satan means, “adversary”, an enemy or opponent. satan’s supreme desire is to turn you as far away from God as possible. He lies to you so you will deny God’s existence or he adds or takes away words from the Bible about God’s character. satan is the father of lies and there is NO truth in him; John 8:44. And give no opportunity to the devil; Ephesians 4:27.
satan was originally created as an angel to serve and glorify God.
satan rebelled against God because he loved himself (pride) more than he loved God. Pride and idolatry are sins. satan now dwells in the earthly realm. Luke 10:18 Jesus says, “I saw satan fall like lightning from heaven.” He is our adversary and he roams the earth seeking whom he may devour; 1 Peter 5:8.
False teachers, preachers, prophets, are satan’s disciples. They spread false teachings. These teachers mix ideas that don’t align with God’s Word. They ignore His Truth. Their messages oppose God’s teachings. They serve evil. They are satan’s scumbags.
satan is exact opposite of Jesus. Jesus in Light, satan is darkness, sinful, and evil. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (destroy completely), 1 Peter 5:8.
