scripture has done more damage than atomic bombs nuclear bombs..........

If he's so intelligent why did he go against the most powerful being in existence for clout? :mjlol:

The devil is just a poor man's Dillon Brooks with subterranean real estate. :childplease:
The devil ain't no punk! That's why. He stood ten toes! But remember, everything that you know about him,, was written by his opps. Wait until his book comes out.

Compared to humans, yea


But he wasn't smart enough to overthrow Heaven and see what would happen after the failed attempt

Satan is just the OG crash dummy
This is another thing i never understood. How could any entity even come close to overthrowing the all powerful creator of all things?
Like if Satan played his cards right could he have won?

Like other posters said, he's there to test you like a mob boss is testing his made men. Why else would God give us inheritance to the kingdom of God, if he's going to have the devil torment us on the way there. He wants loyalty and love from the people with that inheritance. God is using him to do his bidding just like he did for Job. If what God promises in the Bible to be true, then he already told you his plan to get rid of the devil and free his people from sin.

And ˹remember, O Prophet,˺ when the disbelievers conspired to capture, kill, or exile you. They planned, but Allah also planned. And Allah is the best of planners.​

I was taught Satan was the top angel before he went rogue. Only third in power to God and Jesus
That's how he was able to get an army of angels to follow him and become demons and why God been having this 3000 yr pissing match with him to begin with.
He wasn't just some random. He was an worthy adversary and if you believe he's the cause alot of bad shyt in the world he's damn good at what he does

Yep . My aunt used to say when we was young,

He was the favored one, the most beautiful(before man)
He was responsible for the praises of the lord, he was over music.
The morning star who took a 1/3 of the stars with him (uncountable), stars meaning angels.

He didn’t like humanity or that God was so invested in us to the point we are made in his image.

:mjgrin: I understand the crash out if that was the case. Imagine your pops bringing home a slow b*stard, gives him all the attention and says he's the best thing he's ever done and that you should bow down and acknowledge it? I'd feel some type of way about that.

The text of Genesis provides two different sources for the name of Issachar. The first derives it from ish sakar, meaning man of hire, in reference to Leah's hire of Jacob's sexual favours for the price of some mandrakes.[6] The second derives it from yesh sakar, meaning there is a reward, in reference to Leah's opinion that the birth of Issachar was a divine reward for giving her handmaid Zilpah to Jacob as a concubine.[7]

Albright notes that the name Issachar finds a rich parallel in the name of a Semitic slave recorded in the Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt derived from the Semitic root ś-k-r "favorable, favor". The causative *Yašaśkir which constitutes the protoform of "Issachar" would mean approximately "May (God) Grant Favor".
:lupe:
The Talmud argues that Issachar's description in the Blessing of Jacob - Issachar is a strong ass lying down between two burdens: and he saw that settled life was good, and the land was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute[12] - is a reference to the religious scholarship of the tribe of Issachar, though scholars feel that it may more simply be a literal interpretation of Issachar's name.[13]

:mjlol::picard:


In the ever-expanding dialectic of theological semiotics, the interplay between the canonical textualities of the Bible and the metaphysical archetype commonly referred to as Satan elicits a hyper-contextualized paradigm of paradoxical cognition. Within this intertextual framework, one must not merely consider the hermeneutical implications of scriptural exegesis, but rather, elevate one's epistemological posture to interrogate the very notion of interpretive intentionality itself.

Satan, not merely as a literalized adversarial construct, but as a polysemous symbol of existential resistance, operates as a discursive cipher—an allegorical placeholder within the psycho-theological matrix. Thus, any engagement with the biblical narrative cannot be divorced from the subdermal strata of prelapsarian mythopoetics and postlapsarian ethical ambiguity, both of which destabilize the linearity of soteriological teleology.

Indeed, to read the Bible in the presence of Satan—or more accurately, within the shadow of the Satanic semiotic—requires an ontological reconfiguration of the sacred-profane dialectic. This liminal tension is neither resolved nor reconciled but instead is recursively refracted through the prism of infinite theological deferral. One might even posit that the Satanic motif is less a presence than a subversion of presence; an echo of divine absences masquerading as moral determinacy.

Consequently, the Bible, when approached through the lens of diabolical inversion, becomes a palimpsest of paradoxes: a sacred codex that both conceals and reveals the ineffable. The Satanic engagement is not one of opposition, per se, but of meta-inversion—an antinomian grammar that questions the grammar of questioning. Herein lies the unresolved aporia: is Satan the antagonist of divine order, or merely its most articulate critic?

Ultimately, the reader is left suspended in a quasi-gnostic state of interpretive vertigo, wherein the pursuit of definitive meaning becomes indistinguishable from the experience of meaninglessness itself. And perhaps that, in its own recursive irony, is the point.

The text is largely about Khu-sobek's life, and is historically important because it records the earliest known Egyptian military campaign in Canaan (or elsewhere in Asia). The text reads "His Majesty proceeded northward to overthrow the Asiatics. His Majesty reached a foreign country of which the name was Sekmem (...) Then Sekmem fell, together with the wretched Retenu", where Sekmem (s-k-m-m) is thought to be Shechem.[4]
