Further thoughts:

According to scripture, "Satan the Devil' was the first to rebel against the creator (Genesis 3:1-7)(Matthew 13:25+39/John 8:44/1 John 3:8/Ezekiel 28:13-15).

The Greek word for 'Devil' is 'diaballo', which means 'slanderer/accuser/meligner',

is used over 30 times in scriptures at places such as 1 Chronicles 21:1 and Matthew 4:1-11.

The term 'Satan' means 'opposer/adversary' from the root word satan' meaning 'resist'.(Job 1:6/Job 2:1/Revelation 12:9+10)

In The Bible, the spirit person known as 'Satan THE DEVIL' (or the chief slanderer/adversary of God) is referred to by one of these titles over 130 times in verse or footnote, such as at: 1 Chronicles 21:1/Job 1:6-12. And Jesus refers to him several times at places like Luke 22:31, Luke 10:18, Matthew 25:41.

The devil is also often spoken of in other terms, such as 'the wicked one' or the 'serpent' or the 'dragon'(Revelation 12:9), and because the 'world' is lying in his power today, Christians are asked to avoid it's 'friendship'(1 John 5:19/James 4:4).

**However, OTHER people are ALSO referred to as a 'devil' or a 'satan' from time to time, when they copy his behavior, opposing God's purpose such as at John 6:70 speaking of Judas, and Matthew 16:21-23 speaking of Peter.
