The devil was angel once. Before he was cast out of heaven for wanting to be higher than God. Now he is very upset with God and wants to turn people against God. So he can use us for evil. So the devil is a controller but he only controls the people who let him control them. You have to learn how to saqy no to the devil.

∙ 15y agoLuke tells us "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven".
That Satan was at one time in heaven with God before this world was can be accepted as a fact. He held a high calling and one of his names was Son of the morning. He stood next to Christ. That something happened in heaven for Satan to be cast out seems to be an obvious thought. Is it not at all possible that he wished to take upon himself more glory than he was entitled to. Perhaps even to replace God or to have as much authority as God.
It is evident from what Luke says that Satan was cast out of heaven, he and all of those who followed him. The scriptures do mention Satan and his angels.
Satan has a great desire that all mankind follow him and not God which seems to agree with the above suggestion.

∙ 13y agoThe devil also known as Lucifer fell into sin when he gave into pride. Lucifer was Gods top angel. Lucifer was said to be made perfect in every way by God. Lucifer had a prideful heart. He wanted to take the spot God had. The power and beauty Lucifer had went to his head. He rebelled against God and was cast out of Heaven.

Wrong. The devil is not dead, according to my religion, he still roams the Earth and tries his best to keep you away from worshiping GOD.
Answer:
The devil can technilly never die. Since he rules the underworld, he can pretty much not die . Even God can't kill him. I guess that's what happens when the one man who can't die is the ruler of the dead.

Can God and devil be present at the same in a believer?
God and the devil can be present at the same time in a believer. Once you place your trust in God and as Jesus to come into your life he sends his Holy Spirit who lives within you and acts almost like a conscience would. His job is to direct us and convict us of sin. However, God does not control us and never forces us to do his will but gives us free will. This means that we can choose right from wrong. When we do wrong we are sinning and God has no part in sin. Therfore we are choosing "flesh" over "spirit" and the flesh is a device of Satan. So while the devil does not "live" in us as Christ does he can operate within us the same time the Holy spirit does. They cannot be active at the same time though. The Holy Spirit give us the choice of who whether we choose right from wrong or God from Satan.
