The Battle Between Satan And God

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive the mark of the beast.” So in biblical terms it is either worship God or be forced to take up the mark of the beast and face the wrath of God. Everyone has the choice to follow Christianity or any other religion, but when the time comes for God coming back, He is only coming back for the ones who choose to worship him. If one chooses not to worship Him, they get to stay on the earth and basically live in hell. That person will be forced to take the mark of the beast in order to be able to get any food or help. Then again if they chose to believe in God and worship Him after He has already come and someone finds out, it is instant death for that person. So in the end when time comes to be a Christian and be able to leave this earth with the Lord or stay here and be forced to worship the devil and take the mark, but if a person refuses to worship the devil, they automatically get killed. So they either have the choice to choose God or the devil, but their choice will affect them either

I have heard that Satan has come from heaven but was never really sure. So for my research paper I asked where Satan came from and how he was created. Answers for this question are found in many places in the Bible. Satan was one of the highest angels until was overcome with pride. He was thrown out, and hell was created. Hell was first for Satan but was then opened for everyone when Adam and Eve sinned.

40and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

SATAN: THE HERO OF PARADISE LOST Satan is the enemy of God, to whom God earlier loved. He is considered villain for his rebellion against the Almighty and his actions towards humanity but in the eyes of his companions—Beelzebub and other fallen angels, he was like an idol whom they worshipped, obeyed and respected, whom they projected as their supreme commander and most importantly they considered him their hero. Satan waged a war against God because he opposed the tyranny of God. He opposed and revolted against God not only for his own benefit but for the benefits and rights for the other angels.

Jesus was truly God and truly human. Yet he was tempted by the Satan in the desert. “Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil .and he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “if you are the Son of God, command these

Satan is recorded in the Bible has the power, she can master the human, but the power of the devil is not nothing compared to the power of God. Satan blurry and shaky because of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The devil, in literature, is always a catalyst of change for those who encounter him. He is a force working underground, moving against what is widely considered virtuous and good, and it is contact with him that often changes the course of characters lives, and even the world. In Paradise Lost and a book based on it, The Golden Compass, ‘the devil’, in both cases, is an advocate for moving away from the control of God and the Church. Where the stories differ, is in the author’s intent for these actions. In the former, John Milton uses the devil to display how vanity and pride are the sins that halt us in an opportunity to live blissfully, with and under God. Philip Pullman, in his twist on Paradise Lost, The Golden Compass, claims that

The second temptation the Devil poses is for Jesus to cast Himself down on the ground from a high cliff to prove that He is the son of God. Jesus refuses, reminding Satan that the Scriptures say "do not tempt the Lord your God." The Inquisitor claims that even if man were to have "earthly bread" in abundance, without a "stable conception of the object of life," man would not continue to live, and any who would lead men must captivate their consciences. Only three powers can do this, says the Inquisitor: miracle, mystery, and authority. In the first temptation, Jesus rejected the first power, and now is rejecting the second. The Inquisitor says, "And I ask Thee again... couldst Thou believe for a moment that men, too, could face such a temptation?" Once again, Jesus is refusing to captivate the souls of men by force.

When Jesus started to perform his so called metical’s the current rulers of Jerusalem feared that he might take over so when Rome sized control of Jerusalem they told the Romans that Jesus was guilty of treason.

Presently there remain no facts by any scientist that can prove that God’s word is not the truth. Genesis chapter 1and 2 articulates that God created the universe; this involves the whole earth as well as humans. The Bible states, the earth is God’s and the fullness thereof, and he that dwells in it. In chapter 3 The Long War against God, Henry Morris expresses his worries concerning certain Christians who credit evolutionism in place of God’s method of creation. Morris references Darwin’s transformation of Orthodox to atheists. Darwin changed Christian belief of creationism to a Naturalist’s view of evolution.

Satan’s definitions include the advocate of God, a personification of evil, the fallen angel, a spirit created by God, and also the accuser. People see Satan differently, some know of his existence, others think of him as just a myth, and there are those that just ignore him. John Milton's Paradise Lost tells of Satan's banishment from Heaven and his gain of earth. He and his brigade have plotted war against God and are now doomed to billow in the fiery pits of hell. Satan is a complex character with many different qualities. God is a character who we, as Christians, know about but do not completely understand. We also do not completely understand Satan. Some may think they know Satan but when asked “Is Satan divine?”

Following the standards of classic tragic heroes, Satan is a determined leader with an extreme amount of hubris. He knows that God is the most powerful being and yet he still

Satan has a relationship with his “evil” followers much like a king to his noble subjects (or God to his followers). This is especially evident in lines 436-459, when Satan appears like a commoner until he ascends his throne and is suddenly clad in glory. The hundreds of thousands of demons are all condensed around the capital of Hell, waiting with bated breath for “their great adventurer from the search / of foreign worlds,” “whom they wished beheld, /

While many arguments can be made to defend Satan as the hero of this story, his power clearly declines throughout the poem. In the end, he does not achieve his goal. Satan is “bitter, but also acknowledges the reality of his circumstances” (Smith). We see Satan reach his peak, then his power gently declines by the end of the story. Although Satan is powerful and persevering, he is no match for God. We begin to see more of his flaws. Satan is undoubtedly charismatic and persuasive in his speeches, as well as a powerful military leader, yet he seems to be somewhat hypocritical as well. For example, when we are first introduced to Satan, he tells his followers not to be afraid, yet he is afraid himself. Some might view this as Satan being brave, but this could also be viewed as him being deceptive, which illustrates how he

I read the passage in three different version of the Bible. They were New English Translation (NET), New King James Version (NKJV), and Good News Translation (GNT). A first difference I noticed in the different translations was that in verse 5, in the New English Translation, it says a centurion came to him “asking” for help while the other version said that he “pleaded” and “begged” with Jesus. Also in verse 6, in the Good News Translation, the centurion calls Jesus “Sir” while in the other translations, he calls Jesus “Lord”. The rest of these verses only had minor wording differences.
