How would you describe the devil?
930983
2 Cor. 11:14-15 \n    No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of rightheousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. \n\nOne of te names of Satan is The Deceiver, in Revelation he is the Great Dragon, that Old Snake.  He is also called The accuser of the Brethren.\n\nMake no mistake you are still accountable to God, even if you have believed the Great Lie.\n\nJohn 8:44 \n    "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

the devil is a fallen angel. so think of the angel has halos and the devil has horns. the angel has wings of birds but the devil has wings of a bat. it also depends on the perspective of the person of the devil has to look like.

I will try to explain to you…\n\nFirst of all… the devil is a spirit creature… and is not thrice in structure as a human being is.  A human being is soul, body, and spirit.  Therefore saying “the devil in the flesh” is not a good way to describe such.\n\nFallen celestials are no longer ‘perfect beings’ because fallen angels gained a ‘fallen nature’ after falling from grace.  Being a spirit… a fallen angel’s form is nothing like that of a human being or an animal’s form, etc.\n\nSpirits are physically around… but their nature as spirits is extremely different from anything that the human being normally sees around.  People just try to get around this difficultly by saying that they are ‘spiritual’.  So, basically to the human being in the common mindset… celestial beings are very alien to us.  They are so unearthly and have such unfamiliar forms, that… to see one physically… as one would see another human… it can strike fear into an individual.  Nevertheless… no one should fear a mere creature.\n\nIt is hard to describe unearthly things in language that can be well understood.  Basically… seeing a fallen angel ‘can’ be just like seeing George W Bush.  You can see Bush, hear him, or even touch him… because he is actually real.  Actually seeing a fallen angel is not something in the mind.  Just as Bush is real… so are fallen angels.\n\nFallen angels can be:  seen, heard (as you would hear another human being), smelt, touched, and sensed.\n\nThe below information is copied from a website:  (it is a description of Satan in one of his two forms… being a spirit he shifts).\n_____________________________________________\nILLUSTRATION OR ANALYSIS OF FORM\nDESIGNED TO CLARIFY MISUNDERSTANDINGS\n\nDifferences from the human form\n\nHeylel’s form includes different textures that are of fallen angelic nature, wings \nthat withdraw or retract into his back, a tail with spade tip, another joint (extra part \nto the leg) from the shin, then ankles and cloven hooves.  Although, commonly \ndepicted as having claws or horns, he has neither in his humanoid form.  Heylel \nalso has a nictitating membrane (that can move across the eye) as a lizard or a cat.\n\nHeight and Weight\n\nIn Heylel’s humanoid form, his height is 5’6”.  The angelic being’s standard \nweight changes because they are spirit beings.\n\nSkin, leather and fur colorization, etc\n\nHeylel’s skin colorization is a shiny, light white.  The creature’s fur fades from \nblond – to a dark (copper/reddish) brown – being variegated in a usually unkempt \nmatter.  Heylel’s fur tends to shed as flying dust, no doubt showing that he is \ncursed.  Hair or fur in this type of condition indicates an unhealthy state.  He has \nfur from his waist down, in length, much like a long-haired cat.  Heylel’s wings \nand his tail have a leather-like skin, not scales, the leather shades from red to a \ndarker red.  The bones of his wings are covered in a black leather skin.  The \ncreature’s cloven hooves are much like the natural colorization of a cow’s hoof.\n\nFacial features\n\nHeylel has blond spiky hair.  He has a beard (the imperial beard), and very light \nblue eyes – that seem to reflect.  The creature has a wound (or scar) on the top-\nright side of his head.  At times, the wound has a yellowish substance that exudes \nand becomes incrusted on his head.  When yellowish the creature smells rotten.  \nHe also has a scar above the right eye.\n\nWings\n\nHeylel’s wings look strange.  They appear to be, as if they were bat wings.  \nHowever, the creature most likely had feathered wings in the beginning.   They are \nmade of a hallowed bone structure with a thin layer of tightly stretched leather-like \nskin other the bones.  You could see shades of light though the stretched skin.\n\nOther features\n\nHeylel has a tumor on the outer side of his right shin.\n_____________________________________________\n(Article ends he

Demons are just created by the human imagination. They are a combination of a person's fears, what they've seen on TV and things they've heard.

All enemies within a human being: Greed, false pride, deceit, anger, and these then are further divided into subtle servants of these four to guard and keep them alive perpetually.\n\nFor instance to feed the devil of the greed within, one employs deceit.\n\nTo feed the devil of the false prsde and ego oriented behavior, one becomes angry or praises others falsely---you scratch my back and I will scratch yours.\n\nThe essence of human birth is to get rid and ultimately annihilate these devils within\n\nOnce they are dead, one becomes free and in bliss

Yes, I believe the Devil is real. But I don't worship him. I worship God. It says in the Bible that Lucifer (the devil) was an angel in heaven. Then he tried to defeat God but it didn't work. So, God sent him to hell. We have temptations because of the devil. He's the one that makes us sin.

In religion, folklore, and mythology a demon is a supernatural being that has generally been described as a malevolent spirit, or daemon and djinn. A demon is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled.\n\nI don't think a vampire falls within the definition of demon, nor does it even come close to the ancient origins of the meaning of demon.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon  Read here for how the word Demon has radically changed its meaning from ancient times to now.\n\nVampires are mythical or folkloric creatures, typically held to be the re-animated corpses of human beings and said to subsist on human and/or animal blood (hematophagy), often having unnatural powers, heightened bodily functions, and/or the ability to physically transform. Some cultures have myths of non-human vampires, such as demons or animals like bats, dogs, and spiders. Vampires are often described as having a variety of additional powers and character traits, extremely variable in different traditions, and are a frequent subject of folklore, cinema, and contemporary fiction.\n\nNow the definition of Vampire eludes that some cultures have demonized the "Vampire" in myth.\n\nRead up on both, but the way I'm seeing this is...no.  Vampires are not true "Demons".

My favorite (and the longest one I know) comes from the Middle Ages, and is in Latin.  Saint Martin was travelling through France to Rome.  While on the road, he encountered the Devil, who began to tease him relentlessly.  After a few miles of this treatment, Saint Martin was so incensed that he beat Satan with his walking stick -- upon which Satan turned into a donkey.\n\nThis is why it's accurate to describe the devil as a French A**.  Just kidding.\n\nIn any case, upon his transformation, the Devil cried:\n\nSigna te signa; temere me tangis et angis;\nRoma tibi subito motibus ibit Amor.\n\nThis is a palindrome, and means "Make the sign of the cross and do it again; you vex and bother me without reason.  Soon you will reach Rome, the object of your wishes."  Seeing a ripe opportunity, Saint Martin jumped on the donkey's back and rode him to the Eternal City (and the donkey became Pope!  Just kidding).\n\nTo this you might reply: "Devil never even lived."  As for the author, he was distracted.  "God, a red nugget!  A fat egg under a dog!"  -- this is what I heard he said last.

I think you just described hell.

its evil, maybe? Thats what I think.\n\nWhy else does much of the world call it the "Great Satan"?\n\nI don't quite agree with that, however, because the Devil is the Devil.

The devil is a fallen angel, previously named Lucifer, who God kicked out of heaven because he set himself up in God's place. God changed his name to Satan or "deceiver."\nElves are fictional characters, possibly based on actual sightings of demons. Traditionally they make shoes. J. R. R. Tolkien redefined the elf (in my opinion) with his classic Lord of the Rings series, making them a tall, noble, light-footed, pointy-eared race that love beauty and happiness.

There is no devil.  The universal power of belief has made the image of evil, and maintains it.  You have but to resist, and it flees from you...how powerful is a thing, or a force, if all you need do is speak to it, and it vanishes?  \n\nEvil is the exact opposite to God...and God has no opposite.\n\nGod is All That Is.\n\nIf you want a true answer, stop believing in the insanity of devils and evil, and anything that pretends to stand between you and your Father.

Satan isn't really one single being in the bible. Like black_hole_gravity said, it means "adversary" and it's more of a title than a name. Although Lucifer still is a villain in christian mythology. He did rebel against god in the story.

I think being the son of the devil automatically makes you the baddest mother F*. Think of Apocalypse as Hitler, some old dude that wants to rule the world. Then there is Blackheart, who IS the devils offspring.
