Does the devil exist

[Lovedofgod]

I say no what do you say?

[JesusReignsForever]

I say YES he absolutely does.

[apothanein kerdos]

Yes, he does. The Bible makes it quite clear that he does.

[Athanasius]

I say no what do you say?

I say you're wrong

[Borean]

I say he does unfortunately as he is mentioned an awful lot in scriptures.
Sure we can be evil and foolish on our own but this one does not help much. I do not like to give him undue attention but I am sure he is real and ignoring him or his influence is dangerous IMO

He absolutely does. I know because he once had a very tight grasp on me before I came to Christ, and once in Christ he tried to destroy me in whatever way possible. He still attacks to this day. He hates people furiously and wants to see them burn in Hell.

If you really want answers to these questions, the Bible is your source. Satan is mentioned over and over and over and so is the devil, which are the same, just different names!!! So, I would say that he is real!!!!!!

Here's a link for you that can answer most of your questions, just in case you don't have a Bible: www.bible.com

I mean, you may want to check this site out to get a second opinion.

God Bless and I truly hope you would seek the Lord with a sincere heart. Only the Lord knows if you'll be here in the next second, minute, day, month, or whenever...now is the time to make a decision for Christ. What have you got to lose??

In my denomination we say that the devil wants to make us "miserable like unto himself" and all Christians believe he "masquerades as an angel of light" I think the first is pretty indisputable too...
So he would like us not to think he exists.

[TrustGzus]

Why do you think the devil does not exist?

[Lovedofgod]

Why do you think the devil does not exist?

Because the mention many times that we sin not someone else and the words "satan" and "devil" are not names or titles they mean adversary and transducer to say every time it is the same adversary the same transducer is far fetched. And using lucifer has absolute no grounding whatsoever and the supposed war in heaven people love use is chronogically wrong.

Where do you get from scripture that this so called devil is miserable?

I say no what do you say?

You need to show scriptural support for this claim.

Have you read Revelation yet?

Revelation 12:

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Genesis 3:
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
