I'm not trying to be funny here.
Is the devil ugly? Everyone thinks he is. One thing is sure: The devil's full of evil acts. This is absolute ugliness. But, is he really ugly as a (in) person or supernatural being, merely judging from his look?
Some have testified they saw demons or evil spirits and were terrified. People say they are fantastically ugly and horrific.
If you ask a kid to sketch the picture of the devil he will draw something ugly.
I know Lucifer was a very beautiful angel when he was in heaven.
And if the devil is ugly....why is he ugly?
We cannot
yet see spirits which in our bible call these angels ministering spirits. And your question is a good one.
Adam nor angels are immortal. we read that only God is Immortal. The Godhead gave the
tree of Life for man to have conditional life. Which we no longer have. And They gave Angels Food for angels to have immortal life. Called
manna.
Perhaps with man being created a little lower than the angels means that of a lifespan of 1000 yrs. against 7000 therebouts with both being taken away after sin?? But yes to your question of both getting more wicked & ugly daily except for the
strivings of the Holy Spirit still upon some humans yet. (and for the Lord giving last day knowledge!) Angels that were cast out had already grieved the Holy Spirit away & that is the reason that they were a done deal, and surely even without God having a LOVING HEll putting them out of their misery, they would in time destroy themself.
(and by the way, this is how 'i' see it! ;))
Several verses come to
my mind for what kind of shape they are now in. Here are a couple. You read them for yourself & see if they mean to you which they do to me?
Matt. 12
[
22] Then was brought unto him
one possessed with a devil,
blind, and dumb: and
he healed him, insomuch that
the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
Mark 9
[
17] And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son,
which [hath a dumb spirit];
[
18] And wheresoever
he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
[
19] He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
[
20] And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway
the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
[
21] And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
[
22] And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
[
23] Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
[
24] And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears,
Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
[
25] When Jesus saw that the people came running together,
he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, [Thou dumb and deaf spirit], I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
[
26] And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
[
27] But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
[
28] And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
[
29] And he said unto them,
This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
One more?
Luke 11
[
14] And
he was casting out a devil, and
[it was dumb]. And it came to pass,
when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
