Apparently, this devil character was one of the angels that God had created. When Man was created, God asked these angels to bow before his creation. But this fella refused to do so because he preferred to bow down only in front of God. So God became angry with him and cast him out of Heaven; Right?

True.
For Jews, anything that even remotely conflicts with the idea that God is One and Indivisible will be rejected because it precludes true, pure, monotheism. The idea that there is a God in heaven above who fights against a god of the underworld, or hell, is not monotheism, however, it is the same duality found in other pagan faiths. The Bible speaks of a character known as The Satan, who acts like a prosecuting attorney, or a district attorney, in God's court. However, The Satan has no power or authority in and of himself, rather he must get permission from the Judge, God, to do anything.

technically yes. the way i know it is, Lucifer(the angel) was God's best and favorite angel. Lucifer was so good that he became to think that he was better than God. The good Lord being all knowing, cast him down. then you got hell. That is why the devil is weaker than God b/c he has been from the very begining. Infact, God created the Devil.

Yes and No...his name was Lucifer, he was the leader of I believe Music in heaven...he was the most beautiful angel and God loved him very much...Then he tried to basically organize a coup against God, because he became jealous of His power so he cast him out of heaven..not because he refused to bow down to God or His creations...

Where did you get this info? It is so scripturally inaccurate and a big deception.....in the Book of Ezekiel in the Holy Bible, it tells about the origin of the devil, and let me give you a brief synopsis.....his original name is Lucifer, and he was the top angel of Heaven, God's "right hand man" so to speak.....he was the head of the heavenly choir, and top musician.....one day (and it remains a mystery to this day), Lucifer decided he wanted to place himself above God, and with a cunning tongue, actually convinced one-third of the angels to join him in rebellion against the Most High.....when God saw the iniquity in Lucifer's heart, God immediately cast him outta Heaven.....Jesus Christ even speaks about this in the Gospels......man was made later, and to get even with God, Satan (which is the name given to Lucifer after he was cast outta Heaven, Hebrew for "adversary") seduced Eve into rebelling against God as well, and chaos and havoc have dominated this planet ever since.....it all started when Lucifer wanted to place himself above the Lord God Almighty.....straight up sentiments, and blessings to you.....

Sara, I have the honor of reading the writings of a "Top Contributor". Way to go.
Regarding Satan and company. You got it right. He has a dossier of considerable length for being skeptical, curious, arrogant and provocative. I did a Bible search but could not find any felonious offenses.
Satan, like man, was created in God's image and God doesn't like it when we act like God.
I'd rather grovel before a Top Contributor.

Basically, Satan was God's highest angel whose purpose was to reflect the glory of God so the other angels could see Him. Because of this, he was the most beautiful of the angels. Then he became prideful and believed himself to be better than God, so he was sent to hell along with his followers (demons).
Hope that gets the story straight for you!

Not right. He is fighting God. He is against God.Fighting against good deeds. Tempting mankind to commit sin.
The atheists and wiccans and other satanistic group are under his reigned and are the followers of Satan. All groups against God are considered possesed with the evil spirit.

I think you may have worded your question wrong. I don't think God would cast Satan out of Heaven for not respecting His creation while still playing complete homage to God Himself. Satan tried to overthrow God and conquer Heaven, which is what got him kicked out.

no, u r wrong, God throwed him(lucifer) out of heaven before man was created and then he became the devil who tempted adam and evil and destroyed the whole world till Lord Jesus Christ came and saved the whole world by his precious blood.

Maybe. No one knows what the 'test' actually was but it is assumed that the sin was one of pride.
