Which representation of the devil do you think is most accurate?

In Greek Mythology they had "Pan". A lute playing half goat, half man the God of music & mischief... sound familiar? 😂😂😂

Control mechanism, a means of gaining power and prestige through fear?

Fun little stories and characters to scare children.

If you book Him, He will come.

Excellent analysis of the satan (adversary) in the Book of Job with the time you have in this video. I'm a religious studies scholar and I ended up in a different area of the field, but started out as a Job scholar. Still, when I teach about the Problem of Evil in Job I always ask my students to think about the title the 'adversary'. Who is the satan the adversary of? God? Humanity? Creation? Evil? Good? etc. The Hebrew and Christian Bibles may 'just' be myths (up for debate of course as is the case with all religious, philosophical, and/or cultural stories), but they were transmitted, written, and preserved by people who care deeply about the meanings and messages.

Any all knowing, all seeing, all powerful being who creates evil IS evil. And that would be god, not Satan.

There is a job called "Job scholar"?

The Stones? Nah, man. The King (of rock-'n'-roll) sussed this out decades ago too (Devil in Disguise) and roughly 5 years before the Rolling Stones released Sympathy for the Devil, to the best of my knowledge. Edit: and later on he was humbled by Johnny down in Georgia.

In the vast expanse of consciousness, God sprawls, a cosmic canvas, Stretching from the abyss of pain… To the zenith of ecstatic joy. An art of contradictions, Woven from threads of light and darkness, Good and evil, love and despair, All intertwined…a kaleidoscope of wonder. In this divine play, we're actors, Playing our parts, both saint and sinner, Satan and God, forever entwined, Dancing in the cosmic ballet of life. No heaven or hell, just the eternal now, Where all is one, and one is all, The boundaries blur, the veil lifts, Revealing the beauty of the infinite. In this embrace of totality, We find our true selves, our highest potential, United with the universe, we shine, we sing, Reflecting the divine, like stars in the cosmic sea...Majestic!

The Bible is just a fairy tale.

THANK YOU for acknowledging the Devil's looks according to some come from paganism.

I would rather not to find out anything about satan. I prefer to concentrate on our Lord Jesus Christ. When you have faith and I will, Lord, you, don’t concern yourself with Satan, even though you are subject to his attack, the closer you get to the Lord. his attacks are meaningless, but he still tries us as humans can easily be manipulated very easily

Both the Abrahamic gods and devils are evil. There is no distinction between the two.

😈👹

Most accurate? That seems strange since it's a mythological construct.

Why use a scene of the late donald sutherland here?

There is a saying that 'The Devil looks after his own' which is more than God does. Maybe the Devils workers have their own Union.

Beware, for even the Devil, goes to church.

John Milton and Isaac Newton, contemporaries, were "anti-Trinitarians", what early Unitarians were called.

The mystery to me is that some people take this fable as real. There were theories in the past that the devil started as a fallen angel

lucifer is a fallen angel God said those in the final generation will set aside sound doctrine for fables. God told Daniel that His book of end times prophecy is sealed until the time of the end, aka the final generation. Didn't stop anyone from writing stories about it though. Stories are fables, these fables are passed down generation to generation and taught as Truth. The people of the final generation believe what was taught to them instead of what God actually said. So, you're right to not believe the fables. God said "woe to those who call a lie Truth and the Truth lies." You won't call the lies Truth, that's good. Just make sure you don't call the Truth a lie. And, no, you've never heard the Truth.
