What is the devil?

The devil in Judaism and Christianity comes from the Jewish Bible, which is the Old Testament of Christianity.

The original text means the slanderer and also refers to Satan. In the Bible, he is a powerful god opposed to God and the ruler of the current human world. Therefore, this word has only a single referential meaning in Jewish and Christian texts.

Definition of the devil: the selfish desires of those who are unwilling to obey God are the devil.

But in other cultures, the meaning of the devil has changed, but it is generally believed that the word contains derogatory elements.
