When Jesus began his ministry, the Devil tried to entice him with three temptations. First, Satan endeavored to pressure Jesus to use his God-given powers in a selfish way to satisfy his own hunger. Then, the Devil dared Jesus to risk his life foolishly and draw attention to himself. Finally, Satan offered Jesus rulership over all the kingdoms of the world in return for one small act of worship. Jesus rebuffed all three clever attacks, each time quoting the Scriptures.
satan won when I was a child by presenting itself to me. It isn't possible for me to not hate King Lizard. Tori sang about us in one of her recent songs http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/toriamos/troubleslament.html People don't know it but satan is the one who sits on a throne, in a realm above the Earth. Real Realm, is what I call it. Don't people wonder about that? What power did / does satan have to make such an offer .. or was the lizard bold faced lying.? I'd say that's some mighty power. Not only is it mighty power, but if true power .. then I'd say it's nearly power on par with Christ because that's some mighty power to offer to THE most powerful person in all existence. It sort of implies that Christ had lack or lesser than. Why should the lizard have any power at all, anyway? I can attest to this much: satan has the power to physically BE. I taunt the shit out of it all the time: dare ya to stand on this Earth, in front of TV cameras for world-wide witnessing of the lizard's existence. You have no idea how badly I want that to happen. Fucking coward, loser! I don't hate satan ... I *loathe* satan.
1 John 5:19 We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. 2 Corinthians 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.
That is in regard to lucifer. lucifer and satan are not two in the same (but people think so). satan is very literally a red lizard. satan is the serpent. Serpentine > reptilian > lizard .. they are the same things. Humans have always known, correctly, that satan is red. The part they get wrong is the horns. satan does not have horns. lucifer is embodied as a human.
Lucifer is his angelic name , when fallen to earth his names becomes Satan.. Michael is the angelic name of Jesus..
That's what people think but it isn't the truth. They're two entirely different beings. It's similar to Christ being the son of God (lucifer is the son of satan). They're not two in the same. I've never heard of Michael being the Angelic name of Christ.
I'm pretty sure Satan called himself offering Jesus the fruits of this world, all it has to offer, etc since (in the bible) it is an undisputed fact that Satan is the prince of this world. So, if only Jesus would just bow to him just onelittletime, Satan was offering it all to Him. It was also a known fact that Jesus's life would involve much sacrifice, suffering, etc...Satan was hoping to "relieve" him of that. Just one of the reasons I find Satan in this story to be interesting is because it reflects his knowledge of Jesus, the bible, etc.
