Here is what The Bible has to say about Satan before he became the Devil.
Ezekiel 28: 11-19 describes the Devil as the most beautiful of all creation in the heaven , the model of perfection , of wisdom, perfect in beauty and adorned with every precious stone . He was faultless in his ways, until unrighteousness was found in him.
Verse 17 reads. " Your heart ( Satan's heart ) became haughty because of his beauty. You corrupted your wisdom because of your own glorious splendour".
Job 1: 6 -12 shows that Satan was able to directly communicate with God.
So to answer your question. The Devil was first a friend of God until he became corrupted and lacked wisdom due to his choice. That is why the meaning of the name Satan is resister, adversary of God.
John 8: 44 describes Satan the Devil as a murderer and a liar who did not stand fast in the truth. Which means that he was once a friend of God but decided to no longer live in harmony with God's friendship.
So YES the devil was once friends with God.
What else can I help you with?
Is god the devils brother?
That depends on the religon. For Christians: No. The devil is a fallen angel by the name of Lucifer. All angels were created by God, even the ones who eventually became evil. It depends. If you use the Greek mythology the equivalent of God is Zeus and the Devil is Hades, they are brothers. So you have to ask does Zeus love his brother. I guess it depends on what Religion or Mythology you look at the situation.
God vs devil who will win?
Earthellism can answer the question God versus the devil, who will win. World War II was an example of this question. The human devils were Hitler and Stalin and God was represented by love. In a sense Poland and European Jews were on God's side. If we logically look at the outcome of WWII we can clearly see who really won. Hitler tried to wipe out European Jews but resulted in the creation of a nuclear state of Israel. Hitler's skull is now a paper weight in the Kremlin. Stalin did initially destroy Poland and killed over 22,000 of its leaders. But in the end the Soviet Union was destroyed and Poland gave us a great Pope and is now a great country. God and love will always defeat hate and the devil in the long term. In the short term, hate and the devil will always have a few victories in the form of innocent blood, but their outcome should never be in doubt. The new philosophy of Earthellism can finally explain to us the limited direct powers of God and the unlimited indirect powers of God.
What was the bet about between god and Satan?
While Faust is alive and walks the Earth, the devil (Mephistopheles) does his bidding. But once he dies he will go straight to hell and do the devil's bidding for the rest of eternity. If he ever wants to prolong his time on Earth, he will die immediately. The contract is signed in blood.
Where are Bible verses about resisting the devil in the New Testament?
James 4: 7 reads: " Subject yourselves to God; but oppose the devil, and he will flee from you. It is not only important to know where it is written in the Bible, it is even more important to know what it means. James chapter 4 1-5 show us where the source of war comes from, and how friendship for the world of Satan is enmity with God. The undeserved kindness comes from God to those who are humble, but He opposes the haughty ones. James 4: 8 reads : "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to us. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you indecisive ones". Resisting the devil and being successful means giving power to God's requirements, expressed by Jesus in Matthew in these words. "Man/woman must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jehovah's mouth". Jeremiah 10. 23 reminds us that " It does not belong to man/woman who is walking even to direct his/ her step." Which means humans were not created to rule themselves. They do a poor job of governing other people and solving their problems.
What does it mean when they say the devil is a lie?
Here is what the Bible has to say about the Devil. According to John 8: 44 which reads: " You are from your father the Devil, and you want to do the desires of your father . That one was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of lie." According to Genesis 3: 4, Satan the Devil promised Eve that she will be like God if she listened to him. Well ! That did not happen. Did it? According to Genesis 3: 16-19 Adam and Eve died, knowing what it is to suffer from pain in giving birth and struggling to put food on the table for their family, because the earth was cursed. Which proves that the Devil is a liar. Romans 5: 12 explains why our world is in such a mess, in these words. " That is why, just as through one man sin (which means the lost of perfection ) entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned. According to Genesis 2: 17, God gave Adam the possibility to live forever, and the Devil's lie that has spread like a desease on mankind brought our world to what it is today. Adam knew that if he did not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, he would not have died. That command in Genesis 2: 17 would have made no sense if he was meant to grow old and die anyway. Today the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one, according to 1 John 5: 19 and Revelation 12: 9 describes the wicked one as the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth". 1 John 5: 20 reads. " The Son of God has come, and he has given us insight ( mental perception; intellectual capacity ) so that we may gain knowledge of the one who is true. And we are in union with the one who is true, by means of his Son Jesus Christ. There are only two influences. The Devil's influence and God's influence due to the knowledge that most humans have disowned so far, and are caught up in the Devil's lie. God's purpose has not changed, which is everlasting life in a paradise for all those who choose to live up to His requirements. Psalm 37: 29 reads: " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it". So to answer your question, which is what does it mean "the devil is a lie" It means that mankind was misled, because the Devil slandered God, with the intend to damage God's reputation. God's kingdom in the government that will undo all the harm that millnniums of human rule have done. It will provide: perfect health, peace and security, and a clean environment, the gift that was given to Adam and Eve that the Deyil's lie has deprived mankind from. Read Daniel 2: 44 ; Matthew 6: 9,10. All humans have the opportunity to be influenced by the accurate knowledge from God's word, the Bible. It is the way that God has chosen to communicate with mankind.
