Is there really a devil?

Question

Is there really a devil? Is there really a god?

Answer 1

Only the dead know. Besides the only devil I really know about lives in the White House.

Answer 2

There is no evidence of any kind that the devil or god are real. None. There is considerable evidence that they are completely human-invented mythical figures meant to calm people's fear of dying (in the case of god), and provide a "boogey-man" type of figure to blame bad things on (in the case of the devil).

Many human societies and religions other than christianity (though not all by any means) have had a "devil" type of figure, though his actions, duties, and influence vary greatly. It's convenient to have somebody around to blame your own bad behavior on. It's scary to children to tell them that the devil will punish them if they're bad. However, none of these ideas have any basis in reality.

The world would be a much better place if all people would take responsibility for their own actions, good and bad, instead of blaming the devil for bad things, and pretending "god" had anything to do with good things. I look forward to the day when all humans are educated and rational enough to finally toss ancient superstitions and fairy tales. :)

Answer 3

Yes to both. But never make the mistake of thinking they are equally matched adversaries, as portrayed in cheesy fiction. The devil is a creation of God, one of his angels, who rebelled against his Maker. He is not a threat to God, and is permitted to exist only for a time. He IS a threat to us, if we try to deal with him on our own. He was an angel, created before time, and privy to great wisdom once. He'll outwit you and turn you inside out before you even get started. You can't fight him, or defend yourself against him. Luckily, God loves us enough that he gave us a Protector and a Champion, someone the devil can't even touch. Someone even stronger, even wiser. His name is Jesus. Without Him, you don't stand a chance.

Answer 4

Are you really here? You are..arent you. So is God and so it the devil.

Answer 5

Well, there really is a devil, he used to live with me! And God, yes there is a God, he delivered me from the evil. And luckily, the devil married someone else and now she is in HELL.

Answer 6

And, because it happened, it exchange into their lot to have fallen into the hands of a greater hardened and a greater stiffnecked human beings; hence they'd not hearken unto their words, and that they had solid them out, and had smitten them, and had pushed them from homestead to homestead, and from place to place, even till they had arrived interior the land of Middoni; and there they have been taken and solid into penal complex, and sure with good cords, and stored in penal complex for many days, and have been introduced by using Lamoni and Ammon.

Answer 7

There is an entity who became known as Satan. He is kind of over rated really and just someone to blame evil on. There are a lot of "gods" but only one Creator.

Answer 8

That question has everything to do with what you believe. No one can tell you what you should think. You should try reading into religions and find the views in one that most suit you. I think I am more chirstian but I believe the Bible is ways to live a good life, not rules, as most organized religion views it as. You will know what feels right to you and good luck to you

Answer 9

YES there really is a devil and Yes there really is a God and He and I have a personal relationship

Answer 10

yes and yes of corse, but i still dont see how ive convinced you. people ask this all the time, and i try to explain it, but really, youd have to go to church and live as a christian to truly understand. the real question is, are you willing to believe in God and the devil?
