How would you describe the devil?

Question

Is he here among us, casting doubts on God and his word? Does he use forgeries to cast doubt on God's abitlity to create? Does he induce us to cast aside God so that we won't be accountable to him?

Does he even lead us to believe he does not exist?

Answer 1

2 Cor. 11:14-15
No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of rightheousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

One of te names of Satan is The Deceiver, in Revelation he is the Great Dragon, that Old Snake. He is also called The accuser of the Brethren.

Make no mistake you are still accountable to God, even if you have believed the Great Lie.

John 8:44
"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Answer 4

You ever heard the Rolling Stones' song sympathy for the devil? If not ,listen to it. The devil is very pretty / handsome and cunning. He / She comes in many ways,subtle like, telling you to do or think against what you know is right. Whispering in your ear " know one will know / find out. Go ahead and covet your neighbor' wife or properties', GOD is a fool and lays down rules for fools. JESUS never existed and their is no GOD and I am not real either so do as you please. Yes he does walk among us and tries to get inside us and when I hear him whispering something wrong in my ear i SAY "devil, get behind thee"!!!! and the thought or idea leaves. The devil is slick and cunning so WATCH OUT!!

Answer 6

His M.O. never changes. It is lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life. So, I'd start describing him like that. He will tell you ten truths to get you to believe just one lie. His primary objective is to destroy people because he cannot destroy God. God gave him the boot, so he wants to be a destroyer of all God's creation, including man. He invented war.

That's how I describe him.

Answer 7

The devil is the great deceiver who has created the many false gods (greed, lust, power, hatred, allah, etc) to distract and keep us from the love and mercy of the one true God.

Answer 8

As non existent, just a concept in which humans created to hide their faults and evil ways. No the devil is not out to get you, were out to get and torture ourselves. Dont believe that not believing in God is bad. without him you will be able to reason. Were ALL going to DIE!

Answer 9

Stop asking questions that can't be answered, why would we know if he exists, there is no solid evidence. If he does exists we still wouldn't know what he does. I'm an agnostic Christian so I think than IF he exists that he is the one who punishes the bad people. He is doing his job if that is the case.

Answer 10

A figment of some people's imaginations. Right up there with the boogie man and the monster hiding under your bed.
