The devil at the dawn of Christianity bore little resemblance to the ruler of hell, the antichrist and agent of evil that he is known as in present day. Satan makes few overt or implied appearances in the Old Testament. For the important role of God’s greatest adversary, early Christians had to flesh out great parts of Satan’s story in order to develop him into his present, fearsome persona. The Christian story of the Devil is heavily influenced by earlier Greek mythology, and early Christian writings about the Devil co-opted local mythology in order to gain new converts and discredit popular pagan beliefs.

The devil is known to be the ruler of hell -- an evil spirit, a person who does bad things and causes trouble. The Devil destroys lives and everything that you love. There is also a God who is believed to be the perfect and powerful spirit, who is believed to rule the universe -- a person that has power, strength and also knowledge. This “God” can affect nature and also the lives of people. In the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, However the world proves to be far more complicated than good versus evil. Two of the novel's characters can be connected to the idea of God and Devil, but the reality is that they are far more complicated than that, the idea of the Devil and God does not fit because two of its characters show both ideas

I began walking down the bumpy steps into the warm, soft, calm, waters. Bro.Keith started talking. “What a wonderful day it is to have Bailey come up & ask Jesus into her heart!” “AMEN!!!!” The church said. Bro.Keith starts again. “I have 3 questions i’m going to ask. The first question is for Bailey. Bailey, do you accept Jesus into your heart and soul forever?” I responded with a nod, “Yes!” The second question was also for me, “Bailey, do you know that Jesus is Savior and Lord no matter what?” I responded with another nod, “Yes!” “The last question is for the church. Church, do you accept Bailey to be with the Savior and Lord for eternity? If you want her to be your sister in heaven, say amen.” “AMEN!” I got in the position we had practiced. My hands crossed on my chest like I was dead with 1 of my hands plugging my nose. “By the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, I baptise you as my sister in Heaven now and forever.” Everyone gazed at me. He finished talking and put his hand on my back. He dunked me under the sleeping waters soon to be woken. With my body drenched, everyone started clapping as I walked to the back of the stage.

I watch my sister go first and now it is finally my turn. I walk up the long wooden stairs and appear in front of the church. I lightly step in the cold water and meet my pastor. He asks me, “Kelsie, do you accept God as your savior?” I reply “Yes” and I am dipped into the water. When I emerge I here claps as I walk to the stairs. As I am walking down the stairs back to the room, I slip and tumble down the stairs butt first. The church could not see me due to the wall covering the stairs, but they could hear me. All I can hear is the church laughing; at that moment I knew this is something I will never

I made him a god because I felt really bad about him dying, even though it wasn’t my fault. And with the amount of popularity that guy got, it made it really mean if I didn’t make him a god.”

The god yelled “STOP!!!” and Hercules and Perseus froze and looked at him and the man, finally, Perseus broke the silence and wailed,

The word devil is defined as an evil spirit, a devil, the devil, false God, demon, diabolical person. The word originated from Latin word diabolus . In Hebrew another term used for the word devil is Satan, which means accuser slanderer. The Latin word is from the religious Greek word diabolos, Jewish and Christians use the term Devil and Satan or Lucifer. The devil is depicted as an evil being, that is often pictured obtaining a human form but with a tail and horns. The bible first mentions the devil to be a serpent in the garden of Eden persuading Eve to eat the fruit from forbidden tree knowledge of good and evil in the book of Genesis 3:14; “And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above

Humans seeming are very complex creatures. In reality, they can be broken down into two simple entities. One, being the physical parts of a human, the “animal soul”. This is the body of all beings. It needs food, shelter, money, and resources to support it. The second, is the “godly soul”. It is invisible and represents our spiritual being. While the animal soul needs resources to support it, the godly soul does not require anything. These two sides are typically represented by a devil and an angel on the shoulder due to their conflicted views.

Everyday it is possible to read a newspaper, or turn on TV or radio news and learn about evil going on in our world. Banks are robbed, cars are stolen, violent murders and rapes are committed. Somewhere in the world the aftershock of an earthquake is being felt. Cancer is killing millions of people each year, while other debilitating conditions continue to affect many with no cure to end their suffering. President Bush said that our country is fighting a war against evil. We all agree that evil is real and cannot be ignored; the problem comes when we try and rationalize the concept of God and evil coexisting.

From a young age I have been taught about the Great Controversy between God and Satan. For a long time, it did not make since to me how I could be serving a God that everyone said was loving and pure always doing the right things when He was at war with another being.

A constant thought throughout the history of philosophy, regardless of the philosopher’s school of thought, is the idea of opposition between forces. Every day must have its night, every ocean its land, every up its down, every hero its villain. Taking the last to an extreme brings the “constant battle between good and evil.” When this idea meets culture, we find the appearance of religion with its gods and demons. In American culture, one of the best known examples of these opposite forces within is the Judeo-Christian God and His opposite, the Devil. In this religion, God is the creator of the entire universe, is omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omniscience. He is the cause for all that is good, and offers a perfect afterlife as a reward for doing good. The Devil, in contrast, is an extremely powerful being that is the cause for all that is evil. He is a being that is used to explain why a world created by a god that is supposed to be perfectly good and all powerful would have so much suffering and evil. There are many theories to explain how there can be both evil and a god that is omnibenevolent and omnipotent. One of these theories links the presence of evil to evolution.

The problem of evil is as ancient as humanity itself. Since the dawn of man, thinkers, philosophers, religionists and practically every human being who have suffered at the hands of evil have pondered this enigma, either as a logical-intellectual-philosophical or emotional-religious-existential problem. The preponderance of evil as a reality in human existence, and
