How was satan born?

Answer 1

he was an angel that fell from grace

Answer 2

There are more than one suspicions.

Christianity: Satan was born at the same time God was born. Because there is no shadow without light and there is no evil without good. You can think of him as the dark borther of God with the same divine abilities and powers.

Greeks: The devil was born with the world. His father is Khaos (meaning the chaos itself). From Khaos born good and evil, death and life, light and darkness... etc.

Mayan: some experts claim, that the Mayan fire-devil was born, when people explored the fire and began to use it.

Sociology: Satans is a reference to ancient human desires such as murder, pain, love, hate, sex...etc. So people created satan to have a retional reason for why do or not do different things.

Clergy: The clergy proclaimed Satan as a major-evil to protect christianity and the clergy itself from rebels and authorities.

I hope I could help a bit! :))

Answer 3

satan was not born, he was created by God to help him manage the earth and get the new system under way and headed into the right path He was Gods right hand man. Then nobody under his control had a restriction of free will, they were loyal and helping. drunken bastards they were, but they've done a good job. When satan got fed up of how god was running things, he tried to change the course and force everyone to believe that way all things acred wouldnt be at stake. so to speak. god got pissed, and kicked satan out. before he did, he banned him from walking th eearth and gave the poor lad a few guidlines to go by when he left. just to make sure that satan didnt just pop up somewhere and start showing off and scaring the humans. thats why angels cant act for themselves anymore, and satan and his people cant persuade us. they cant even hurt us pyshically.

Answer 4

I am surprised LEOMCHOLW was only given 11% for his excellent answer. As a second level forum member myself I would have awarded him best answer so far.

Very few forum members mentioned that the personalized SATAN is man made, as indeed all personalized dieties.

The architect of the Universe, sometimes known as GOD or Jehovah or Yaweth or The Great Spirit is certainly NOT a person but a force or spirit, the creator of all things.

Early man, having separated himself from lower animals when he evolved enough to "know that he knew" and possess a conscience and be able to contemplate (read The Phenomenon of Man by Pierre Chardin) soon realized that there was "good and evil" in his actions. The struggle to always do "good" has always had a "godly" effort and it was natural for early religious leaders to want a label for the "evil" component of man. What better than to take from the Jewish Bible the name "Satan" or "Lucifer" to describe this side of ourselves.

Of course the name is purely allegorical since the greteast men of our time often exhibit "evil" as they also exhibit "good". Just think of the commandment about "adultery" and then think of one of the most revered Presidents of United States with his back children out of wedlock (Jefferson) and the illustration of good and evil is apparent.

Regrettably the Catholic Church still clings to the personalization of "Satan" and even has a priest in Chicago that is reputed to be an expert in "excorcizing" the "devil" from possessed people.

Of course this seems medieval and archaic to most enlightened persons but such mythology still exists in the church to-day.

Answer 5

Satan was created by the Christians in order to try and covert all Pagans to the new religion of one god (the christian satan is a take on the pagan earth god or horned god). If they scared the old religion into thinking their gods were heathen and evil then they would convert to worship the one god...
satan wasn't born.

Answer 6

In mainstream Christianity's understanding of the holy Hebrew scriptures, the Torah, the one named Satan, (also called the Devil) is shown to be an angel who rebelled against God – the one who spoke through the serpent and seduced Eve into disobeying God's command. The name Lucifer is sometimes used in Christian theology to refer to Satan, from a reference to Isaiah 14:12-14. Although many Christians suggest that in context, it referred to none other than the King of Babylon himself, having figuratively fallen from heaven and ate grass like an ox. Satan is described throughout the Christian New Testament as hating all humankind. His ultimate goal is to lead people away from the love of God – to lead them to fallacies that God opposes. Satan is also identified as the accuser of Job, the tempter of the Gospels, the secret power of lawlessness in 2 Thessalonians 2:7, and the dragon in the Book of Revelation. It is widely believed that before his insurrection, Satan was the highest of all angels and the "brightest in the sky." His pride is considered a reason why he would not bow to God as all other angels did, but sought to rule heaven himself.

It is from this reason also where the notion of pride being one of the most deadly of sins arose. Within Christianity he is called "the ruler of the demons" (Matt. 12:24); "the ruler of the world" and even "the god of this world." (2Cor. 4:4) The Book of Revelation described how Satan was cast out of Heaven, down to the earth, having "great anger" and waging war against "those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus." Satan was never "born" per se, but rather was the highest angel of God who in the end became corrupt by his own pride. Ultimately, it is prophesized that upon the rapture, God will descend upon the Earth and judge all of humanity – accepting the faithful followers to heaven, and casting the sinners down into hell in the lake of fire. It is here that Satan will also finally be thrown forever into the "lake of fire" (Revelation 20:10), not as ruler, but as one among many, being treated no different from all the others who have been cast there as well.

Answer 7

Satan was not born. He once was an angel of God and he started to disobey. So he was send away from heaven. Since than satan existed. you should be carefull with him as he is good in tempting God's children.

Answer 8

Satan was an angel in heaven. He was the most beautiful angel. He started to think of himself as equal to God or even better than God. He was banished from heaven as was one third of the angels who followed Satan, and cast into hell. He became ugly when he became bad and became the Devil. Devil, Satan, Lucifer- all the same being.

Answer 9

Angels where made not born.The first Angel made was Jesus and was to become known as the son of God who came down to earth.
Before he came down to earth though God anointed Jesus to sit at his right hand side and become second in command.A third of the Angels became jealous and this eventually led to war in heaven commanded by the most powerful of the angels Lucifer the bearer of light. But they where over powered and cast down with his angels to become Satan the desolate one the nail the most powerful force in the world.This is because God allows it,to tempt man in to sin, "the mother of death the father being Satan",to weed out in-pure souls and make man ever more God like, this being Gods final goal.

Answer 10

Satan was created by God. Satan existed LONG before christianity.

To deny spiritualism because we think we are enlightened is just another one of Satan's devices to keep us following him instead of seeking the creator - God.

Answer 11

God created him. It makes no reference in the Bible as to how satan was born.
