There is only one Satan but there are many who follow Satan. Yes I do believe that he exists, and his purpose is turn all of Gods children to the "Dark Side" His goal is to destroy the plan of God and he is as real as you and I are, with the exception that he does not have a body as we do.

Answer:

Yes, there is one Satan... and one-third of God's angels follow him. Jesus believes in him, too.

He's seen him, talked with him... saw him fall as lightning from heaven - Luke 10:18... and according to God's Word: CREATED him.

"All things were made by Him (Jesus); and without Him was not any thing made that was made." (John 1:3)

"All things" must include the universe... and Satan (Lucifer), too.

It's also true, however, that Satan believes in Jesus, too: "...thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." (James 2:19)

Everyone believes in something. What matters is what we do with it.

We should all live by gods word and help others to see the light too.

Answer

Yes and No. According to the Old Testament, there are many Satans (meaning Adversary) whose job it is to carry out God's wrath and to test mankind (as in the story of Job). But its a job-title, not a proper name. Jews do not believe in "the devil" or some "Satan" sitting in Hell plotting how to screw up God's divine plan. That concept of Satan didn't exist until 700 years ago. Early Christians didn't even believe it (and there is no evidence for it in the New Testament either, since Jesus was, you know, Jewish.)

Jesus was tempted by A Satan (not "The" Satan) because that's the job of the satans. They test man and make sure that they are pure enough to enter God's presence.
