What can we say about Biblical
depictions of Satan/Devil?
In the Bible, Satan is not presented
as a devil. He is an apprentice to the Lord and his evil is only
effective when granted by God himself. Once Lucifer is banished from
Heaven, he is made to live on Earth and taunt the people.
Where is the Devil today?
In my opinion the devil live inside of
each and every one of us. We are all, in some way, devilish beings
in the eye of another. Some may claim the Devil is in hell, but he
is actually walking amongst us, preparing us for our next fall.
Do you believe in Satan? If yes, how
would you describe Satan? If no, why do you think people do believe
in Satan?
I could not say whether I believe in
Satan or not. If he is real, I am more than sure he wouldn't look
any different from us all. Also, his character displayed in the
works we have went over is nothing different from a high school
enemy. People believe in Satan because they need something in the
position to humble themselves. If there was no Satan, there wouldn't
be a God who expelled him from the Heavens, the Heavens would not be
real and humans would not be walking the Earth today.
What is the relationship between Satan
and evil?
Most may say, Satan is the creator of
evil. I believe Satan has no ties to the word. Yes authors create
him as an evil, monstrous being, but evil is the people going around
killing each other on a daily basis. I can not remember a time where
Satan killed anyone, he forces their hand and he collects souls in
the end.
