Satan ["...the great DRAGON... that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan..." - Rev.12:9] has been deceiving and tempting man since man's creation:

"Now the serpent [Literal Bible LITw/Strong's Definitions - 'nachash': naw-khawsh -- or 'whispering enchanter' which lends itself to the English translation of 'snake' (from the snake's HISS)] WAS THE SHREWDEST OF ALL THE CREATURES THE LORD God MADE.

'Really?' he asked [he 'hissed' at; 'whispered'] to the woman. 'Did God REALLY SAY you must not eat any of the fruit in the garden?'" (Gen.3:1 NLT New Living Translation)

Satan took man's "innocence" away from him [and her] when he awakened the "selfish and rebellious" nature of man's spirit within him. Satan started man on his road to "sin" [which is DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD'S COMMANDMENTS - I John 3:4]. SIN IS ignoring and disobeying what God commands of His creation, man. That's what sin HAS ALWAYS BEEN... and that's what SIN STILL IS!

The LORD's commandment to man has always been to OBEY HIS VOICE... OBEY WHAT HE COMMANDS. And when He came to earth as a "man".... the LORD Jesus Christ [the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament -- John 1:3 -- who made Adam and Eve] commanded of His servants THE VERY SAME THING:

"You are My friends IF YOU OBEY ME... I COMMAND YOU TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER." (John 15:14-17 NLT) [which is the real TWOFOLD INTENT of the teachings of the Ten Commandments are all about: HOW TO LOVE OUR CREATOR, and HOW TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER]

All Satan had to do was "tempt and deceive" the TWO PEOPLE GOD CREATED... [the first two parents]. After that, the die was cast... man's spirit was blinded, his rebellious nature and sin was awakened in him [his child-like innocence was taken]... and parents throughout the succeeding generations of mankind have been OBEYING THE GOD THEY CHOSE TO WORSHIP in the garden [the god of this world], and have been teaching those deceptions and lies to their children ever since.

"This great Dragon - the ancient Serpent called the Devil, or Satan, THE ONE DECEIVING [or tempting] THE WHOLE WORLD - was thrown down to the earth with ALL HIS ANGELS." (Rev.12:9 NLT)

Satan and his demons have been causing man to sin [to disobey God's Laws... to hate one another; to be envious and jealous of one another; to be filled with rage and murder one another] from the beginning.

The entire Bible is filled with man's being tempted by Satan [read most anywhere throughout the Book of man's treacherous dealings with one another; of man's petty hatreds and wars... and you can know that Satan is there at the bottom of it. It's the history of this world.

And Satan and his demons are still here on earth among us - still doing the same thing they always have. And few people in the world understand what's happening.

Is Jesus Satan the morning star?

No. Jesus and Satan are two very different individuals. However, there is difficulty between the King James translation of scripture and the NIV and other newer translations of the bible. There's way too much detail in the problems of translation to go into here, but both Jesus and Satan are referred to as a morning star in the NIV. In the KJ Bible they are not. Even without regard to the various translations of scripture, is clear that Jesus and Satan are nothing alike. As God, Christ is an eternal being having no beginning and no end. Satan is a created being, created by God. God is sovereign, meaning powerful over all, while Satan cannot claim such power. Jesus refers to Satan at the devil, as a murderer. In the desert during Christ's temptations, Satan offered the world to Jesus if Jesus would only bow down to worship him. These two are set apart clearly in scripture. As to the correct interpretation of the morning star, your guess is as good as mine.

Can you talk to Jesus online?

NO. Jesus knows everything all the time, your thoughts, your actions etc; Jesus is yet to come again. He would never go do anything to confuse us. Satan is the author of confusion. Satan can even appear as an angel of light; the bible says My children die because of ignorance. Pray to Jesus, in private and read your bible; The Holy Bible [not a religious version; the original version]


What is the son of Satan's name?

Satan was a created angel and as such probably has no children through a bond with a female. However the Bible calls all who does not follow Jesus Christ, but follows Satan a "son" of Satan. In this sense Satan has many sons. Name any name you like and there is probable more than a few who are Satan's sons.
