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.
Love and blessings

Satan Cuss he gave U lust, Christ Loves the Virgin, Who waits on him, he Will find love forever. the three woman The devil Gave U is a illusion. IF U had sex U lost Love. The devil always wants U to make sure U lost heavenly treasure, and maybe even ur sole.( If the virgin waits on Christ for heaven, U will have a eternal Tresure) U will never have Gods Greatest Tresure. For Christ said Save URself For the Kingdom of God. Do U know what the Tresure is that U lost, I bet the devil is saying in ur mind sex with God. well some minds anyway, not the Christian.

Simple Satan leads many to hell through pride, money and yep.. sex. So after you've had your STD treated maybe you should think about what you want to be doing 100 years from now.
and next week you can sign up for a math course too.

WOW! That has to be the easiest question here. Definitely Satan! In order to thank Jesus you would have to be married to one of those supermodels and you would have to kick the other two to the curb!

Thank God for creating beautiful people for you, and thank Satan for taking your soul away. Without a soul your life will end here, and you will miss the eternal life.
