible was already fully established 12 years after Christ? The New Testament was written by eye witnesses who had seen with their own eyes.
And I'm sure that the fall of Satan happened way more than 4000 years ago as there's no telling how long Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden til the day they decided to sin as soon as Lucifer was casted out of heaven.
I don't know what stories you've heard but there's a lot of stories about Satan in the bible. And the Holy Bible was written way before "Paradise Lost".

Answer 4

Hello friend,
If you have a heart to truly learn the real answer to your question, I can tell you where to find the answer.

Read Ezek.28:11-19. Here, in Eternity past, you can read of Satan's
origin. Read also, Isa. 14:12-20. Keep both passages open and look at the similarities.

This all took place before this earth was formed. In these passages, you'll see a comparative text that uses a human analogy to help you understand a spiritual concept. I.E. Lucifer's fall.
By the way, Lucifer means shining one or light bearer.

Blessings,
2 Tim. 2:7

Answer 5

Read the Bible to find out what it says about Satan. No book was ever put in the Bible because it was kind of old. There are many "kind of old" books that were left out, so that could never have been a criteria.

Answer 6

Certainly places like "The Devil and Daniel Webster" and "Faust", but there are mentions in the Bible. The Book of Job and Jesus' 40 days in the desert ("Get thee behind me!")

Answer 7

satan,devil,lucifer are all he same thing.They are Jinns.Creature created by God from smokeless fire,whereas human is from mud and angels is from light.
