"TRUE"
Do you think of him as a real person who tempts people to do wicked things, or does he merely represent the principle of evil? Is the Devil someone to be feared, or should he be dismissed as nothing more than a superstitious notion or a mythological unreality? Does the word “devil” refer to some abstract destructive force in the universe? Could the term simply be a symbol of the evil traits in humans, as many modern theologians claim?
It is not surprising that mankind is divided on the question of who the Devil is. Imagine how difficult it can be to discover the true identity of someone who is a master of disguise! Particularly is that so if he is determined to remain concealed behind a mask. The Bible describes the Devil as such a personality. Referring to him as Satan, it says: “Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14) Though he is evil, the Devil presents himself as good in order to misguide others. And if he gets people to believe that he simply does not exist, that suits his purpose even better.
FOR centuries, many people thought of the Devil as a horned, cloven-hoofed creature clad in red and using a pitchfork to cast wicked humans into a fiery hell. The Bible does not support that idea. Undoubtedly, however, such misconceptions have caused millions to question the existence of the Devil or to think that the term applies only to a principle of evil.
The Bible provides eyewitness evidence and clear testimony that the Devil exists. Jesus Christ saw him in the heavenly spirit realm and spoke to him on the earth. (Job 1:6; Matthew 4:4-11) Although the Scriptures do not reveal this spirit creature’s original name, they call him the Devil (meaning “Slanderer”) because he has slandered God. He is also called Satan (meaning “Resister”), since he resists Jehovah. Satan the Devil is referred to as “the original serpent,” apparently because he used a serpent to deceive Eve. He is also known as “the wicked one.”

The biggest lie ever derived from Satan is when he lied to the Heavenly Angels about the very Character of God. Claiming that God is unfair. This lie Cause a rebellion in Heaven. Satan and his Angels fought against God and his Angels. God kicked the Devil out of Heaven along with those who chose to follow him.
Revelation 12:7-9.

satan doesn't exist
satan / hell was created by christians - so shall they go there, to burn in their own hell.
The biggest lie: ALL the religious beliefs ever spewed by the religious believers.
Go beyond the satan hoax, and religion and DO this:
Have UnConditional Love and Peace by accomplishing this:
Create Your Relationship with Our Creator.
UnConditional Love and Peace is the only answer.

Yeah well I don't know what would be the biggest....because he's also told the world that God doesn't exist.
But I know the biggest lie was from him as he is the father of lies....and has so many people believing them.

The biggest lie (of the devil) is that sin does not exist, and there are no consequences for it (Genesis 3:4)

I agree. And Satan convinced quite a few that God doesn't exist either.
Fortunately, we know the Good Guy wins!

What ridiculous drivel and hyperbole.
The biggest lie is buried somewhere in the fact that Christians tell us that god is love, but present us with a god that behaves hatefully. He is a god of love that encourages genocide, infanticide, misogyny, and eternal damnation for those who don't believe this lie..
