In Christian doctrine is Satan Omnipresent?
Is this mentioned because he has to be if he is able to tempt everybody on the planet.
I thought he was just an Angel.

Read the book of Job when satan did the things he did.
No, satan isn't God.
So? I think satan was a beatutful winged dragon (angel) now is the big red dragon who led 1/3 of Gods angels to rebellion & they all fell from heaven. Maybe they all resemble dragons or maybe they don't (in the spirit realm). This is a new thought that is coming to my mind. One of the powers of satan in the spirit realm is to also appear as an angel of light. So? Can also spiritually look like a regular winged Cherebim.
Jesus said that hell was prepared for the devil & his angels. Angels are messengers. But Lucifer was specifically called winged Cherabim. So he was a beautuful winged angel. Now he is a fallen angel & may have lost his wings.

No, Satan is NOT omnipresent. Any Christian teaching which claims that he can be is a deception itself. He is an angel, and can move like an angel, and DOES go to and fro in all the earth, but you must remember- he wasn't at the LORD's side at all times, who are we to be so arrogant to think he'd be at ours?

i think of an enlightened point of Christianity does no longer question blame. i think working in a hundred% faith, one does no longer question God's works. Any journey that occurs, is for a reason, that reason being God's will. And if one does no longer function in a hundred% faith in God, consistent with hazard they are no longer Christian- or dedicated for that count number. i think there's a spiritual revelation Christians (or people who prepare any faith) are extra susceptible to discern in reaction to a divine power- GOD! And this revelation reflects the steadiness between stable and evil. i think this discernment is obtained by prayer, meditation, mirrored photograph, and so on... As you will see, people who're actual 'Christians' do no longer provide devil any power and all glory remains with God. yet they are no longer silly, so they properly known which forces function around them and function the skill to discern stable from undesirable.

If God is omnipresent then where is the question coming from. Bringing God into a human conceptual form is what is called Satan. If God is perfect then why is this dual concept still thriving? If God is perfect the only thing wrong is happening in your mind. Notice where evil is. It is in the judgments of the mind.

Balance is required to keep everything straight. You can't have free will without temptation. Even angels fall just as birds have fallen from the sky. All that we are capable of lies within. We struggle to maintain balance internally and externally. Satan represents the darkness of the soul while God represents the light. You can't know the one without knowing the other.

Satan represents the temptation people choose to allow or invite into their lives by choice. That also includes the pipe dream of those who preach "nobody" has say or free will concerning their own behavior or the gossip that there is no difference between right and wrong (love and hate).

Satan is not omnipresent
He can only "be" at "one place" at "one time" . . . whatever that means . . . I do not claim to be able to explain that . . .
He does have helpers . . . demons . . . they do a lot of work for Satan . . . tempting people, working the 'dark side' . . . there seems to be a hierarchy of demons and work inside the system of the "kingdom of Satan."
btw: Christians should understand how arrogant it is to say, 'Satan tempted me' . . . this statement assumes 'you' are so important, that Satan would take time to mess with you . . .
but it is noteworthy to see that Satan did tempt Jesus . . . personally . . .

You and I and everyone else are temples of the Holy Spirit. By giving into temptations we are serving ourselves in place of Almighty God just as Satan refused to bow down to what he saw as a "lesser creation." Satan is the lord of this world but only has what power you give him. And just as all things of this world will pass, so shall he.

Only God is omnipresent. Satan cannot be everywhere at one time.......he has plenty of wicked spirits to do his bidding. BTW - Christians have power over the enemy........we are told to resist the devil and he will flee from us.........James 4:7........and that includes his demons.

Satan is powerful but not omnipresent.
Job 1:7
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
