How often does the devil come down to Georgia?

Question

Is that the prime place to search for souls when he is in a bind and way behind? Does he think California is not good enough?

Answer 1

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.

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

Satan

adversary; accuser. When used as a proper name, the Hebrew word so rendered has
the article "the adversary" (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-7). In the New Testament it is
used as interchangeable with Diabolos, or the devil, and is so used more than
thirty times. He is also called "the dragon," "the old serpent" (Rev. 12:9;
20:2); "the prince of this world" (John 12:31; 14:30); "the prince of the power
of the air" (Eph. 2:2); "the god of this world" (2 Cor. 4:4); "the spirit that
now worketh in the children of disobedience" (Eph. 2:2). The distinct
personality of Satan and his activity among men are thus obviously recognized.
He tempted our Lord in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-11). He is "Beelzebub, the
prince of the devils" (12:24). He is "the constant enemy of God, of Christ, of
the divine kingdom, of the followers of Christ, and of all truth; full of
falsehood and all malice, and exciting and seducing to evil in every possible
way." His power is very great in the world. He is a "roaring lion, seeking whom
he may devour" (1 Pet. 5:8). Men are said to be "taken captive by him" (2 Tim.
2:26). Christians are warned against his "devices" (2 Cor. 2:11), and called on
to "resist" him (James 4:7). Christ redeems his people from "him that had the
power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). Satan has the "power of
death," not as lord, but simply as executioner.
