Man was created as a soul--he doesn't possess one. The soul is you and the life within you, not some ethereal unknown that survives the death of the body. I have dedicated my life to God thru Jesus (the only mediator between God and man) and plan to continue to resist Satan's attacks and temptations. The reason? I love God and appreciate all the wonderful provisions he has made for all of us.

I will tell you that Satan will never have a hold on me as long as Jesus is alive in me. Satan promised even Jesus the whole world if he would bow down to him. Jesus told Satan to get behind him. It was Jehovah God that he Worshiped . That goes to show you even Jesus was tempted many times and the love and faith he had in his father was worth more then everything in the world.

They work closely together on the same team. 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 satan/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 Satan’s 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 Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Jesus does not have to win our souls we belong to him already. He created us. Satan on the other hand works very hard to send our souls to hell. That is his job. Jesus gives us the choice of living for him and getting our reward in heaven while Satan is just itching to watch his flock burn beside him in hell. Every time we do something wrong Satan holds his breath to see if we are going to ask God for forgiveness. If we don't he is jumping up and down laughing at us for being so stupid. He knows what he is doing even if we don't. May God bless you and lead you in the path of righteousness.

When I trusted in what the Lord Jesus did for me on the cross. The Holy Spirit sealed me unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4: 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit baptized me in the Body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12: 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, The Holy Spirit cut away my soul from my body with the circumcision made without hands. Colossians 2: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Satan may bother me but he can never get my soul.

God won my soul when I realised that everything in this world is but an aspect of God.
My soul belongs to no one but is part of everything so how can there be a custody battle????

Jesus has already won mine when I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. Jesus gave his life for me, giving Him my soul is the least I can do.

There was no battle I surrendered to Christ.
Why? Common sense, destiny, seeing what God really had in store for my life and letting go of the fear of the unknown.

Pink, just shake a chicken bone and garlic at Satan. Papa Justify said it would send Satan running.
