Is the devil really Ugly?

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?
 
Isn't it amazing how children can see through the outer shell and inter the inner spirit of adults?

Spiritually, the devil is ugliness personified. Physically, he is attractive in order to better gain followers. (Or it might be he takes on a form that will attract others; beauty, after all, is in the eyes of the beholders.)

Even if he has chosen an appealing outer form, his eyes (and those of his followers) typically betray his true essence. No matter how he tries to camouflage his real nature, his eyes reveal.
 
If we are speaking about those that take on the appearance of "angels of light" in order to deceive, I'd lean toward beauty far more than any trace of ugly.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2Cr 11:3 KJV)
...
For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 2Cr 11:13-15 KJV

Even today, we hear and know of those who come to us with a "word" from God Himself, and they preach convincingly... how much more so should those that the men resemble be seen as "godly". Take away our modern knowledge of the Pharisees and look at how much effort they put into their righteousness. These guys took a hard look at the rules and did them to the Nth degree... Jesus said they cleaned the outside of the cup and in that culture I'm sure they were the epitome of "godly" men.

I'm thinking that if we were on our own (and apart from God's light) they (devils or Satan himself) would be very, very appealing. Maybe even showing us how we too can be like them... (and everybody catches their breath, collectively, and sighs, "If only that could be true...")
 
The devil has no creative power, so any physical manifestation of satan is only granted through God's power. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The same holds true with ugly. How we perceive the devil, his works, or his temptations has more to do with whom we follow rather than any objective characteristics.
 
Have you seen the movie, "The Matrix"? I wonder how many millions in box-office dollars that made... (just a sec, Google is our friend :wave ...)

There we go: $171 million. How about Avatar? $760 million...

Now, both of those movies could be said to teach doctrines other than the simple Gospel of Christ. "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." (2Cr 11:3 KJV)

Both are spin-offs of the lie told to Adam and Eve in the beginning, "Ye shall not surely die: ...your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods."

That's about a billion dollars for the lie we still dream about...

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?:study

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.

---Elijah
 
Our minds eye wants to see what it wants like a devil with horns, red suit and a pitch fork, but Satan has no form that we can see with our own eyes as he is a created formless angel of God, but ugly in his fallen state.

The Bible says in Isaiah 53 that even Jesus had no physical beauty that we would desire him when he walked the earth, but the Spirit that is beautiful in him is what drew others to him.
 
And I keep wondering why some who testified they saw demons (had to) scream.


And when you conduct deliverances, and look into the eyes of the people being delivered, you'd notice there is something really fierce in their eyes (look). I have seen that.:o
 
When he was in heaven he was beautiful but upon his fall to earth he is not so beautiful I'll bet in his appearance.

I agree with that. When one looks around even since the late movies + when TV came about, perhaps some could get a pretty good read what satan in bottom/line looks like! + of course the real deal of...

Matt. 27
[24] When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
[25] Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
[26] Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
[27] Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
[28] And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
[29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
[30] And [[they spit upon him]], and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
[31] And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

So is the devil really ugly? :sad Every one, + ugly thing has his name attached to it as 'i' see it.

People will think i am nuts. However, I have encountered demons. During a sleep paralysis encounter last year. I had been saved for a few months. When I had a very odd dream. I awoke paralysed looked to the left of me and saw what can only be described as "greys". I wont go any further, needless to say they were dealt with.

But I believe that aliens are demons. That the appearance depicted by abductees is their true appearance...due to their age (they are not immortal) and the level of corruption due to sin. However they create a facade of beauty which entraps humans into worshipping them. There are many different aspects to the deception that Satan and his angels create, anything that leads people astray.
 
Moses saw God; God revealed a part of His body to Moses. Moses, being so secretive, refused to tell man;(

God forbade him? I wonder what he saw.:dunno:shrug

And you are right that the devil and his demons could chose to appear attractive in order to attract people. Truth is, those filled with the Spirit of the Living God always know who he (the devil and his demons) is. Isn't that wonderful?!!?:)
 
I have had a similar encounter before. I have a relative who worships the devil. She does the mermaid thing, I think - I don't remember exactly the name of her 'worship'.

I was with her in a room towards eleven at night. She was fast asleep. I was sleeping too. I suddenly woke up and looked at her. (God must have woken me - He did). I believe she was manifesting something or was about her mermaid stuff. I noticed her spirit filled the room.

I paniced at first, knowing full well there was something beyond a human presense in that room. I was just a kid. And not knowing how to fight this kind of battle I got up and left that room.


In the morning, I met my mom and told her my encounter. My mom told me (she confirmed it) that the woman serves the marine world thing. And that was the first time I met that woman.


Once you have the Spirit of God in you you will always know when a strange spirit is around. It pains my heart that most christians don't know the powers they have. You are a god.
 
Tis the first time I'm hearing of the "marine world" religion ..... :dunno


I have encountered evil spirits as I used to live in a "haunted" house. I cannot say how they looked like as they were always hooded. Maybe they were too shy to face me .... :dunno

But I heard them - sometimes loud and clear as they spoke right into my ears .... :shocked!

I can only say that they have deep and rough "heshe" kind of tones ..... the kind where you can never tell if that is a male or female as they're probably genderless ..... :onfire
