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’s 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.

How many times are you going to post the exact same thing before you realize you're judging others? Since when does God smile on not loving your fellow human? Since when does God say it's ok to be mean of spirit or hateful towards others?
I guess I'll be seeing you down there at my office door looking for primo properties.

Judge not lest you be judged accordingly! All you bible thugs will probably be VERY SURPRISED when you find yourselves there someday, along with your so-called "holy ones".
As for me...Hell was invented by Christians, for Christians. I am Pagan, therefore, Hell does NOT apply. Christains have invented hell...let them deal with it.

Plenty. No, I will not be among you all. See, Jesus died for my sins and I accepted his grace. You, on the other hand, sound like someone who espouses salvation through works rather than by grace, and that's contrary to what the New Testament says.

Well, you of course, for preaching hatred, discrimination, bigotry and therefore violence against LGBT people.
If you also call yourself a 'christian' you'll also be there for being a hypocrite.
