(chuckle). No, don´t worry. There is no Satan. Well no more than there is a Homer Simpson or a Sherlock Holmes that is. You see if yo studied the history of the Church you would be shocked to find out a few truths. Along with the pope, the Church invented Satan in order to scare obedience into the people. Guess what! It worked! For a while anyway, Fortunately today Satan is mostly rejected as nonesense and most people live their life without any fear of Hell or Satan. But Hey! I wouldnt listen to me if I were you! I might just be Satan trying to trick you into thinking that I don´t Exist! (Ghostly howl!!)

Do I think there is a satan? Yes.
Do I think he is a "spirit of a human creature"- NO.
I believe what the Bible says. He was an angel of God, who was cast out of Heaven because he wanted to be exalted above God. He was an ANGEL, Lucifer. Now he is satan. He is the ruler of this earth right now. He has demons that do his bidding. They are on the earth. They are evil spiritual beings. They enter people (possession) and do satan's work.

Why did Satan fall from Heaven? Satan fell because of pride. He desired to be God, not to be a servant of God. Notice the many "I will..." statements in Isaiah 14:12-15. Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes Satan as an exceedingly beautiful angel. Satan was likely the highest of all angels, the most beautiful of all of God's creations. Satan was not content in his position. Instead, Satan desired to be God, to essentially "kick God off His throne" and take over the rule of the universe. Satan wanted to be God, and interestingly enough, that is what Satan tempted Adam and Eve with in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1-5). How did Satan fall from Heaven? Actually, a fall is not an accurate description. It would be far more accurate to say that God cast Satan out of Heaven (Isaiah 14:15; Ezekiel 28:16-17).

God once destroyed mankind from off the face of the earth with the exception of eight.
The reason he did so is because men became so evil, their every thought was evil.
As for the devil, he most certainly exists. It was he who brought the fall of mankind by tempting Adam and Eve. When Adam and Eve chose to believe his lie over the truth of God's Word, they sold their souls and the souls of all mankind to the devil, the angel of death.
The devil has been always working to steal the souls of men. He managed to cause God to destroy most life off the earth once.
And today, we can see his handy work again. There again are men and women who walk this earth and they have no good in them. Their thoughts are based up only that which is evil.
Yet, how can men have gotten to the point where there is no good in them without the help of the tempter, the devil.
If you read in Revelations, it says the devil will be cast into chains for 1000 years. Temptation will not exist, for the tempter will be imprisoned. Yet, he is released once more to tempt the world again, to root out what is left of those who are evil.

I believe Satan is real but he is a fallen angel. Not a human like creature, and also he "lives in hell" but also can prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls with other fallen angels.

Yes I think there is a satan.
No I do not think he is a spirit of a human, but rather the head of the fallen angels who took them with him.
But why all this focus on satan when we can focus on the One true Lord who made us and the resurrection of Jesus who died for our sins and His coming back.

It is very crucial that Christians realize the reality of Satan in this world and that he prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). It is impossible to overcome sin and temptation from the devil by ourselves, but Scripture tells us how be strong. We need to put on the full armor of God daily to be able to stand our ground against temptation (Ephesians 6:13).

People act so evil and are so confused about morals their must be someone messing with them. For example, atheists, they have very messed up logic and I've found no matter how much they insist that they are decent or honest that they make horrible lies (I recently experienced that again when talking to a certain user here who uses a green alien as an avatar while talking to him in private). I don't see how anyone can be like that without some evil being like Satan influencing them to he so warped.
I don't think Satan is in Hell right now. He is called "The god of this world" in the Bible. If he is in Hell then he is doing damage by proxy, through other demons (fallen angels) who are free.

I know for a pure fact that the scabite exists, However I do not believe he is in hell yet. But the only power the scumbag possesses is thought projection. Other than that if you do not operate in fear he has absolutely no power at all what so ever. But if you do operate in fear the scabite can take your God - given power and authority and use it against you.
Take care and may God bless you spiritually.

Yes, of course there is a Satan. If you don't believe in
Satan then you don't believe in God because God created Satan. About the whole human thing...i don't know...only God does.
