Devils and Satan are believed to be playing around cemetery in nights and on specific days of the week. I lived in a church mansion over-looking the cemetery. I did not find a single one there. If we attribute evil qualities to draw them I find many around me and I too am no exception. On human form they represent exploiters, faith merchants, Robed Judas Iscariots who betray their faith and loyalty for returns in gold standards, pimps who are procurers of ‘poverty objects’ for pleasure, violators of human dignity and so many others. A Commercial Evangelist in his TV programme presents along with him the Satan in caricature - two horns, jet-black complexion and a heavenly pointed tail - playing around in joy. He mentions the devil in abusive and offensive adjectives and blames him for causing all human miseries including sowing of diseases that make them to pray for cure – of course for good returns. I am amused and confused! Could you enlighten me please? lileeann33

Satan is a spirit and yes he is here. A merchant wants to sell his product so he puts nice looking but particially undressed girl on the beer commercial. He is using something to produce a reaction in men.
Men see the commercial but within them they have a problem with responding not to the taste of the beer but to the fantasy of the girl. The temptation is within the person. The stimuli is usually outside the person. You could say well that is not Satan but a merchant but Satan again used his wits to tempt the merchant by a thought of bigger profits. We call it marketing but marketing people study humans to find out how we respond. (The reptilian urge) . Is it legal. Sure. Is it OK. Debatable of what it limits should be.

Never seen him but I have seen his actions and kind of heard him. My dad is a preacher so he has performed many excersisms, and i remember once the man that held the devil within him was literally being choked inside by the devil within and the devil was shouting/talking through him. But to answer your question, no i have never seen him in human form and probably only people who worship the devil would ever see him.

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.

I've never seen the devil except on TV and at the movies - and in some Christian comic books. There is no devil. It's a myth.

I know of this Satan you speak of, few know his real name The Angel of Light. He is everywhere informing things of the celebration of Spirit. But many are confused as to his purpose because of unworthy teachers. Seek on this subject as you have begun and you will understand all things.

It wasn't people who created the foodstuff chain. potential comes from the solar, gets switched over into vegetation that are eaten with the help of animals who're eaten with the help of larger, smarter animals. this is area of this experience you call life. Is it evil while a tiger eats a deer? many of the abuses you cite are led to with the help of stupidity. they're curtailed while they alter into time-commemorated. There are greater trees immediately than 50 years in the past because of the fact loggers replant. There are fewer woodland fires than there have been till now logging. there is greater foodstuff than ever because of the fact of chemical compounds. there is far less ailment than ever because of the fact of chemical compounds. in keeping with risk you will possibly desire to bypass lower back to a time while animals ate people on a in many circumstances happening foundation, ailments killed million of folk in many circumstances, people traveled with the help of jogging or horseback, toddler death replace into elementary, famines wiped out finished international locations and a lengthy life replace into 50 years yet no longer me.
