What of the
purported
“fallen angel”
Satan,
also known as the devil?
Since the term
“Satan”
literally means
opponent or adversary,
could it not then be said
that in all circumstances
in which there are
conflicting parties
the adverse parties
are relatively satanic
to each other?
During the days of the inquisition
the Catholic church
was adept at demonizing,
torturing
and murdering
their adversaries,
accusing them of being
agents of Satan.
The leaders of Israel
were also adept
at demonizing,
torturing
and murdering
those who challenged
their leadership.
The Israeli hierarchy
accused Yahshua of being
an agent of Satan.
Yahshua turned the accusation
against the leaders of Israel
who opposed him,
calling them sons of Satan.
Yahshua considered
His apostle Judas
To be a devil.
Is it possible that
There is no literal devil;
no fallen angel
named Satan?
Is it possible that
Satan is merely the spirit
in which someone
is operating
when they
take or hold
an opposing position?
Someone will, no doubt, object,
dismissing this idea
as pure nonsense;
but I say
it is entirely possible,
even probable
that this is true.
Taking this position
makes me Satan,
in a relative sense,
to status quo religion,
and because few, if any,
want to be accused of this,
few, if any, are willing stand here,
to consider the possibility.
He that answereth a matter
before he heareth it,
it is folly and shame unto him.
Proverbs 18:13
