Hello out there...
What you guys think about the devil and his deamons
First of all, I believe they are real. Real and dangerous. It seems that so many people do not realize that they are at war - against invisible principalities, against the kingdom of the air. They side with evil because they do not recognize it as their enemy.
Often we may be tempted between two evils, one of which is obviously worse than the other; instead of avoiding them altogether, we tend to accept the lesser sin, because it "looks good" compared to another form of wickedness. This is a very clever tactic from the enemy. While we think we are doing good, we are still sinning.
Satan was once the most beautiful angel, the "morning star"; we are told that he grew selfish and proud and was cast from heaven.
He appears to Eve as a serpent; perhaps even a dragon. The Biblical name for certain angelic beings, "seraphim", literally means "fiery serpent". Isaiah tells us they also have wings. It may be that the form in which Eve saw Satan was not so different than his original shape. Throughout scripture, especially in Revelation, he is given the name serpent, or dragon; literally, a "fabulous dragon", large and terrible.
Satan, or the Devil, or the Accuser, is likened to a roaring lion eager to devour; he is our most powerful foe. He testifies to our guilt in court, and he hates mankind.
Satan often masquerades as an "angel of light"; that is, not only can he appear beautiful, but can convince us that he is God's own voice speaking through an angelic messenger.
Satan knows the scriptures; he knows truth, and can subtly twist it into a believable lie. He feeds on the pride of man and teaches them to doubt, while he himself is deceived.
We are not fighting on the losing side, however, for Christ promises that He will "crush the serpent's head". For a little while the evil one has power, but he must be defeated. In the meantime, Satan is a powerful figure in the world, a "prince of the air", a father of lies.
