Christians, please point me to the verses in the bible where Satan is linked with evil?

All I can find is that God is being linked with evil.





See:





And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Samuel 16:23





Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech. Judges 9:23





And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand. 1 Samuel 19:9





I don't see Satan described as evil anywhere. Do you think the Devil is evil because God told you, or because some preacher in a church told you?

Christians, please point me to the verses in the bible where Satan is linked with evil?
It's really interesting isn't it? I can never find any pieces of the Bible that link Satan with evil, and yet God does evil quite often.
Reply:See I Peter 5:8
Reply:I think you have a western view of the word evil, which is an English word.





Have you researched the Hebrew meaning of the term that has been translated "evil"? Are there other translations that render it differently?





If Saul was not in harmony with what God wanted him to do, would it be wrong for God to send a troubling or evil spirit to Saul in order for Saul to get in line with God?





Even the term devil and satan have a western flavor that has been colored by popular culture. We use those terms as personal names for the one that used a serpent to trick Eve.





But they mean slanderer and accuser. Hence anyone who slanders God or accuses Him could be termed a devil or a satan. Let's hope none of us have taken that kind of position in opposition to the Creator of all life.
Reply:If you don't get many answers, please post this again on tomorrow. I think it's a good question.





to answer your question; I don't know of any scriptures that speak of lucifer, the devil, or beelzebub being evil.
Reply:Our Father, deliver us from "evil": Mt 6:13


We are delivered from the "law": Rom 7:6


D-evil = law; which things are an "allegory"





The God you referred to is on "high", in plural "heavens".


The only true God is in heaven: "higher than the heavens".


The only true God denotes a false God to find %26amp; compare.





The only man called "Satan" in Bible is Peter.


He's also told when (not if) thou are converted...





Conversion is for all, not some only.


We all are one. So far one proselyte.





God declared the end from the beginning:


And God said: Let there be LIGHT(ONLY).





The GRACE(ONLY) of our Lord J-%26gt;C with you-%26gt;all. Amen.
Reply:stop it with the religious questions, no one is trying to convert you, it's not our fault your so dumb that you can't look up your own answers (which are obviously there)
Reply:See Job; The Hebrew, as Satan means 'adversary', as in "God said to the adversary" (in Hebrew, Sa'tan) I'm Jewish, but I don't think that affects the answer. I don't believe in the concept of the devil per se, being Jewish, but there is a religious groungwork for that Christion theology.
Reply:Satan became the ruler of this world that functions apart from God, and the prince of the power of the air (John 12:31; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2). He is an accuser (Revelation 12:10), a tempter (Matthew 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 3:5), and a deceiver (Genesis 3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:3). His very name means adversary or “one who opposes.” Another name used for Satan, the devil, means “slanderer.”


Jesus also told us of some of the characteristics of Satan. Christ said he was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him, and that when he speaks he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44).





It is very crucial that Christians realize the reality of Satan in this world and that he prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8).
Reply:Revelation 20


1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.





2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,





3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Reply:Lucifer and Satan are different beings Satan is more like THE Prosecution. and says all the bad things you have ever done.
