What do Christians believe the purpose of evil is?
Well for one thing, there are many types of Christians that believe differently about the purpose of evil. However, the true Christian who relies on the Bible can easily learn what the purpose of evil is. Such as for example at Psalm 92:7 says: "When the wicked ones sprout as the vegetation and all the practice's of what is hurtful blossom forth, it is that they may be annihilated forever."
Yes, as it was in Noah's day, the present proliferation of evil is evidence that God's judgement is impending, not just against wicked humans but also against Satan and his demons, who will be hurled into an abyss of inactivity as a prelude to their eventual destruction. (Read 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and Revelation 20:1-3, 7-10)
So who will execute that judgement? Well, none other than Jesus Christ, about whom we read: "For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil."-1 John 3:8. Of course, we need to ask the question, Do we yearn for an end to evil? If so, then you can take comfort in the promises contain in the Bible. You see, no other book exposes the very author of evil, Satan, and no other book shows how he and all his wicked works will finally be eradicated. So we urge you to just take in accurate knowledge of the Bible so as to protect yourself against Satan's evil influences now and to secure the hope of living in a world free from evil. Just read Psalm 37:9,10. Addendum: Here is an extended look at Mr. Guzman's fine answer-According to some Christian Theologists, they believe evil exists because God gives them "free will" . Christianity opines that because Adam and Eve disobeyed God, it caused mankind to draw away from Him. It is said that suffering exists not only because God exerts justice on the evil of mankind but also because He can allow people to grow to make them stronger Christians through suffering . Beth Davies-Stofko,who writes for Patheos Library says, in part: Human suffering takes many forms: emotional(lonliness,anxiety,grief); natural(earthquakes,floods,tsunamis,forestfires);moral suffering(breaking God's commandments-sinning). Irenaes, an early church father of the 2nd century formed an argument to show evil is necessary for human moral and spiritual developement so that Christians can strive and grow into fellowship with God.
Does Micheal Jackson worthship the devil?
There is no credible evidence to suggest that Michael Jackson worshipped the devil. Throughout his career, Jackson often faced rumors and speculation about his personal life and beliefs, but these were largely unfounded. His music and artistry often conveyed themes of love, unity, and social justice. While some controversial imagery in his videos was subject to interpretation, it does not reflect any actual devotion to satanic practices.
Who allows Satan the freedom to pursue his evil intentions?
From another post: "According to Milton in the lines between 210-220 the all ruling heaven left him at large to his own dark designs."
Can the devil take control over someone?
No dear, in the Bible it says "Greater is he who is in us then he who is in the world." That means that Jesus is SO much greater than Satan. Only if you believe and terrified of the Devil. If you do, then the Devil can capture your mind.
The devil exists whether we believe in Him or not. The person who is fearful is more likely to be wary than one who is foolish enough to doubt the devil's real existence. Plenty of people who are not Christians also believe in the real existence of the devil whom they worship and serve.
Mostly, the devil will succeed because he uses people's tendency to be like himself - in a state of rebellion against God, and in a sense, their own God. He doesn't really care if people don't worship him directly, as long as they don't worship the true God, Jesus Christ the Lord.
The 'taken captive at his will' in the verses below, refers, in context, to such a capture, as previously these people had been opposing the truth, which activity and attitude the devil exploited to his own ends. Thus, he has no more power over them than people allow him.
=== ===
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
NO, according to James 4:7. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
Oh no, he can't. Don't get me wrong, Satan has power and he is roaming the world looking for people. But greater is he (Jesus Christ) who is in you (if you asked him to) than he (Satan) who is in the world. God has unlimited power, but Satan is limited God loves us and only you can choose to be captured by Satan by not following Christ.

What is the best way to devour someone's soul?
You cannot devour someone's soul; why would you even want to? If you loathe someone that much I can see only two options: stay away from that person or better yet forgive that person for whatever reason you feel that they wronged you. I would actually do both. If you forgive them you will feel much better. If you keep holding on to ill feelings toward others before long it will eat away at you like a nasty disease. In other words you will devour your own soul and just be miserable.
Why does Satan has a winnowing fork?
The "Devil's Pitchfork" is actually a very ancient symbol predating Christianity by thousands of years. This symbol originated in the Far East.
It is known as the "TRISHUL" and symbolizes piercing through the three knots in the base, the heart and 6th chakras, also known as "granthis" in Sanskrit. For the serpent to ascend, all three must be open. The Trishul symbolizes the serpentine energy piercing through the three granthis.

Khabis was the father of Satan. Khabis' father was the king of the Jinns, and his name was Hanmus. Khabis looked like a dreadful lion and his nature too was like that of a lion.
