do u believe in the existence and power of "satan" on this world?

Answer 1

Blaming satan, lololol "the debil made um do it"..... convenient way to account for moral bankruptcy.

Answer 2

The bible made it so clear that whole creation is under the power of the Satan.

he is the god of this age 2Cor 4:4 and he has indeed blinded the hearts of men lest they should believe in and be saved.

But the good news is that when you are born-again, meaning you have come through the way Jesus Christ (John 4:16), You have become a new creation and behold old things has passed away and all things are become new - 2Cor 5:17.

As a born again child of God you are superior to satan and all his tactics for your life has been hidden with Christ in God - Colosians 3:3.

The very life of God in you makes you an overcomer, for greater is the One (Holy Spirit that lives in you more than the one(satan) that lives in the world - 1John 4:4.

Answer 3

Although he has persuaded many people in our modern world that he doesn't even exist, Satan very definitely is a real, personal being, the fountainhead of all unbelief and of every kind of moral and spiritual evil in the world. He is called by various names in the Bible, including Satan (meaning, “adversary”—Job 1:6; Romans 16:20; etc.), the devil (i.e., “slanderer”—Matthew 4:1; 1 Peter 5:8; etc.), Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12), the serpent (2 Corinthians 11:3; Revelation 12:9; etc.), and many others.

Answer 4

Humans go to to many extremes being emotional by nature. It's everything or nothing with them. But reality has many dimensions.
The Creative and Destructive, (Recycling), aspects in Creation are nuetral. The just exist.
But there are zillions of lifeforms out there, with free will. And many chose to do wrong. These are the Powers of Evil. Who without, there could be no ruler, Satan or otherwise.

Answer 5

Without a doubt in my mind. Satan and his demons are doing a number on this world right now, just look at the lack of morals in society in the last 50 years! Abortion and the extremely high divorce rate just to name two (but there are SO many more).

Also look at how the devil is infiltrating the Catholic Church through using these so called "rationalists." Modernism is the nuke of Satan, and he is using it with great effect in the Church today. But, as St. Matthew 16:18 tells us, the gates of hell will never prevail against the Church. Sure, Satan and his demons will win their battles, and they will continue to win more and more until Christ comes again, but the WAR will be won by God.

Answer 6

No satan is an invention, the word originally meant "Obstacle" but someone decided to turn it into an evil being. So Satan wants to kill people, aren't we going to die anyway, what is the point. I'm just pointing out the stupidiy of seeing Satan as some type of being, by adults anyhow, kids can be forgiven for being gullible.

Answer 7

I believe in the power of the evil that lives in all of us. I am not a believer in Satan.

Answer 8

I always believed that an all knowing and all loving God would not create a figure named Satan. I think unfortunately the belief in Satan puts many Christians in the same ballpark as the pagans. Wake up people when you screw up it is your fault not Satan's and stop insulting God's intelligence. Man wrote the bible so therefore it is flawed repeat flawed. If you cannot and will not acknowledge this then that is your business. By giving me a thumbs down you are accepting what I say as the truth.

Answer 9

The Bible teaches that the Devil is the unseen ruler of this world (2 Corinthians 4:3-4, Ephesians 6:11-12), and that's clear to see by the state that it's in. That's how he was able to tempt Jesus with the kingdoms of the world (Luke 4:5-7). This world is passing away though (1 John 2:17), and to live in God's future world you need to study the Bible (John 17:3).

2 Corinthians 4:3-4
If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.

Ephesians 6:12
12 because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places

Luke 4:5-7
5 So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time; 6 and the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and the glory of them, because it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I wish I give it. 7 You, therefore, if you do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.”

1 John 2:17
Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.

John 17:3
This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

well yes to an extent because we r the ones that give satan all the power he needs to do w/e he wants but if we stay on the right path we have nothing to fear because if we don't watch a porno we won't be tempted to see the breasts because we aren't there ( at least it makes sence in my head thats all that matters )

Answer 11

1 John 5:19............We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one

2 Corinthians 4:4...........among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through

2 Corinthians 11:14.......And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light....
