What Does The Devil Look Like? by Jokanem(m): 1:45pm On Mar 03, 2023 |
What Does the Devil Look Like? The Devil is an invisible spirit person, which means that he does not have a physical appearance.—Ephesians 6:11, 12. How does the Bible describe the Devil? The Bible uses a number of analogies regarding the Devil. These help us to understand, not his appearance, but his personality. Some of these analogies include: An angel of light. He pretends to offer something good to try to get people to follow his teachings rather than those of God.—2 Corinthians 11:14. A roaring lion. He fiercely attacks God’s worshippers.—1 Peter 5:8. A great dragon. He is frightful, powerful, and destructive.—Revelation 12:9. Bible verses about the Devil 2 Corinthians 11:14: “Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light.” Meaning: Satan pretends to be good in order to fool people into following his teachings rather than those of God. Ephesians 6:11: “Put on the complete suit of armor from God so that you may be able to stand firm against the crafty acts of the Devil.” Meaning: The Devil schemes to get people to disobey God. James 4:7: “Subject yourselves to God; but oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you.” Meaning: A person can defeat Satan by obeying God rather than the Devil. 1 Peter 5:8: “Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.” Meaning: The Devil hates those who obey God and wants to destroy their friendship with Him. 18 Likes 5 Shares

Always try to understand the etymology of a word before you use them. the word Satan is an arabic word, 'shaitan' meaning the, one who decieves. the words, evil, devil, satan are coinations by those who copied and translated the bible. yes, there are roaming spirits being with ulterior intentions but you are deluded if you belief they have a grand chief called, satan. 25 Likes 1 Share |

Good question. You don’t need to look too far. The rapists, liars, ritualists, greedy thieves and hypocrites in your society are semblance of what of the devil looks like. If you’re waiting for a dude with red cape, horns and a pitchfork to appear in front of you. You might as well go and read Dante’s inferno to get yourself entertained! 64 Likes 8 Shares |

Foolish misinformed Churchgoer! Even Jesus Christ as human in the flesh couldn't see Satan he can only sense Satan's presence through words, thoughts and actions of people around him. Matthew 16:21-23; John 8:44 So who brainwashed you into thinking you can see what Jesus can't see in your sinful flesh? Ken4Christ: 12 Likes 1 Share |

MaxInDHouse: Isaiah 14:12-17. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 THEY THAT SEE THEE shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? Verse 17 affirms the devil formerly called Lucifer can be seen. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Ken4Christ: You always prove to be dogmatic instead of substantiating what you have in mind for others to learn. Most times when people say "now i see" it doesn't literally mean they see something they can point to for others to see in a literal sense rather they make use of explanations as well as illustrations to help their listeners get the sense of what they're saying. So Isaiah said about faithless Jews during the time Christ will walk the planet: Make the heart of this people unreceptive, Make their ears unresponsive, And paste their eyes together, So that they may not see with their eyes And hear with their ears, So that their heart may not understand And they may not turn back and be healed. Isaiah 6:10 For the heart of this people has grown unreceptive, and with their ears they have heard without response, and they have shut their eyes, so that they might never see with their eyes and hear with their ears and get the sense of it with their hearts and turn back and I heal them.’. Matthew 13:15 So my misinformed churchgoer friend God's word wasn't talking about literal seeing rather it means getting the sense of what Christ will teach just as you're always here arguing blindly yet you can't present a group of people practicing what you want to preach as teachings of the Christ! 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Hes beautiful angel according to the book of Ezekiel 28:13, it says. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. -- However, his character and acts after he rebelled are what make him ugly or described by many as ugly. 1 Like |

To the ipob and an average Igbo the devil looks like Tinubu! Now to the Yorubas the devil looks like Chinedu that can't pronounce Èkó Ẹ̀dide like an Omoluabi! Omoluabi no dey do jagidijagan!
