WHO, WHAT, WHERE IS SATAN?
-Is Satan a literal angelic being with a pitchfork, horns, wings, a tail, and a red suit? With just a little bit of research
and some common sense, it will become clear that our understanding of Satan is based primarily on the traditions and doctrines
of men, rather than what the Bible actually teaches. As Gary Amirault has stated, we will come to find out that … "FIRE
AND TORMENT WITH MUCH SUPERSTITION WAS ADDED TO GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND FICTION. THE GODDESS OF HEL FROM NORSE MYTHOLOGY BECAME
SATAN, HERO OF MOST ESCHATOLOGY." To be blunt, the Christian explanation of Satan IS NOT CORRECT!
-The word "Satan" means ADVERSARY. This speaks of someone or something that opposes or attacks. This is WHO Satan is. He
is the adversary. Ephesians 2:2 sheds a tremendous amount of light on understanding Satan. It states, … Wherein in time
past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, THE SPIRIT THAT NOW
WORKS IN THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE … So … Satan, who is here referred to as the prince of the power of the
air, IS A SPIRIT, AND IS IN US. This spirit is said to be at work in the children of disobedience. After having stated these
things, we are now able to come to these conclusions:
1 .SATAN IS THE ADVERSARY ( THIS IS WHO HE IS )
2. SATAN IS A SPIRIT ( THIS IS WHAT HE IS )
3. SATAN OPERATES IN MAN, ESPECIALLY IN AND THROUGH THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE ( THIS IS WHERE HE IS )
-Do you remember when Jesus referred to Peter as Satan ( GET BEHIND ME SATAN )? Do you remember when the scriptures stated
that SATAN ENTERED JUDAS? How can Satan be a literal being if Jesus referred to Peter as Satan, and it is said that Satan
ENTERED Judas? When Jesus referred to Peter as Satan, He was recognizing the prince of the power of the air, the satanic spirit
that was at work in Peter. This was due to the fact that Peter was being used by that spirit to discourage Jesus from fulfilling
His mission, in telling Jesus that He did not have to die for the sin of the world, and be raised again the third day. As
far as Judas is concerned, how could a literal being enter him ( THINK ABOUT IT )? This is OBVIOUSLY referring to the SPIRIT
OF SATAN entering him.
-As was previously discussed, this SPIRIT looks to make its home in THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE. WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR
CHRISTIANS TO UNDERSTAND??? GOD IS A SPIRIT, AND LOOKS TO MAKE HIS HOME IN THE CHILDREN OF OBEDIENCE. Why should we find it
strange that Satan would be a spirit and operate in the same manner? Once again, many have been SEDUCED BY THE TRADITIONS
AND DOCTRINES OF MEN, RATHER THAN STUDYING AND PRAYING FOR THEMSELVES. They would rather have their pastor tell them about
God ( whether it is right or not ) than to know Him for themselves. Let us turn away from the traditions and MYTHS of men
to our Heavenly Father’s …
-SPIRIT AND TRUTH!-
