Do you believe satan is a living spiritual entity? A sentient being?
It's actually the reason for my conversion to what I consider "truth" today. The idea of fallen angel theology never sat well with me as the idea of a tainted reward given by God didn't make sense. How can a person be rewarded with immortality and eternity only to have free will to sin perpetually? Anyway, I began to test the Christian belief in this imagined agent of evil, and well, it came up very short.
The study is a rewarding one as it opens up the understanding of many texts, which have been corrupted with these philosophical notions that stem back to ANE times.
We have crossed over a lot of themes already in this thread, so I will resist starting a new topic here.
