Satan wants to >pic related

You got the abstract bit right, but specifically NOT omniscient, as that would require a kind of infinite power of thought. Can only 'think' in one place at a time, where it is is where its attention is.

>>663272
>Can only 'think' in one place at a time,
Then he can't temp multiple people at once? So who's doing that, his minions?

In order to prevent the destruction of his kingdom, Satan makes out of his disorder itself, at its highest heat, a means of expelling himself. Because of this extraordinary power, Satan is the prince of this world. If he could not protect his domain from the violence that threatens to destroy it, even though it is essentially his own, he would not merit this title of prince, which the Gospels do not award him lightly. If he were purely a destroyer, Satan would have lost his domain long ago. To understand why he is the master of all the kingdoms of this world, we must take Jesus at his word: disorder expels disorder, or in other words Satan really expels Satan. By executing this extraordinary feat, he has been able to make himself indispensable, and so his power remains great.

>>663288
>we must take Jesus at his word: disorder expels disorder, or in other words Satan really expels Satan
What. Didn't the Pharisees accuse Christ of casting out demons with Satan's help, and then Christ said Satan doesn't fight himself?

>>663292
Accusing a rival exorcist of expelling demons by the power of Satan must have been a common accusation in that period. Many people must have repeated it mechanically. Jesus wants to make his hearers reflect on its implications. If it is true that Satan expels Satan, how does he go about it? How is this tour de force possible?
Jesus does not deny the reality of Satan's self-expulsion; he asserts it. The proof that Satan possesses this power is the affirmation, frequently repeated, that this power is coming to its end. The imminent fall of Satan, prophesied by Christ, is one and the same thing as the end of his power of self-expulsion. The demonic or satanic expulsion of demons has worked previously, at least temporarily, because the violent outcome of scandal, the violent expulsion of scapegoats, works for a while.

>>663299
Jesus denies he is expelling demons in Satan's name, suirely

Tell me about Satan. Why does he wear the hooves?

Reminder that he did nothing wrong.

>>663317
Satan is frequently identified as a goat just as Christ is a lamb. Goats do not have a negative connotation in the OT, but they probably took one on in the NT (Christ also speaks as those who get forgiven as sheep and those cast out as goats) do to the cult of Pan, which was identified with worship of the Devil.

>>663330
>According to the Greek historian Plutarch (in De defectu oraculorum, "The Obsolescence of Oracles"),[29] Pan is the only Greek god (other than Asclepius) who actually dies. During the reign of Tiberius (A.D. 14–37), the news of Pan's death came to one Thamus, a sailor on his way to Italy by way of the island of Paxi. A divine voice hailed him across the salt water, "Thamus, are you there? When you reach Palodes,[30] take care to proclaim that the great god Pan is dead." Which Thamus did, and the news was greeted from shore with groans and laments.

The funny thing is that satan never says his name. He's always in disguise, and the image people have of satan is compeltely the opposite of how it appears to you in real world.

Satan seducts, that means Satan will do whatever you like. He is love, peace, sexy girls, kind words, whatever you like.

>>663272
What's your religion? If you name it also name the exact specifics.

>>663461
But wouldn't that mean whenever someone's happy, that's Satan? What if someone's found happiness in God?

Helel has as much power as the average polytheistic god.

>>666511

Satan is a force that leads men astray from the path of eternal life. Personified temptation, evilness, sinfulness, etc.

>>663461

>>666535
>bible belt protestants pull this out of their ass just so they can continue to hate hippies

What you should know about Satan, is that he is not evil, as in pure evil or whatever you might think.. briefly put, he's an angel who got jelaous when god created us and started sinning, then he disagreed with God, did a few bad things to us and he was sent to Hell for all eternity. His hate towards us, his extreme arrogant behavior and thinking that we are but mud monkeys simply made him to create a place where people go when they sin.

He doesn't neccessarily do evil things as in pure destruction or annihilation or whatever, no, he's smart, all he has to do is get you even a little bit out of the right path, even a tiny little bit,and you're done, he won. He will do everything but to appear evil or basically make you feel uncomfortable. He will appear caring, loving, basically he is the definition of manipulation. His extreme manipulations barely scratch our minds as we cannot even comprehend what is happening most of the times, since he is freaking Satan and is a hundred moves ahead of us.

Satan cannot be recognized if you look for evil, because you will not see it. His manipulations are too great.

HAIL SATAN MY DARK LORD AND MASTER

Morals and ethics are an illusion of Satan to lead man astray. They foster doubt in the validity and supreme authority of the word of the Lord and His laws. Many philosophers have attempted to use morals and ethics to disprove the Lord's benevolence. Like with science, Satan has enabled this by giving man the illusion he can understand ultimate truth, know more than the Omniscient. But the basis of science and morals and ethics is not knowledge, it is doubt, proving they are the work of Satan. Make no mistake, morals and ethics are humanistic in nature, an imperfect human tainted by sin can not begin to comprehend the thinking of the Creator. To attempt to apply them to the workings of the Divine is folly, morals and ethics do not apply to God. It is hubris to treat God as but a simple man. There is no God but God, concepts of relative fairness do not apply to God, for God has no equals. The only morals and ethics that apply to God are how he he judges all of mankind as the ultimate judge. The concept of morals and ethics are ultimately paradoxical. Man in his imperfection can not determine the ultimate truth and judge between right and wrong. Man putting his own finite thoughts ahead of the thoughts of infinite knowledge is beyond pointless. It is man saying he is superior to God. People enter conflict because of differing morals and ethics, a Satanic plot to divide and plant the seeds of doubt. Philosophers are Satanically inspired, they think because they doubt, not because they know. Only He who is perfect and omniscient can knows truth in its entirety, and the only being capable of judging what is good and evil. You can not judge God by the standards of man, you can not judge the word of God or the law of God, to do so is to presume dominion over God, the Creator of all. You, as man, need only know the absolute Truth of God, you, the imperfect being, can not comprehend nor understand God, the perfect being, you can only know God. God is the Truth.

So ... Satan is gay.

...Probably true.

>>663256
Um, NO!
Satan has been around for at least 1,000's of years, doesn't sleep, or have a body that is getting old (like us) so he probably doesn't forget much. and can read expressions body language, and has seen every sin known to man. knows how we react, and can predict behavior..... BUT he is nowhere near omniscient - like God, Nor is he 'everywhere' or see everything. but he does see a lot - also the legions of -other- demons are subject to him, to report, watch, act, confuse, influence in many many ways - whoever, whenever, across the globe, unseen.

What people tend to forget about Satan is that he does not have any discrete power. Milton was a poet; Satan does not rule in hell. Hell is his prison, his own eternal torment. Misery just loves company, and that is the only way people go to hell, not through any power of the devil's, but through his deceitful temptations convincing humans to voluntarily condemn themselves.

If you're scared of satan, Catholic. Everybody wants the Catholics when it's time for an exorcism.

a more theologically complete way to think of it:

God is the source of being, and good. he is omniscient to creation as a musician is to whatever song he's playing. that is, he knows all because he's the source of all.

Satan is evil, and evil is simply a privation, or lack of goodness. Satan then can be aware of a given instance of what and how he is depriving the universe of goodness, but he cannot predict how existence will issue forth from God in the future, nor is he innately aware of all of existence at once.
that is, going back to our "God the musician" analogy, Satan is like that dick who comes into the concert hall screaming and banging cymbals like a cock. he knows he's fucking up the performance, but he doesn't know specifically how the performer will respond to it.

The tradition understanding is that the verse in Isaiah has a double-meaning which refers to Satan. Take a look at any Church Father's commentary on Isaiah. You can't just pass on the Bible without passing on what the Bible meant, dude.

Lucifer was Satan's title before he fell.

>>667691
No, it still isn't canon. If canon was determined by popularity then Arianism would have been seen as valid and not heresy.

>>667743
>Lucifer was Satan's title before he fell.
Satan was Lucifer's title before he fell. Satan still works for God during Job, and presumably some other angel has taken the position of heavenly Satan (or Lucifer/Helel is still tempting/testing people as the Satan would but out of bitterness and desperation rather than duty.)

You don't know Christianity then, bro. God is found in Jesus Christ, a completely real person/personality. Satan is more of the abstract entity, but even still, his intention is to steal, kill, and destroy people of the world through his attacks. That gives him personality too - a relentless, wicked one but a personality, no less. It was by pride that the devil fell from heaven, and if an abstract entity can have pride without a personality, then I don't know it.

>>668501
Technically God is within us all, not just Jesus Christ. I think Jesus had *more* of God in us than others, however I also side with the Muslims, he was just another prophet like Moses or Abraham, no different.

And this is coming from someone who believed the miracles he performed.

Fuck it, I'll jump on the reply train. I'm deep into traps and just woke up dreaming of driving a Thai ladyboy on a moped through the distant overgrown hinterland, far away from Bangkok.

>>669004

>>669019
Yes, I can still see and smell it today. SO cash, she was more of a lady than most American girls that's for sure. Anyways yeah I was into Buddhism since I became an edgy teen but I'm struggling with Christianity as well too, especially after this thread.

>>669035

I'm actually sliding into thinking about Buddhism and Taoism now that I'm looking at other things. What did you find repulsive about those schools of thought that made you turn back? I just don't want to be too edgy and veer away from the tradition of my forefathers so easily. I'm 20 now.

>>669057
Definitely more into Taoism to be specific actually, but it's hard to find in the west compared to Buddhist stuff. Hmm about Buddhism I don't like the fact that it's so...nihilistic. But it has some great stuff about it too. Taoism seems cooler. Hmm yeah the fact Christianity is the religion of my ancestors and the feeling it gives me inside despite being less logical and permissive than these eastern philosophies, plus all the coincidences lately pointing me that way, including this thread.

>angel has feelings
>angel disobeys god
do you not know how angels function ? they don't have an opinion, they receive a command from god and they execute the command.

SATAN, used to be a saint, in the old world, the world where majik devastated earth and living creatures. demons lived freely on earth before mankind, they were made out of fire, they had norms and routines, but they started killing each other and endless wars using powerful majik that would attract meteors, change weather, and activate volcanoes.

GOD, destroyed every last one of them, excluding satan, for he was faithful and devoted to god.

It was the creation of ADAM that truly awakened satan's hatred ego and envy, and when GOD commanded all angels to bow down before adam, they did, except satan who was from the old world and isn't an angel, he disobeyed and argued that adam is a lesser creation than himself.

AND you know how the rest goes. but the moral of the story is there is no such thing as fallen angels, angels are too obedient to god, and if, that's a big if and nearly impossible, an angel would disobey god, then the angel would be exterminated on spot, for angels have no free will, they were created to obey. so plz don't call satan an angel, he isn't worth the dirt beneath adams toenail.

>>669069

Reading the Tao te ching made me think about some shit. To tell you the truth, I don't really mind the Marian nature of Catholicism. There's something about knowing there's a pure, benevolent female archetype in play that comforts me about religion (especially how I think about women).

what Bible says is that Satan was cast down on EARTH and was in fact even called a ruler of it he WILL be cast to Hell after Judgement Day but he will suffer there alongside his followers he won't poke anyone with a pitchfork. Seriosly half of the shit people believe is essentially fan fiction they might as well represent Jesus with a 12 gauge.

It depends on the sect.

For the most part in mainstream Christianity Satan is just a being of pure concentrated impiety and evil but like everything else in the universe is under the total mercy and control of god. It's like the universe is giant prison where god is the warden, and Satan is the biggest, blackest nigger in the place.

>>670082

You mean, Satan is the prison snitch.

Satanists, if they have any self-respect, should want to expose Satan for this, not join his snitch club for it's own benefits.

There is nothing like good or evil. These both are only categories made up by humans to make their lifes easier and to make them think less. Everything outside of the human domain must not be treated within these categories. So there is nothing like a god or satan, nor is can they be good or evil. Everything good or evil is inside of us humans and we made up such things like a god or a satan to not have to reflect ourselves. So satan in christianity is just the counterpart of god to reflect the whole human spectrum of action and to have someone to blame for the side of humans which is comoonly refered to as "bad".

The devil, lucifer and the satan are three separate characters. Shit, satan isn't even a name but a title given to the angel whose job it is to accuse mankind. Lucifer is an angel or Elohim and the devil is a Pan-like trickster who first showed up in stage plays.

correct

satan as a being is identified with the fallen angel samael, but it also served as a title (ha-satan). different version include sammael, satanael, sataniel. this is the name he is worshipped under by satanists
likewise, lucifer (or phosphorus) was a dub of the name helel, many protties identified that as a fall of babylonian king, but that name did exist in demonology before, otherwise known as heylel or helel ben shachar/son of venus/the morning star. the latter was also title used towards Jesus
devil is a synonym for fallen angel (probably invented by christians), it's not equated with demon (shedim), who gave rise to islamic djinns

examples of devils who are not satan and/or lucifer:

*many different interpretations, association with evil mainly comes from demonology

Morals and ethics are an illusion of Satan to lead man astray. They foster doubt in the validity and supreme authority of the word of the Lord and His laws. Many philosophers have attempted to use morals and ethics to disprove the Lord's benevolence. Like with science, Satan has enabled this by giving man the illusion he can understand ultimate truth, know more than the Omniscient. But the basis of science and morals and ethics is not knowledge, it is doubt, proving they are the work of Satan. Make no mistake, morals and ethics are humanistic in nature, an imperfect human tainted by sin can not begin to comprehend the thinking of the Creator. To attempt to apply them to the workings of the Divine is folly, morals and ethics do not apply to God. It is hubris to treat God as but a simple man. There is no God but God, concepts of relative fairness do not apply to God, for God has no equals. The only morals and ethics that apply to God are how he he judges all of mankind as the ultimate judge. The concept of morals and ethics are ultimately paradoxical. Man in his imperfection can not determine the ultimate truth and judge between right and wrong. Man putting his own finite thoughts ahead of the thoughts of infinite knowledge is beyond pointless. It is man saying he is superior to God. People enter conflict because of differing morals and ethics, a Satanic plot to divide and plant the seeds of doubt. Philosophers are Satanically inspired, they think because they doubt, not because they know. Only He who is perfect and omniscient can knows truth in its entirety, and the only being capable of judging what is good and evil. You can not judge God by the standards of man, you can not judge the word of God or the law of God, to do so is to presume dominion over God, the Creator of all. You, as man, need only know the absolute Truth of God, you, the imperfect being, can not comprehend nor understand God, the perfect being, you can only know God. God is the Truth.

>God created an Angel he knew would be against him

ebin.

>>676104
>if God had willed it
Many instances from study of scripture leads me to believe there is an essence to evil which is essentially uncontrollable. Like some material approximation towards evil that cannot or will not(for whatever reason) be completely eradicated, not yet at least.

So that is why the existence of humanity up until now has been a struggle between good and evil. Think of a thorn in your side.

Anyway, these temptations are what causes angels to fall.

>>676118
Makes no sense.

God created everything, I thought he was supposed to be perfect in every way.

If he didn't want their to be evil he should have made it that way.

If God is so flawed to let evil be a reality then why should anybody believe in him.

It's far more likely that there is no God and we're on our own.

God did create everything, and in the beginning there was no sin. But eventually the serpent tempted Eve into giving an apple to Adam. I suppose this was the fall of man into sin. The Quran also points to the fact that Satan was involved in this as well.

If you're having trouble with the existence of Satan, he has a kingdom and it will come to utter destruction on the day still approaching, its time is fixed. But that is exactly why evil exists, to test you.

>If God is so flawed to let evil be a reality then why should anybody believe in him.
If evil didn't exist we would all be in Eden and wouldn't have to worry about material possessions and pleasures, far be it from you to assert evil does not exist. You should worship him because essentially there WILL come a day when Satan's kingdom will come undone.

>>676152
>But eventually the serpent tempted Eve into giving an apple to Adam

Where the hell did this serpent come from?

Why would God allow evil to invade paradise or create it to begin with?

Would would God be so sadistic to test us with temptations and punish us if we gave into anything that goes against his wishes?

It makes Z E R O sense for him to create a life with the propensity for evil, sounds like a sick experiment and we're the lab rats.

This doesn't sound like an all loving God to me, it sounds like a child throwing two aggressive insects against each other and seeing who wins.

>sounds like a sick experiment and we're the lab rats.
Enough, deal with what you're given. This is a passing state of existence. See you on the other side, I hope.

>>676180
>Enough, deal with what you're given.

???

The fact you can't defend your own beliefs doesn't raise much confidence.

Since most of christians are basically mom cults who join up out of loneliness or being sad druggards you get a very simplified version of him. He's the big bad in control of the big bad blob of life.

Now the original "satan" is quite interesting, he was basically a mindless drone and in some ways an aspect of the will of god. In some sects god rebels against himself and locks away the "faulty" angels and in some sect the rebellion never happens, god is just a fucking cunt and is testing people under the guise of satan.

Mind you christianity is a 2000 year old book about a jewish philosopher rewritten every 50 years. To find the "true" satan would be pretty fucking hard.
