6.2 THE DEVIL AND SATAN

Sometimes words blíblico original text have been left untranslated. 'Satan' is a variant of the Hebrew word "Satan" is not translated, means 'adversary', while 'devil' is a translation from the Greek word 'diabolos', meaning liar, enemy, or false accuser. 'Satan' has been transferred to the Castilian untranslated just as Armageddon (Revelation 16:16) and Alleluia (Revelation 19:1-6). If we are to believe that Satan or the Devil as a being apart from us, which is responsible for sin, then every time we find these words in the Bible, we believe that dealing with this evil person. The biblical use of these words shows that can be used as common adjectives to describe ordinary people. This fact makes it impossible to reason that the words devil and satan, as used in the Bible refer to a person or being unjust special, independent of us.

the word 'satan' in the Bible

1 Kings 11:14 records that "the Lord stirred up an adversary [the same Hebrew word in another passage was translated as" satan "] to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite." "God also raised by opponent [another Satan] ... to Rezon ... and was an adversary [Satan] of Israel" (1 Kings 11:23,25). This does not mean that God raised a supernatural person or an angel to be a satan / adversary of Solomon, he rose to laymen. Matthew 16:22,23 provides another example: Peter had been trying to dissuade Jesus go to Jerusalem to die on the cross. Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! ... because your mind on the things of God but of men. "So Peter was called Satan. The story is crystal clear and Christ was not talking to an angel or a monster when he uttered these words and he was talking to Peter.

As the word 'satan' just means an adversary, a good person, even God himself can be called 'Satan'. In essence, the word itself is not nothing necessarily sinful. The sinful connotations that has the word 'Satan' is due in part to the fact that our own sinful nature is our greatest 'Satan' or adversary, and also due to speak in the language of the world to refer to something related to sin. God himself can be a satan for us to bring trials into our lives, or stand in the way of a wrong course of action in which we could be engaged. But the fact that God can be called 'Satan' does not mean that he is sinful.

books of Samuel and Chronicles are parallel accounts of the same incidents, as the four Gospels are accounts of the events themselves, but using different language. 2 Samuel 24:1 slogan "incited David Lord ... against them [Israel] "for him to do a census of Israel. The parallel account in 1 Chronicles 21:1 says that" Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David "for him to do a census. In one passage, the instigator is God , on the other is Satan. The only conclusion is that God acted as a 'Satanás'o opponent for David. He did the same tribulations bring Job to his life, so that Job said of God: "With the power of your hand you persecute me "(Job 30:21). He was basically saying that Job was" You're acting like a satan against me. "

THE WORD 'DEVIL' IN THE BIBLE

The word 'devil' is also an ordinary word and not a proper name. However, unlike 'satan' is always used in a bad way. Jesus said, "Did not I chosen you twelve [disciples], and one of you is a devil? He spoke of Judas Iscariot" (John 6:70), which was a mortal man and common. I was not talking about a personal being with horns, or a supposed "spiritual being." Here the word 'devil' simply refers to a wicked man. 1 Timothy 3:11 provides another example. The wives of the elders of the church were to be "slanderous", here is the original Greek word 'diabolos' which is the same word translated in other passages as 'devil'. Also Paul warns Titus that the older believers should not be "slanderous" or "hell" (Titus 2:3). And he said to Timothy (2 Tim. 3:1-3) "In the last days ... men shall be ... slanderers [hell]." This does not mean that humans will become superhuman beings, but will become more wicked. For all that should be absolutely clear that the words 'devil' and 'Satan' does not refer to a fallen angel or a sinful being independent of us. SIN, SATAN AND THE DEVIL The words 'Satan' and 'devil' is used figuratively to describe the natural sinful tendencies within us, of which we speak in the study 6.1. These are our main 'satan' or adversary. Our desires are deceitful (Eph. 4:22) and thus the devil or 'deceiver' is an appropriate way to describe them. They are also embodied, and as such can be called 'the diablo' - our enemy, a slanderer of the truth. This is like our 'man' natural, the devil himself. The connection between the devil and our evil desires, sin within us, is evident in several passages: "So, as the children [we themselves] are partakers of flesh and blood, He [Jesus] likewise shared in the same, to destroy death through [his] who had the power of death, that is, the devil "(Heb. 2:14) . Here the devil is described as responsible for the death. But "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). Therefore, sin and the devil must be parallel. Similarly, James 1: 14 says that our evil desires tempt us, taking us to sin and therefore death, but Hebrews 2:14 says that the devil brings death. The same verse says that Jesus took our nature to destroy the devil . Contrast this with Romans. 8:3: "God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh [ie, in our nature] ... He condemned sin in the flesh ". This shows that the devil and the sinful tendencies that are inborn in human nature, are effectively the same. It is vitally important to understand that Jesus was tempted like us. A misunderstanding of the doctrine of Devil means we can not properly appreciate the nature and work of Jesus. It was only because Jesus took our human nature-the "devil" within him - that we can have hope of salvation (Heb. 2:14-18; 4 : 15). By overcoming the desires of his own nature, Jesus could destroy the devil on the cross (Heb. 2:14). If the devil is a being personal, then there should be no longer. Hebrews 9:26 says that Christ was manifested "by the sacrifice of himself out of the way to sin." Hebrews 12:14 associates this with the statement that through His death, Christ destroyed the devil himself. By His death, Jesus destroyed in perspective, "the body of sin" (Rom. 6:6), ie, human nature with their capacity to sin in our body itself.

"He who commits sin is of the devil" (1 Jn. 3, 8), for sin is the result of yielding to our own evil desires and natural (St. 1:14,15), to which the Bible calls "the devil." "For this purpose the Son God, to destroy the works of the devil "(1 Jn. 3:8). If we are correct in saying that the devil is our evil desires, then the works of our evil desires, ie what results from them, are our sins. This is stated in 1 John 3:5: "He [Jesus] appeared to take away our sins. This confirms that" our sins "and" the devil's work "are the same. Acts 5:3 provides another example of this connection between the devil and our sins. Pedro Amani said: "Why has Satan filled your heart?" Then in verse 4 Peter says: "Why did you put this in your heart?" Designing something wrong within our heart is what Satan MSIM fill our hearts. If we conceive, for example, a plan sinful, then originates within us. Isaiah 59:13 defines lying as "conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words." If a woman conceives a child, it does not exist outside it, comes from within. James 1:14,15 uses the same figure by describing how our passions conceive and produce the sin, which leads to death. Psalm 109:6 a parallel between a sinner and a "satan", "Put on him the wicked and Satan stand at his right hand", ie, with authority over him (compare Ps 110:1).

Personification

However, you can reasonably reply: 'But you speak as if the devil were a person! " That is quite correct; Hebrews 2:14 speaks of "that had the power [power] of death, that is, the devil." Even a brief reading of the Bible shows that often uses personification-talking about an abstract idea like a person. Proverbs 9:1 So that tells of a woman called "wisdom" to build a house, and Proverbs 20:1 compares the wine a mocker, and Rom. 6:23 compared to sin with a payer rewardeth death. This feature is discussed further in Digression 5. Our devil, "diabolos", often represents our evil desires. However, one can not abstract a pellet, the evil desires that are at the heart of a man can not exist separately from a man, so "the devil" has been personified. A sin is often personified as a master (eg, Rom. 5:21, 6:6,17, 7:13,14). It is therefore understandable that the "devil" is also embodies, in view of "the devil" also refers to sin. Similarly, Paul speaks of us as we have two beings, so to speak, within our flesh (Rom. 7:15-21): the man in the flesh, "the devil", struggle with the man's spirit . Nevertheless it is obvious that no two personal beings literal struggling within us. This part of our sinful nature is personified as a "bad" (Matt. 6:13)-the devil of the Bible. The same Greek phrase translated here as "bad" has been translated as the "evil" in 1 Corinthians 5:13, showing that when a person gives in to sin, a downside-that is, itself, becomes a 'bad', or 'devil'. Even in the Old Testament sin was personified as "Belial" (translated as "wicked" in 1 Sam 2:12). It really has been accepted that 'devil' and 'satan' is used to personify the sin, because if we read these words as if they always referred to a literal being then we would have serious contradictions. Thus "the devil" is a lion (1 Peter 5:8), a hunter (2 Tim. 2:26) and a serpent (Rev. 12:9). There can be all these things. What is the devil (and we believe that essentially refers to human sin) is embodied in several ways.

THE 'DEVIL AND SATAN' in a political context

These words "devil" and "satan" are also used to describe the wicked and sinful world order in which we live. A social hierarchies and pseudo-religious policies of the human race can mention them as "the devil." In the New Testament, the devil and satan often refer to political and social power of Jewish and Roman systems. So we read that the devil will put believers in prison (Rev. 2:10), referring to the Roman authorities who imprisoned the faithful. In this same context we read that the church in Pergamum was located where was the seat or throne of Satan - that is, the government instead of a Roman colony in Pergamum, where he also had a group of believers. We can not say that Satan himself, if any, personally had a throne in Pergamum.

individual sin is defined as a transgression against God's law (1 Jn. 3:4). But sin expressed collectively as a political and social force opposed to God is a force more powerful than individual sin, it is this collective power that is sometimes personified as a powerful being called the devil. In this regard, Iran and other Islamic powers have called America "the great Satan"-that is, the great opponent of their cause, in a political and religious. This is how the words 'devil and satan' is often used in the Bible.

In conclusion, it is probably true to say that on this issue than any other, is vital to base our understanding of a balanced view of the whole Bible rather than massive build doctrines on a few verses that contain catch phrases that seem to refer to commonly held beliefs concerning the devil. Study 6:1 and this section will reward careful reading and a new devotee. It is argued that the doctrinal position outlined here is the only manara to have a reasonable understanding of all the passages which refer to the devil and satan. These words can be used as common names or, in some passages refer to the sin that is within our human nature. In the digressions that accompany this study are considered some of the most widely misunderstood passages cited in support of popular ideas.

Those who have trouble accepting our conclusions should ask the following questions: (1) Is it personifies sin? Sure. (2) Is it true that the word 'Satan' can be used simply as an adjective? Yes, indeed. Therefore, what real problem may have to accept that sin is personified as our enemy or Satan? Often the world is personified in the letters and the Gospel of John, what better title for this personification 'satan' or 'the devil'?
