What is satan/devil/serpent/satan.
THE PARALLEL ACCOUNT.
It means ''adversary''
In context it refers to systems or men.
Hell and satan go together in modern teachings....
1 Chronicles 21:1:And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
2 Samuel 24:1:And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
satan in that passage means ''adversary'' - they are parallel accounts,in context God was the adversary against Israel
If you have a good Strong's Exhaustive Concordance in the Hebrew,Adversary is defined as...
7854 satan saw-tawn' from 7853; an opponent; especially (with the article prefixed) Satan, the arch-enemy of good:--adversary, Satan, withstand.
That passage is an example on how it is not a fallen angel - unless the mainstream teachings are right that on one account a fallen angel provoked David to number Israel and on another God moved David to number Israel???
- TAKEN FROM THREAD QUESTIONS ABOUT HELL
SATAN IN JOB.
Job 1:6:Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Sons of God are God's followers...
1 John 3:2:Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
satan means adversay. - A person who was against Job.
Job 1:11:But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job 1:22:In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Job 2:5:But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job 19:21:Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
What did satan do? for a fallen angel the only thing he did do was...
Job 2:7:So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Which a man can do!
Otherwise God did it!
LUCIFER.
Isaiah 14:12:How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Lucifer is defined in Strong's as...
1966 heylel hay-lale' from 1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning-star:--lucifer.
''the morning-star''
Jesus is the morningstar!
Revelations 22:!6:I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
God is talking to the King of Babylon in sarcasm - Taunt.
Isaiah 14:4:You shall take up this [taunting] parable against the king of Babylon and say, How the oppressor has stilled [the restless insolence]! The golden and exacting city has ceased! - Amplified Bible.
SATAN IN EZEKIEL 28
Ezekiel 28:2:Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
This is like the King of Babylon except now it is the Prince of Tyrus.
Ezekiel 27:23:Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.
The Prince of Tyrus was in Eden - not the garden of Eden.
Ezekiel 27:2:Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
THE DEVIL IN MATTHEW 4
This was Jesus.
Hebrews 2:18:For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Matthew 4:3:And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Matthew 4:6:And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Matthew 4:8:Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Some of this was symbolic - How could Jesus see all the Kingdoms of the world from a mountain?
This was Flesh - Life and eyes.
1 John 2:16:For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
WHO CREATES EVIL?
Isaiah 45:7:I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
ONE GOD -GOD
Isaiah 44:6:Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Isaiah 45:5:I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
THE SCAPEGOAT
[FONT="]Leviticus 16:21-22:[/FONT]21And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: 22And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
WHAT OR WHERE DOES SIN COME FROM?
[FONT="]James 1:14-15:[/FONT]14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
[FONT="]Romans 7:23:[/FONT]But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
[FONT="]Mark 7:18-23:[/FONT]18And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
SATAN OR NOT?
1 Timothy 1:20:Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Why would satan teach someone not to ''blaspheme''?
1 Timothy 3:6:Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
Why would the devil condemn someone lifted up on pride?
THE WAR IN HEAVEN
Revelations 12:9:And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
The dragon is the same as in the earlier chapter...
Revelations 12:3:And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
This is symbolic.
Revelations 12:1:And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
''And there appeared a great wonder in heaven'' - this is a vision,symbolic.
Revelations 13:1:And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
This is the same beast as in Revelations 12. ''having seven heads and ten horns''
Revelations 17:3:So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
The name of the woman is given.
Revelations 17:5-6:5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Babylon kills Christians on earth - it is not a fallen angel.
SATAN IN EDEN
Genesis 3::1:Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
The serpent was ''was more subtil than any beast of the field''
All it did was preach another gospel to Eve.
Genesis 3:4:And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
While God said ''thou shalt surely die''
2 Corinthians 11:3: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.
SATAN AS MEN.
John 8:44:Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Matthew 23:33:Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew 23:15:Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Matthew 12:34:O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Matthew 3:7:But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
