Satan information misleading.. (Jesus Christ, priests, ritual, gospel, soul)

[SoulTYPE]

The interesting point that is said is that Satan "Tries to bring Christians back into the world", is this because the Christians have the biggest viewpoint of Satan?

[Mister Emu]

something i always wondered about the christian satan is if he's evil and he tries to tempt people to sin, wouldn't he reward the sinners when they got to hell? they're doing his bidding, so why shouldn't he?

Lucifer is going to be tossed into the lake of fire as well, he will be in no position to give rewards to sinners.

I thought he was already there, Emu.

No it`s because Christians aren`t supposed to be concerned with material or "worldly things".
they are suppose to concentrate on the Heavenly or "divine".

Satan breaks their concentration and leads them down a wordly path.

True.

Don`t you find that very interesting?
The fact that Christians base their religious views on something that has nothing to do with their religion?

It`s weird.

No not yet.

Rev. 20:11

And the devil that decieved them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone...

This is a prophecy that has yet to come to pass.

You are right about the concerned about material things part, linwood.

Linwood,
I think The satan makes his appearance in Job.

Yes Job is where he makes his entrance.

There is some verse somewhere in the pauline writings I think (Can`t remember off the top of my head) that says he was in the Garden and responsible for original sin but no where in the OT does it mention him in Eden.
I find that odd too.

Satan (meaning "resister") and Devil (meaning "slanderer").

This original opposer, or Satan (meaning "Resister"), was the one who used a serpent as a mouthpiece when speaking to Eve to induce her to disobey God. (Genesis 3:1-6) That is why he is also called "the original serpent." (Revelation 12:9) Jesus himself said of Satan: "That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him." (John 8:44; 1 John 3:8) Jesus thus identified Satan as one who once enjoyed God’s favor but who rebelled against Jehovah God.
