Satan the Devil

We believe that Satan is a spirit being who is the adversary of God and the children of God; Satan has been given dominion over the world for a specific time; Satan has deceived humanity into rejecting God and His law; Satan has ruled by deception with the aid of a host of demons who are rebellious angels, spirit beings who followed Satan in his rebellion (Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 8:12; 2 Timothy 2:26; John 12:31; 16:11; Revelation 12:4,9; 20:1-3,7,10; Leviticus 16:21-22; 2 Corinthians 4:4; 11:14; Ephesians 2:2).

Satan is the adversary of God, as evidenced even in the meaning of his name in both Hebrew and Greek. He opposes God continually at every opportunity. He despises God's plan, particularly that God is working with human beings to add them to His family. Hence, he also detests human beings. He is the deceiver and accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:9-10). He is a murderer and a liar and the father of lying (John 8:44). He is described as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8).
