Is the Devil a living reality, or is he nothing more than a figment of the imagination? Is the word 'Satan’ merely a synonym for wickedness, or does it stand for a concrete entity? In cultured circles it has become the custom to return a negative answer to these questions, and to flatly deny the existence of the Tempter. Among such people it is regarded as a mark of intellectual superiority to repudiate the personality of the Devil.
By many, Satan is now looked upon as a product of priestcraft, a relic of superstition, the myth of a bygone age.
With others, Satan is simply an abstraction, a mere negation, the opposite of good. 'All the Devil there is, is the devil within you, ’ is the last word of 'modern thought.’ The words which Goethe puts into the mouth of Mephistopholes’I am the Spirit of Negation’is accepted as a good workable definition of the Devil.
He is regarded as a mere abstract principle of evil. As someone has quaintly put it, 'They spell Devil without a 'd’, as they spell God with two 'o’s’. Good and evil is their scheme.’
Totally based on the scriptures. This book presents biblical answers to that subject.
