Jesus Christ 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; 1John 3:8) Jesus here shows that Satan was once in the truth, but forsook it. Beginning with his first overt act in turning Adam and Eve away from God, he was a manslayer, for he thereby brought about the death of Adam and Eve, which, in turn, brought sin and death to their offspring. (Romans 5:12) By his challenge of God and his charging God’s servants with lack of integrity, Satan lived up to his title “Devil,” meaning “Slanderer,” which title he deserved for having slandered Jehovah God in the garden of Eden.
Satan wanted to be a ruler as well. A position that did not belong to him. After his baptism, Satan approached Jesus in the wilderness with three different strong temptations, thoroughly testing him on the issue of devotion to Jehovah. In one of his appeals Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world, claiming them to be his own.
Satan became the ruler of this world when he was cast out of heaven. As mentioned at Revelation 12:9.
With each passing year, the world is becoming more and more dangerous. It is overrun with warring armies, dishonest politicians, hypocritical religious leaders, and hardened criminals. The world as a whole is beyond reform. The Bible reveals that the time is near when Jehovah God will eliminate the wicked world during his war of Armageddon. This will make way for a righteous new world.—Revelation 16:14-16.
(New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
The scriptures make no mention of such a thing happening. Considering that Satan seeks to gain the worship of all people (Isaiah 14:14), it's highly doubtful he would ever bow to anyone. If he asked Jesus to do an act of worship to him (Matthew 4:9), it shows you just what kind of mindset the Devil has. (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
Satan disguises himself through deceit and manipulation. He often presents himself as something appealing or tempting, like an angel of light or a voice of reason, in order to deceive and lead people astray from God's truth. He exploits human weaknesses and desires, subtly distorting the truth to gain influence and control over individuals.
Satan didn't tempt Jesus to be a kind of messiah. Satan tempted Jesus to turn away from being the messiah. Satan tempted Jesus to turn away from God the father and to worship him, Satan
The tree of knowledge of good and evil was very sacred. The LORD God told them whoever ate the fruit would be banned from the garden of Eden, receive knowledge of good and evil and would die. Satan told Eve that she would receive knowledge but would not die. Eve chose to eat the fruit along with Adam. They both got removed out of the Garden of Eden after eating the fruit.Adam lived a long life and died eventually of old age.
No, mankind didn't have to achieve what they already had. Human beings were created in the image of God. But at the same time, they were like, and not like, God. They weren't like God in their initial ignorance of good and evil. With the gain in knowledge of good and evil, they then became unlike God in their limited lifespans.Mankind was like God in having free will. So human beings didn't need the actions of Satan, Eve, and Adam in order to achieve free will. Free will refers to the freedom to choose between doing good and doing evil. Eve and Adam were warned by God not to eat of the forbidden fruit. Eve chose to listen to the sinister serpent despite her previous interactions with God. Adam chose to listen to Eve.
There was no mercy. Satan, Adam, and Eve all received a death sentence. From Genesis 3:15-24 Jehovah tells of how life will be from now on. Death, pain and suffering. But there is a hope, John 3:16 tells us how Gods son Jesus came to Earth to die for our sins so that one day we can gain back what Adam lost.
your original sin- handed down from Adam and eve in the garden of eden when eve was tempted by Satan to eat from the tree of knowledge. when the Lord God found out he banished them from the garden and telling them what the consequences were.when we are baptized God forgave us of that sin which would have kept us out of paradise and left us in a state of limbo. so when we are baptized we became children of God and can gain entry into heaven if we sin no more
wft this is rediculous
One point: I believe one ironic point (of the film version by Roger Corman) was that though he said he worshiped Satan because he believed he was the god of truth and reality, he also worshiped him to escape the grasps of reality. That was that death is an inevitable fate for humanity and he believed by doing Satan's work, he would gain immortality.
It is often said that certain persons will sell their souls to Satan to get personal wealth. It is a grievous sin to get gain at the expense of others. Though Satan cannot make you do his bidding he can put the temptation in your mind.
That history, from the time of Adam and Eve repeats itself. Cain killed Abel out of jealousy and to get gain, and so it has been ever since.
Practitioners of Voodoo are not involved in any way with the Christian 'Satan'. If you hear outlandish rumors like this, keep in mind they are more than likely untrue.
