he was one of the cherub of God (Ezekiel 28.11) (2 Corithians 4:4) that means that angels are gods also, because they are sons of God (job 1:6) and like Jesus is God because is the son of God, there are many gods (psalms 83:1,6). and Jesus has many youngers brothers, because he is the first begotten. Am i right?

The bible said that Satan is a god (2 Corithians 4:4) and a was a cherub (Ezekiel 28:10) unless the bible lies he is a god.

nobody can´t answer this, because you had never think that Satan is a god, where in the bible said that a god couldn´t be destroyed or punished, and about the brothers, is logical and biblically correct.

Absolutely. Satan was an angel, matter of fact he was the most beautiful angel and if I'm not mistaken he was the head angel. But once upon a time he became full of himself and wanted to be God so God threw him out with all the other angels that decided to follow Lucifer's lead. Then Satan comes to earth trying to convince people he is God when he is not but people fall for it making him a false god.

[Ezekiel 28:11] The word of the Lord came to me: (No mention of satan here)

[2 Corinthians 4:4] The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (The only thing here that could even hint at satan would be the first uncapitalized god, which if you read the Bible, all throught out it the word "god" is used when it is a false god that humans try to replace the one true God with. Idolatry (Idol worship or worship of false gods))

[Job 1:6] One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. (If you notice here, Satan had to come when the angels came and had to present himself before the Lord which means that he had to identify a figure of authority. The Lord is Jesus Christ.)

[Psalms 83:1-8] {1} O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still. {2} See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads. {3} With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. {4} "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more." {5} With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you - {6} the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites, {7} Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre. {8} Even Assyria has joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot. (Also no mention of Satan anywhere in this scripture.)

Seems to me you really don't know your Bible too well. You might want to read the Bible a bit more before using scripture without knowing what is actually written. Happy reading.

The bible said that Satan is a god (2 Corinthians 4:4) and a was a cherub (Ezekiel 28:10) unless the bible lies he is a god

In proper order he was a cherub (Ezekiel 28:10)--an angelic being. Later,The bible said that Satan is a god (2 Corinthians 4:4) He thought himself equal to the Father and was cast from the heavens. Satan set up a kingdom on earth, where he abides now. He is a cherub, that lost his place in heaven because he thought himself equal to God. He has become god to some on earth. It does not state that he is God. It states he is a god.(A CHERUB=WHO TRIED TO BE GOD AND FAILED. God has the power to destroy Cherub or god.
Jesus acknowledged his parents He said"you have made of my fathers house a den of thieves." "I and my father are one" "if you have seen me, you have seen the Father." and at the temple he told his mother "I must be about my Fathers business." On the cross he said "Woman behold the son."
Satan may be you god but he can never equal God the Father.

Any thing, image or idea can be your god(little g). Any of these you place above God or as the highest priority in your life is a god(little g). There is only one true omniscient, all knowing, all powerful God(big G). (Job 1:8-12) God is more powerful than Satan. Satan had only the power over Job that God gave him.
In 1 John 3:1, Philippians 2:15, John 1:12 we are referred to as sons of God however in the Hebrew text the word translated as son actually means - to shine, a light
In Job 1:6, 2:1, the sons of God do not refer to Satan who came with them,
the definition is a letter, writing, scripture
In Mark1:1, Luke 3:2, Matthew 27:43, John 3:17 all refer to Jesus the Son of God. In these cases the definition is an actual kinship. Yes Jesus is the first begotten, but only of Mary, nowhere in the Bible does it refer to Jesus as the first begotten son. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his ONLY begotten Son... 'only begotten' is also found in John 1:14,18, 3:18.
So is Satan 'a god' yes. Satan is a god with a little g not the type of god Jesus the Son and God the Father are.

"God" means mighty one. Satan is a god. The Bible says that at 2 Cor. 4:4, calling him the "god of this world." Jesus is not God. He is the Son of God. John 10:36

Ez. 28:2-19 is not talking about Satan. It's talking about the Kingdom of Tyre.

You are on to something. I agree. "God" is not a name, it is a title. Angels play alot more important role than we know through the watered down texts we read. They are like gods themselves. The ancient jewish texts even state God gave dominion over the world to 70 different angels-therefore making them Gods in their own right. John 10:33-35 declares we are Gods too. I find it interesting how little evil he is truly guilty of in the bible. Yet he is held accountable for all man's sins. The original being merely a belief that mankind was indeed intitled to the fruits of knowledge--odd sin... I study this alot and here are a few sites that might help.

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.

Satan comes into Christianity from Zoroastrianism. In this Persian religion - which still exists in India - he is the Prince of Darkness, the enemy of Ahura-Mazda, the Prince of Light.

In the Zoroastrian scriptures, you can read how this Satan figure takes the good guy to a high place and shows him all the kingdoms of the world and offers to give them to him if he will renounce his faith. The New Testament version of this story is cribbed right out of the Avestas of the Zoroastrians.

I forget the name of Satan in Zoroastrianism. As to the name "Satan", it is apparently derived from the name of the bad guy "Set" in ancient Egyptian religion.

We are children of God in a Spiritual sense, just like the Angels. God created us! He didn't create us to be gods. Satan is not a god, he was just created by God!

thats not true you must be misunderstanding something in your bible. angels are NOT sons / daughters of god. they are a creation he made .. kind of like humans only angels have powers and most have wings. Lucifer was NEVER a god. he was how ever one of the high ranking angels that betrayed god which is why he was cast out of heaven and into hell. which is where he now rules. he never has been and never will be a god. hence why he is only called 'the dark lord' NEVER (atleast to my knowledge) has anyone ever refered to him as the dark god.

Is a god because God need bad things to fix. Is like the Jim-Jam, the + - of the same battery, order and entropy, black and white, etc.
A good God alone is nonsense.
