This thread is about pagan beliefs.
I am not going to discuss the Mohammed and his writings but would like to point out that the Christian Satan supposedly a fallen angel is another Egyptian pagan belief adapted by Christians.
Anybody quoting Re 12:9 as proof has simply no idea what he is talking about because he doesn’t know that this symbolic texts refers to the great red dragon of Re 12:3 which is very well described in the Bible like Da 7 and Re 17.
Anybody following the pagan fable that Satan is a fallen angel must first explain why Jesus called Peter Satan, why there is no text stating that Satan is a fallen angel.
No explanation necessary.
Every student of New Testament Greek and the Hebrew behind the O.T.
already knows that "satan" simply is a common Hebrew noun that means adversary.
That doesn't preclude an angel (like the one actually called
'the adversary' in Job chapter 1) or narrator using it as a title, or Jesus getting angry
and speaking in Hebrew or Aramaic to Peter, and calling him "Adversary!".
And Jesus' NT usage of "satan" (i.e., the Hebrew word "Adversary")
doesn't preclude it being used (as it is in fact used several times)
as both a title and even a nickname for a unique being previously
known about.
What you have also (conveniently?) forgotten is that our current Bible
(here in the West) is missing an important book,
the Book of Enoch,
which is both quoted several times and alluded to in other NT writings,
and is also in fact INCLUDED in the Canon of the Etheopic Bible.
That book describes the fallen angels in detail, and was a book
well known and in circulation and very popular at the time of Jesus.
Jude, Peter, Paul, and even the Gospels refer to statements made
in the book of Enoch, and even quote it.
When Enoch is included in the Bible, many passages about Satan
make a lot more sense, and the existance and identity of both Satan
and the other angels who followed him becomes obvious.
Your lame and poorly argued claim that there is no being named "Satan"
is precarious at best, and certainly doesn't line up with the beliefs and
superstitions actually held by people at the time of Jesus.
Therefore, inferring this pagan belief into the Bible as a supernatural power existing besides the power of God is totally contrary to the clear Bible teaching. The Bible teaches that there is no power besides the Power of God. It teaches that God not a stupid Christian” idol kills; that God gives bad spirits, that God sends lying spirits.
Again, you have no
"clear Bible teaching" to boast about since you
aren't even using the same Canon as Jesus and His contemporaries were.
Your claim that there is no power besides God is ludicrous.
Obviously any being, powerful or weak who rebels against God and
disobeys God is a power that exists besides God and is a power that
at least temporarily successfully opposes God and God's will.
That being a FACT, there is no logical nor theological reason
why a being like "Satan" can't exist, and temporarily rebel against God,
exercising power and thwarting the plans of God and God's servants.
You seem to have forgotten that Daniel itself is a book in the Bible
that testifies to probably supernatural or angelic OPPONENTS to
God's angels. One angel actually told Daniel he was delayed by
an opponent, who was probably supernatural.
Thus, wherever there are ANY beings who can oppose God,
then God can't be the "only power" in the universe.
You are a moron.
So those who claim possession of good Biblical knowledge must know that they are propagating a stupid idol.
Not all idolatry is committed with stone statues.
One can idolize Elvis, or Emperors, or war heroes, or even mythical beings.
The fact that we are committing idolatry is no guarantee that the
thing we are idolizing is not a living being who may oppose God.
