Is Satan real or just a symbol principle or quality of evil Genesis 3 1 [See Genesis 3 2 also. Is Eve conversing with an actual serpent a symbol or Satan himself Please explain to me how you talk to a literal serpent or a symbol]. Job 1 7 [See Job 1 12 and 2 2 also. Do you suppose God was talking to just a symbol Can a symbol walk to and fro on the earth and answer God s questions Please explain]. Ezekiel 28 12-19 [A description of Satan (king of Tyrus). Do you suppose God created something just symbolic What is an anointed cherub that covereth Who anointed him See Isaiah 14 11-20 also. Lucifer hay-lale in the Hebrew language from (in the sense of brightness) the morning star fake ]. Mark 1 13 [Was Jesus tempted by something symbolic or the real Satan] 2 Corinthians 11 3 [Did something symbolic beguile (wholly seduce) Eve] Beguile ex-ap-at-ah -o [In the Greek language] from G1537 and G538 to seduce wholly beguile deceive.

Is something just symbolic being cast to earth How many does he deceive The dragon and the serpent are just two of the many names and roles of Satan]. Do you suppose a symbol is being cast out of heaven Who would want you to think he is just a symbol I ll give you one guess his initials are Satan. I believe these are just a few of the verses that confirm Satan is real and not just symbolic as some choose to believe. He will be cast out on earth in the future and he will be the antichrist [which means instead of Christ in the Greek language]. Regardless of your beliefs keep studying your Bibles completely don t omit any part of it. Food for thought Some view Satan the Devil as just a symbol principle or quality of evil that exists inside us. However the Bible records a conversation between God and Satan. God is perfect so he could not have been talking to an evil part of himself. (Deuteronomy 32 4) Likewise Satan tempted Jesus who is God in the flesh and free of sin. (Matthew 4 8-10 1 John 3 5) Thus the Bible shows that the Devil is real and not merely a personification of evil. Remember Satan s stock-in-trade are lies and deceptions he wants you to believe he is just symbolic. He has warehouses full of lies He will always oblige those who have no Biblical knowledge. He has filled the world with trivial pursuits and the unwary gladly taste their delights. To have no knowledge of God s wonderful word is bad enough but the majority of Christians are satisfied with their ignorance. They have no thought that knowledge is preparation for eternity. The Kingdom of God will shortly be the Kingdom on earth. The Lord s prayer makes this abundantly clear. Thy Kingdom come . Prepare now don t wait till it is too late
