Bible Question:
who is the satan?.From where did he come? |
Bible Answer: Hello softcom, Welcome to the forum! Satan is someone much more than an angel who was cast out of Heaven for wanting to be like God. Actually, he was cast out after declaring that he WOULD BE like God (Isaiah 13:13-14) He is the one who deceives (Genesis 3: 1-7, 2Corinthians 11:14,) He has blinded the mind of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4: 3-4). He is the tempter (Matthew 4:3) He is the one who accuses believers (Rev. 12:10), he is the adversary of believers (1 Peter 5:8). We could go on and on as the bible speaks a great deal about Satan, the Devil, the Father of Lies. But the most important thing we should know about him, is that he has been defeated by our Lord Jesus Christ (Genesis 3:15, John 19:30, Revelation 20:10) Hope this helps, Jeff |
