Lucifer, Beelzebub, Belial, Dark Prince, Wicked, Old Nick, Mephistopheles, Satan… The devil has many names and faces over the years, but who is he? What He Looked Like From its inception, its existence has been a bone of contention within the Christian Church. Does this supreme evil still roam the earth, deceiving, deceiving and corrupting those of small faith?
All religions have devils and demons, evil forces trying to harm us. According to scientists and other secular scholars, these demons and demons are a means of marking unseen and often unjust forces of nature that harm us. But according to many religious figures, there must be a sinister, supernatural presence behind it all.
The word Satan means opponent, and this word appears in both the Old and New Testaments. Since then, Satan has attacked both God and man. He walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
But according to Christian belief, the power of the devil is not unlimited. According to the New Testament, the devil will finally be defeated when Jesus Christ comes the second time and throws Satan into the lake of fire. The devil has been represented by many different images over the centuries. As a snake, as a man, as a beast with horns and tails, as a nightmare with bat wings.
Other images of the devil are far less flattering, but it’s still an image that has stayed with us through the ages and certainly won’t disappear overnight. Witches and werewolves had been a part of our folklore for many centuries before Christianity took an interest in them, but all that changed in the 15th century when the Catholic Church believed that making deals with the devil was a way for witches to gain A means of magical powers. The deal was dubbed the “Deal from Hell.”
