-

This is a post that is now a Thread.
Just a little bit of info on the Devil, as its good to have a few facts, as you can use these when you talk to unbelievers, as unbelievers believe in the Devil.
Its Christ that they need some some help with, regarding believing.
Thats on you.
So, learn these basic facts about the Fallen One, and you can use the info be more INFORMED, when you deal with a unbeliever's questions.
Sometimes, they just want to know that you know something about the bible, so that they can trust you...and me.
They have to Trust YOU< if they are going to Trust your Lord

When the Devil was in Heaven, he was the, or a, Music Minister.......for all intents and purposes.
Some literature recognizes him as the Anointed Cherub.

He was created with free will.
His name essentially means "Light Bearer", "Lucifer", and he got a name change when He and his deceived, who were angels He deceived were cast out of heaven.
Jesus said that He witnessed Satan "fall as/like lightning".
In Heaven, He, Lucifer, was BEAUTIFUL. In the Garden of Eden, He is now called SATAN, and he is designed or designated as : a serpent.

Notice that Satan is the "Light Bearer".......and in Ephesians, Paul defines Him as the 'Prince of the Power of the Air".
He is also the God of this world., Yet Christ has all authority in Heaven and on Earth, based on The Cross and The Resurrection.
The Lord Jesus is now again A KING, and not a suffering Lamb, sent to The Cross to redeem the world of its sin, and from the "curse of the Law".

How does "Light Bearer" and "prince of the power of the air" work together. ?

Well, Jesus is THE Light, and Satan is THE FALSE Light.
Jesus is THE Light, and Satan comes AS an angel of Light.
God's preachers in the "" time of the Gentiles"" preach. "Paul's Gospel".." THE GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS" .. "The Gospel of the Grace of GOD".."The Gift of Salvation"..
Satan's ministers preach FALSE Righteousness., as self righteousness and self saving, and commandment keeping...or anything YOU DO, to try to be saved or ... stay saved.
The "AIR", is the spiritual realm, and the power of the air, is, to be the god of this world.
Satan is a master manipulator of facts, and in these end times, he is the prince of the power of the AIRWAVES.
= THE MEDIA.

Let me repost this from another thread...

Did God create Satan or was he an accident? Paul told us no less than 6 times.... All things are from God!!
See Rom. 11:36; 1 Cor. 8:6, and 11:12; 2 Cor. 5:18; Eph. 1:11, and Heb. 2:10.

Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made.

Gen 3:14 The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

1Co 15:47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust

1Pe 5:8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Joh 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

1Jo 3:8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

Job 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient744 serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world--he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

2Co 11:3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent3789 deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

Mar 4:15 And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.
2Co 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Isa 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith [Satan] that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
1Ti 1:20 among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

1Co 5:5 you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

Eph 6:11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Only children think Satan created evil and brought... evil into this world... All without God being the master of his plan from the beginning...
