It really doesn't matter if there is ONE evil being called SATAN
or not, because there are billions of evil beings in Creation.
The term Devil, usually refers to the personification of evil.
Satan, the devil, it's just a focus point. Easier than naming every kind of evil.
The word EVIL is the word LIVE spelled backward. Evil does
everything in reverse of good. Evil is anything that keeps us
from living and enjoying life.
Even if it's just a negative way of thinking.

YES!! Once again I must refer to the great book of Revelation.
Rev. 12:9
"And the great dragon was cast out, that cold serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out ito the earth, and his angels were cast out with him"
Revelation 12:3-4 also tells us that he is a red dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns and 7 crowns and that his tail drew the third part of the star of heaven.

The "Devil" [ Caligastia ] was the prince of this world. Lucifer and Satan are imprisoned , but caligastia is on the loose. He has been shorn of most of his powers , but he ain't stupid.

I believe the idea of the devil to be more symbolic and I personally do not take him literally.

Yes, the Angels that were Kicked out of Heaven.
Their Invisible.
Can't Prove it.
Jesus is Invisible too (when HE wants to be), can't Prove HIM Either.
Just Ask Jesus if HE is Real.
HE is the One Who will Prove that HE is Real---To YOU.
HE is the Only One that Can Prove it.
HE Loves you.

Absolutely and he is a very powerful being with relation to humans. Fortunately, with relation to God, he is not very powerful at all and will soon be put into a state of inactivity and finally he will be eliminated along with all who have put faith in him.

Yes and it can be found in the heart of man. If you asked the same question regarding animals - wouldn't that be absurd?

Satan used to be Lucifer - the most beautiful and powerful of God's angels. Satan was cast from heaven because he wanted to place himself higher than God. He is a true being, and very powerful, but his power is insignificant compared to our all powerful God. However, he is not to be trifled with - he's big and and very bad.
