Should you believe in the devil?

Answer 1

First of all, if God exists, it is possible that Satan exists, but if God does not exist, Satan is most unlikely to exist. So, the first question is whether you believe that God exists, remembering that there is no actual evidence that he does.
Satan entered post-Exilic Judaism as the 'adversary' but under the instructions of God, tasked to test the righteousness of the faithful. In the Persian religion, Zoroastrianism, Angra Mainyu is the wholly malign adversary of the Persian god, Ahura Mazda. When this concept was adopted in Judaism after the Babylonian Exile, the Jews struggled with the notion of God having an opponent who could defy him. Deciding that this was not possible, the Jews adapted Satan to do God's bidding by challenging the faithful, as we see in the Book of Job.

In Christianity, Satan evolved to become the evil opponent of God, seeking to cause the faithful to deviate from righteousness and to destroy God's kingdom. Satan continued to evolve throughout much of the Middle Ages, at time as a figure of fun and sometimes with changes in how he exerts his wicked powers. He is now an essential part of Christian belief, but if you did not read about Satan in books you believe to be true you would have no reason to think that he exists. In fact, why should we believe a being exists if we can not even decide whether he helps God or opposes him?

He is real he does exists but you don't want to follow him because the bible also tells is that he is the father of lies.
