Answer 1

Yes, Satan did challenge God, not only in the garden of Eden, but also in the book of Job, making righteous Job the object of his challenge. True Christians today are also involved in that challenge for Satan continues to taunt God even now and will continue to do so until he is destroyed. We must prove Satan to be a liar and make our stand on our God Jehovah's side.

Answer 2

Yes Satan challenged Gods right to rule in the Garden and when Satan was thrown down to earth where he had ruled over the people in his own little way. He has been influencing them to stay away from God. But after God has given Satan the amount of time needed to prove that Gods people dont worship him for selfish reason and that he does have the right to rule Satan and all his demons will be destroyed where earth will be restored to what it once was, a perfect paradise where the meek will inherit the earth.

Answer 3

Most certainly. Satan challenged God's right to govern His human creation. By telling Eve she would not die if she ate the forbidden fruit, Satan called God a liar.

Answer 4

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 Gods 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.

Answer 6

No, it is just a story. God and Satan don't really exist, and there never was an Eden. That story was a derivative of earlier creation myths.

However, even if you go by the original story, Satan wasn't mentioned in it. The Jews really didn't believe in an embodiment of evil in a single being. The Christians reinterpretted the story later.

Answer 7

It was a serpent, not a devil, who tempted Eve. Reread your Bible and see. The Satan wasn't invented until much later. He was copied from Ahriman the evil god of Zoroastrianism during the Persian Captivity.
