Basically Satan questioned God's right to rule mankind. Since then many men have questioned God's right to rule mankind. Man tries to rule themselves, and look at the results. We have a multitude of corruption, hypocrisy, and evil, all from our leaders no less! With time, this evil world will end up destroying itself, which is what God will step in to stop, after finally proving that Mankind is incapable of ruling itself.
Matthew 24:21,22
"21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short."
This is a stupid conversation. You will never convince a Christian thaT what they believe is wrong because of the amount of blind faith it requires to be Christian.
The third page then goes on to detail the nonsensical retcon most fake Christians that don't actually read or study what they "believe", believe.
The whole Devil is the Serpent thing and Satan is a fallen angel bit are not parts of the bible, they are apart of scripts of dubious dating separate from the bible.
If you have trouble understanding the fact that Christianity is nothing more than a convenient conglomerate of a huge array of different ancient belief systems, ergo reducing to it's credibility to near zero, you probably can be convinced that The Tooth Fairy will return from Fairyland.
In 538 BC the Jews returned from exile to their homeland, now under the rule of the Persians. The Hebrews were heavily influenced by the Persian beliefs, in particular Zoroastrianism, and it is at this time that we see a shift in their beliefs.
Specifically, the adoption of the Persian view of Satan.
The Zoroastrian God, Ahura Mazda, was opposed by the evil entity Angra Mainyu, the Destructive Element. Angra Mainyu (also known as Ahriman) became the ultimate embodiment of evil. He was constantly attempting to destroy the world of truth and to harm men and beasts. In chapter 100 of Book of the Arda Viraf, titled ‘Ahriman’, the narrator saw Angra Mainyu, the “Evil spirit, … whose religion is evil [and] who ever ridiculed and mocked the wicked in hell.” Angra Mainyu lived in a world of darkness with the demons (daevas) as their ruler or leader (Vendidad 19.1, 43-44).
Most noteworthy is Angra Mainyu’s ability to change his appearance to that of a lizard, a snake or an innocent looking youth. So disguised, he wages his war against Ahura Mazda as he attempts to destroy all that is good and to lure man into the world of darkness and destruction.
