Where did satan come from?

Are you saying that Satan is opposite of GOD.

Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-19; Ephesians 6:12 http://www.allaboutgod.com/story-of-lucifer.htm

He is called the anti-Christ because he is against Christ. Yes he is evil and a lier. He is the father of lies.

Thank you for the link. It answers the question of where Satan came from. So, taking from this we could conclude that he is called the anti-christ because both were created by god - one choosing to be evil, and the other to be on the side of good?

Now that would make sense - the son of satan being the anti-christ.

Satan doesn't have a son. The reason he is called anti-christ is because he is against Jesus Christ.

Actualy he is not even called the Anti-Christ. Anti-Christ is the spirit that denighs that Jesus,"the Word" came in flesh and blood, If one says that Jesus did not come in the flesh then he has a spirit of anti-Christ. The persona who comes at the time of the end has sevral other names, he is called the Assyrian, the Man of Sin, The Great Beast. It is Ha-Shatan (meaning; the Avasary) also called the Devel (meaning; little el or little god) who gives the Beast both his seat (thrown or kingdom) and his power ( could mean the powers of Satan or the power of state) and makes him wage war agaisnt the people of Elohim (God), and he will bring a false prophet to give false phrophicies to deceive many people to follow him to war against both the Jew and Christian. He willhave his Govenorship given to him earthly by ten leaders of ten countries mentioned in Ezkiel, Isaih and in Daniel. But once he gains his power to rule he will send his armies into three countries and over throw them. The remaining 7 countries will let themselves be subjugated by him and give him totlal authority over thier lands and armies. His kingdom is the eighth kingdom but will be a part of the whole of the united kingdoms, this is the seven horns of the beast power. He will rule in a country or kingdom that was once nad was not and reborn again, the kingdom of Babylon, Not from the city of Babylon bot from another city that still exist of anciant Babylon. He will then attack to the west and send his armies to attack Isriel, but will have to return to his own kingdom becouse Gog will attack him from the Northwest of his land, Gog is the kingdom of Magog Rushia or Moscow. A global conflect will result in the use of Noclear weapons and the destruction of the armies of the beast and then the return of the Christ, (The Word of God)

Something else I wanted to add, the Christian "Satan" was the Angel Lucifer, angel of light. Credited as being the most favored by G-d, and the most beautiful of all the Angels. His rebellion on G-d was over man, since man became more favored by G-d than the Angels. So according to Christian tennets, he was jealous and full of pride and started a war in heaven with 1/3 of the angels who followed him. Eventually they were cast out of heaven and condemned to hell as demons. With Satan the leader of course.

Thank you! I am learning a lot in this discussion. Satan as prosecuter I can grasp. And I can totally see the christian church turning him into the evil being he is percieved to be today. It puts him in the place of pointing out our flaws and weaknesses rather than the source of them, but humans are always trying to pass the buck - hmmm.. something to think on there.

As a jew who accepts other religions, especialy christianty, I must say that I liked yor defenition the best.

yahda yahda yahda.

If people really want to know if the Christian God created evil and satan, all they need to do is read scripture because they claim it is the perfect word of God. Let me help: First, we must remember "For OF him and THROUGH him, and TO him, are ALL things: to whome be glory for ever. amen" Rom. 11:36 Notice the Doncordant version of the same scripture: "seeing that out of him and through him and for him is ALL..." God's word, NOT MINE, and if you don't like it, take it up with him. Another example? "NOW the SERPENT was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD GOD had MADE...." Gen. 3:1 Again, I prove with scripture that God made satan. Is satan evil? did god create all things? does that include evil? of course it does and again, scripture supports my statement. Let us look: Isaiah 45:6-7: "......I make peace, AND CREATE EVIL; I the LORD do ALL these things". Again, perfectly clear and iron clad proof that the word of god verifies that he created evil. There are many more examples: Job 1:7 and 2:2 - "and the LORD said unto SATAN, Whence comest thou? Then SATAN answered the LORD, and said, "from going TO and FRO in the earth, and from the walking UP and Down". I find it interesting that Christians will work very hard to avoid discussing the scriptures when those scriptures expose their lies or attempts to lie concerning their belief. Do we need more proof from scripture to support exactly what I have stated? OK..no problem. ISAIAH54:16 - "behold, i have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire and that bring forth an instrument for HIS work, and I hve created the WASTER to DESTROY" Rather powerful support for what i have stated. Here is something that most christians would not like to get out and which also supports that point that ALL MEN WILL be SAVED: "and no marvel; for SATAN himself is transformed INTO an ANGEL OF LIGHT" II cor. 11:14......yes, even satan. why would god do this kind of thing? Because he created it all and is responsible for All and that includes the evil. therefore, he cannot likely justly destroy and torture other for what he has done. rather profound if one actually tries to think about it. peace
