Satan wasn't even in the New Testament until the middle ages. The Christian leadership of the time decided the people were too dumb and illiterate to understand the concept of evil as a part of the world. Therefore they took that concept and attached to a Hodge podge of images they took from bits and pieces of the country Gods and built what they showed their sheep as a personification of evil and baptized the pictured creature Satan. Then they blamed every horrible or unexplained occurrence of death on this creature of their own making.
The schmucks fell for it and they are still sheep....even their own clergy call them flocks. . . . and they do shear them.

Read the whole Book of Job.
Satan is mentioned..prominently, not indirectly, and certainly not "not at all". Look at Job chapter 1 and verse 6 to see Satan mentioned as "Satan"
Read verses 6 through 20 to see how Satan was permitted to destroy Jobs property and kill his children.

Curses, you made me go fetch my Bible. That hasn't happened in awhile.
Edit: I just read the Book of Job and it never says he is evil. God started it by asking Satan (paraphrased), "See Jon there, is there a better man on earth?" And Satan says, "yeah, he's a good guy, but have you not blessed everything he touches?" And thus the bet is on. No mention is made of Satan being anything but a passerby.

Satan is mentioned in Job2:2, and Zechariah 3:1, If you are trying to find out if he was considered "evil" from the creation of man onward, then you should see John 8:44, where Jesus is speaking to certain Jews and says: "You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a man slayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar, and the father of the lie" You do know that the "serpent" in the Garden of Eden was Satan in disguise?

no individual may fall for the myths if God replaced right into a sturdy guy. faith relies upon heavily on manipulating the thoughts of human beings and suppressing their self sufficient rational idea. A rational individual may, for sure, question the morality of murdering chance free adult men, women human beings, little ones, cattle, organic world and timber. the in undemanding words those who may proceed to worship such an evil God have some style of emotional attachment to that God. they're easily no longer wondering rationally about it.

Two Old Testament passages (Isaiah 14:12-15) and (Ezekiel 28:11-19) furnish a picture of Satan's original position and the reasons for his loss of that position. They tell of an exalted angelic being, one of God's creatures, who became too proud and ambitious. He determined to take over the throne of God for himself. But God removed him from his position of great dignity and honor. As a result of his original status and authority, Satan had great power and dignity. So great is his strength that Michael the archangel viewed him as a foe too powerful to oppose (Jude 9).

Zechariah 3:1-2. In these verses, Satan is in resistance of God, and is rebuked. If you are in resistance to God, you have to be evil.

indirectly; yes. In Isaiah 14:12-21 & again in Ezekiel 28; both references are refering physically to individual humans while spiritually, they are referring to satan, the one who was cast down out of heaven & fell like lightening to the earth.

It does not even say Satan in the OT. The closest is Shatan in the book of Job.
