The origin and destruction of Satan

The Origin and Death of Satan: The image of Satan in Tana Sutra is an ancient snake (Gu Long), but before the Roman Church compiled the New Testament, the image of Satan was not a demon. After the rise of Christianity, Satan has become an out-and-out demon. He is not only free to do evil, but also unscrupulous. At the end of the world, he will be defeated by blazing angel Michael and then thrown into eternal hell by God.

Satan in Job in the Old Testament, far from being an enemy of God, made a bet with God to test Job's confidence in God. Satan is also burdened with the crime of spying on mankind, and in the final judgment of the end of the world, he will report the crimes of mankind.

Satan has the image of "seducer" and "informer" at the same time, seducing human beings (such as seducing Adam and Eve to eat forbidden fruit and seducing Job), and also seducing human beings to commit crimes as the king of demons. All this can be regarded as a test of human faith with the acquiescence of God.

Paying attention to Satanism was a tradition of the church until the Enlightenment. After the Enlightenment, rationalism rose, and people felt that they should use a rational attitude to explain the world and their own experience. Therefore, hermeneutics scholars and theologians are busy eliminating the myth of Satan, trying to prove that Satan is only a human demon, and it does not exist.

According to Vladimir Solovyov (who died in 1900), this is Satan's most insidious trick. It hides itself, so it is the most powerful proof of its existence. As the 20th century enters the final stage, and the 2 1 century is about to begin, people pay more attention to the spiritual world. People who used to look at people who talk about the devil differently will show incredible expressions to people who don't believe in the existence of Satan today.

People's attitude towards Satan is often dangerous: either they don't believe it or they believe it too much; The former is a cover-up, while the latter is an accomplice. We must seek truth from facts, neither underestimate nor exaggerate the power of Satan, and resist it with the lessons of the Bible.
