Satan created mankind. All of the ancient texts point to this. Christianity and judaism have tortured Satan's name for their own benefit. I feel that everything I have in life I owe to Him, and He rewards me every day. Other religions teach people to be stupid. "Dont eat from the tree of knowledge!"  Well I say "why not???"  You should want to know what the Gods know. You should want to ascend to a level of Godhood. Anything less is selling your existance and purpose short. We use 5% of our brains. It is the judeo-christian beliefs that have caused this to mankind. And for what? A book created by Constantine? Satan is not evil. All He ever wants and asks is that mankind use his brains and ability to the maximum extent. All other religions preach to DENY knowledge. Satan saved mankind when other "Gods" wished to destroy mankind. Yes, I love Satan.

:}\nThe same reasons Christians don't follow the bible.\n\nWe more often follow tradition, \nwhat our church teaches\nwhat our peer group does\nthe civil laws of our government\nwhat our parents say\ncultural mores\n\nand finally the bible  (If we have read it and are not depending on what our preachers say it says and means)

The devil doesn't need to read the Bible.  The devil knows God firsthand, and has rejected him.  Now he's busy leading others to reject God as well.\n\nBesides, the devil hates the Bible -- if you skip to the end, you'll find out that at the end of the final battle, he LOSES !

The  Bible  speaks of Satan as" The God of This Sytem of Things", meaning he is the ruler of this wicked world , but only for a short time yet.The Scripture is 2Corinthians 4:4 and it says: "among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the mind of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news, about the Christ, who is the image og God, might not shine through."\nSatan can not read your thoughts , but the way you live and act will tell Satan what is on your mind.Understand!!! \nThere is a saying that goes like this:"Tell me who your friends are and I will know who you are."\nOnly God can read our minds and our heart and only \nHe can know our true identity. That is why no one can ever seperate us from God , we can always reach him through prayer , even silently.

Not only is it in the Bible, But if you know how to correspond certain letter to numbers. 666 will spell out Satan.,as well as evil............ The sad thing about this world is that people just don't believe that pure evil exist in this world.... And believe's that people have the choice's to preform either. And in many, many cases that belief is very far from the truth. Satan is a very real enity and so is his fallen angel's. And one day in the near future this world population will wake up to that fact, But then for billions of people it will be to late for them to do anything about it..................

Catholics are encouraged to read the Bible.\n\nThe Catechism of the Catholic Church says: The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ,' by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. ‘Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.'\n\nThere are four separate Scripture readings during every Sunday Mass.\n\nWith love in Christ.

It is not written in the bible.\n\nSatan was an angel, Lucifer, who wanted to become better than God.\n\nHe was kicked out of heaven with all of his followers, aka the demons, and he is now known as Satan.\n\nHe wasnt one of Jesus' brothers.

i think satan prefers we dont believe in him. the bible warns us about satan. that he comes to kill, steal, and destroy. that  he is the accuser of the brethern and the father of lies. the bible tells us to beware of his wickedness and schemes and to put on the full armor of God so we can stand in the day of battle. if we do not acknowledge satan then we can not beware of these things or know how to fight against his schemes. satan wants people to have their heads in the sand so to speak. satan is sneaky and a cheater that will do whatever it takes to kill, steal and destroy. but he was help up in public ridicule at the cross of calvary. satan knows his days are numbered. thank you jesus!

I totally agree. People should read the Bible if they are going to question it, praise it, or reject it. Then they are basing their decisions on what they KNOW rather than what they think they percieve.

You raise several interesting points in your question. I am not entirely sure what specific answer you are looking for, but I will give it a shot.\n\nYou say that satan used Scripture to tempt Jesus. He did, indeed. Jesus also used Scripture to defend himself against these temptations. Ultimately, we see that Jesus overcame all temptation by using the Scripture as his sword. \n\nIt is at this point that I would like to point out that satan, and devil, are not proper names, and could be applied to any number of enemies. These adjectives are used to describe an accuser, adversary, and Jesus also called Peter satan. There are dozens of reference in the Bible, but it seems that translators used these words in place of several persons and personalities. One interesting name replaced by "satan" is Satyr, mentioned in Greek mythology as a creature composed of a man and a goat, supposed to inhabit wild and desolate regions.\n\nBack to your question.\n\nPaul never mentions hell in any of his writings. He does wish condemnation for those who fool Christians into believing lies. This condemnation he wishes for judaisers (those who want Christians to follow Jewish law), false prophets, and lying spirits. Condemnation is judgment, but it is not to be confused with a lake of fire.\n\nThe Church has existed since the time Jesus chose twelve disciples. But, it does not predate the writings of the Jewish Bible, what Christians call the Old Testament. It did, however exist without a printed version of the Christian "Bible" until the 1500's.\n\nSince the the Scriptures were first put onto paper, there have been countless translations. This was necessary to introduce the Bible to people and cultures all over the world. The original writings of the prophets and disciples have been gone for centuries. All we have left of the Scripture are translations. \n\nUnfortunately, Rome held "copyright" on Scripture, and would not allow the sacred writings to be seen by common people. For that reason, we have, as Christians, a Bible made up of books that we believe to be legitimate writings. But, there are dozens of writings that could also be just as legitimate as the ones we allow in our Bible.\n\nThe important thing to remember is that the Scriptures tell a story. This is the story of mankind, his history, his lineage. It is also a story about God, and his dealings with mankind. But, most importantly, it tells us we are loved by our Creator, and it offers us salvation.\n\nYes, many have tried to add books to the Bible. Many have tried to tell a different story. In my opinion, no book written after the apostles died can adequately describe the teachings of Jesus. But, they can all give us a version of the story that they have heard.\n\nWhat we do to become part of the God's eternal, yet evolving, story is more important than fighting over who wrote what.

Considering 'satan' is the xtians view of one of the pagan gods, sure, why not? It's a phony religion like all the others, just an excuse to be 'evil' and a need to worship something better than themselves due to the servile nature of humans.\n\nso there! :)

It is obvious to me that the evil in the world does not come from following the teachings in the Bible, but come from ignoring those teachings.  If people loved one another, treated one another as they would like to be be treated, were kind and helpful and did not take advantage of one another, the world would be a wonderful place.  That is the Bible teaching.  Where the people live the commandments of God there is peace and harmony.  This is the God I believe in, love, and will follow.  Satan is the one who spreads dissent, hate, discord, war, and suffering.  Satan wants you to not believe in the Bible.  There is no doubt in my mind who the good guy is, and who is the evil one.

Well most people in that age couldn't read or write. So it served as a visual way to teach people about Catholicism and the Bible. They portrayed the Devil as being the most scariest being ever and it scared people into being Catholic. Plus, the sermon would be in Latin and they didn't speak in Latin.

There are lots of books that weren't included in the bible.\n\nRoman Emperor Constantine had an agenda when he invented his pagan religion and he adopted books that supported his universal pagan religion.\n\nThe "bible" is the invention of a pagan Roman Emperor and has little or nothing to do with Hebrews other than adopting their myths as the foundation for the Jesus myth.
