Nope.  I would welcome the opportunity to meet with Lucifer.

Everyone is afraid of something - even Heros are usually scared people who do the right things. Most of us learn to live with our fears , if we are afraid of the dark , we could take a light to bed with us, turn off the lights - wait 2 minutes turn it back on and keep doing this till we are familiar with everything . or leave a light on all night.When I was little I was scared of the man who stood in the corner when the lights were turned out and of course when my parents came to look he was always gone.He would come back as soon as they left. My parents left a light on down stairs that showed up through the register - they thought this was enough light but by taking a flashlight to bed I found that the light they turned on for us was actually creating the man - because right next to the register was my fathers coat rack with his good coat, a long one and his good hat sitting on the top.\nOne thing quit listening to or watching things that scare you , people think it is funny to scare others for some reason - probably because they are scared themselves.

Our GOD asks us to obey him through the following of his rules ,to go to paradise and to  avoid the hell,but I want to tell you that there is a few peoples loved God deeply and forgot the fear.The fear comes when the Devil try to prevent one from obey his God and if so the hell is the fate.

Yes, it is. Lucifer is in an active state of hostilities against the entire world. I wouldn't call it a war, simply because God beat the snot out of him when Jesus died on the Cross. Lucifer can never win against God, because God knew before He created the universe that His creation would rebell against Him, so He decided to make Angels and Man much less powerful than He is. The only way Lucifer can win in your life is if you let him. But be wary of the consequences: an eternity in Hell, completely devoid of any and all hope and peace. The only things there are pain, suffering, regrets, and an extremely unquenchable thirst. Choose wisely, for you never know what tomorrow may bring.

I'm not sure how I'm gonna answer this, but here goes.\nLet's see: God created Lucifer (now known as Satan) as His second in command. Lucifer then saw how much better than all the other angels he was and thought to himself, "If I'm so much better than them, why can't I be better than God himself?" No one knows where this thought came from, seeing how God only makes perfect creations. The only logical place that it could have came from is freedom of choice that God gave them when He created the Angels. This freedom also explains why 1/3 of the Angels chose to follow Lucifer in his rebellion against God. After Lucifer and his demons (fallen angels) were cast out of Heaven, God seperated His angels so far away from Lucifer's that the demons know that they can never get back. Lucifer is free to come and go as he pleases in God's throneroom (as evidenced in the first chapter of Job), but he can never return to what he once was. This fact has angered him so much over the millenia that he's esentially declared war on humanity, God's most prized creation. The first battle in this war was waged on the day of Adam and Eve's temptation and fall away from God when Satan successfully decieved them to eat of the tree that God explicitly said not to eat from. The victory was prophesied not even a day later when the Spirit of the Lord walked through the Garden looking for Adam and Eve to felowship with them as He normally did, only to find them hiding from them, dressed in fig leaves. God asked them why they were ashamed of themselves, and then they went through the whole "it's his/her fault" routine, blaming each other for what one did. When the truth finally did come out (not like God didn't already know), God pronounced consequences on humanity (a series of hardships which can be read in Genesis 3), and cursed the serpent (as this was the creature Satan used to decieve Adam and Eve). The curse on the serpent also held hope for the redemption of Mankind, as it fortold of the defeat of Satan through the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The war was over before it begun! \n\nSo, to answer your question: Yes, Satan invented the concept of sin. He then successfully marketed this concept to himself, his demons, and ultimately to humanity. He even tried to get Jesus to sin, but since Jesus is God in the flesh (and God is perfect), he couldn't do it. Jesus was the only man who ever lived here on earth that lead a perfect life, one completely without sinning.

I highly doubt that most people are; they always view Lucifer as a demonic creature (like that in my avatar). Forgetting that he is the master of deception. Satan can be a beautiful woman or a monk for that matter. Satan can be the stray cat that you feed everyday. Lest we forget, satan is a fallen "angel". He knows the scripture "better" than you and that's a fact. One must rely on The Omnipotent for the wisdom to notice the difference and the vigor to overcome. Dominus Vobiscum.\n\nexcellent question.

I was a Christian for many years. I feared many things... death, evil, Hell, God, "backsliding".... all sorts of things.\n\nI am now an atheist and do not believe in ANYTHING supernatural, so by default Hell, gods, demons, etc. hold zero fear for me. Also, I do not think it will be any different for me after I die than it was for me all those years before I was born, and while I do try to avoid death, I do not fear it. I accept it as part of life. If you listen to what Christians pray for, it's pretty obvious they fear a lot more than the wrath of their own god.\n\nAlso, I no longer have Satan or God to blame for my actions in any way. Taking full responsibility for what you do brings self-confidence, and self-confidence is a great way to get rid of fear. When you think you can pray and some powerful buddy will bail you out of trouble, you aren't showing much self-reliance. Not feeling like you can do anything on your own against ultra-powerful entities should make it obvious to the Christians themselves that they naturally have more fear than atheists.\n\nI know many  Christians who use the argument that if I am wrong and there is a god, I will go to Hell. So if they use fear to recruit new Christians and keep them, doesn't it stand to reason they would have more fear?\n\nAdded after reading other responses: Almost every answer from Christians so far shows a fear I overcame... the fear of not being Christian! LOL!

Yes, I believe the Devil is real. But I don't worship him. I worship God. It says in the Bible that Lucifer (the devil) was an angel in heaven. Then he tried to defeat God but it didn't work. So, God sent him to hell. We have temptations because of the devil. He's the one that makes us sin.

Your pastor is irresponsible for telling you that!! In fact I would go so far to say that his own 'satanic' ego said that to you, certainly and most definitely NOT God or Jesus!! (there is no power except God's --- 'satan' is the human ego which worships itself, but it has no true power and it is MORTAL, not eternal. Geez Christian literalists create an all powerful God out of Satan. Perfect Love casts out all fear. As long as you truly know this, and you will when you ask to receive the Holy Spirit directly, you will fear NOTHING. YOUR fear is the only thing that gives 'satan' power to 'act' in the world through you)\n\nGod is Love and perfect Love casts out all fear. Was your pastor aligned in the Love of God in telling you that, or the fear of the lower nature, which is based in luciferian principles? Jesus warned of the false prophets. These are the ones that create a 'god' of their own liking, a 'god' that controls the people by scaring them into believing. This is what CULTS do. It is a brainwashing tecqnique. If your church is scaring you, then get away as fast as you can, because that is NOT FROM GOD!!! \n\nThere is no such thing as luck. See every bad experience as an opportunity for learning. If you listen inside you will hear what God wants you to learn. When we don't listen, the same experience will come over and over till we 'get it.'You do not need anyone between you and God!! God wants a direct relationship with you. Ask for Light and know that you will receive it.\n\nBlessings to you and your family. May you receive God's Light and Love directly into your heart, to cast out all your fear. God Loves you and wants you at peace!!

For some reason certain religions need a figure which can invoke fear in it's followers. Some religions believe that it's better for their followers to fear the punishment than to understand why something is wrong. \nSatan was invented for the same reason that wives tales about "beasts" in the forest were, to scare their children into not doing what their parents didn't want them to.

Wow, no offense but Satans got you right where he wants you. Satan is the father of lies, the prince of darkness, he's ready to kill and devour anything God will let him. Hell was created by God for the devil and his angels, not for people. Unfortunately some people end up there because they refuse God's forgiveness. Satans going to try and make himself appear harmless and when you least expect it he'll crush you and destroy your life. And half the time you won't even know it was him! He's that clever. Pray to Almighty God that Satan will not annihilate you.

He is believed to been an "angel" by some Jews and Christians.  However, this "angel's" name appears nowhere in the Old Testament or the New Testament; he is mentioned in the Talmud, a collection of non-inspired Jewish writings.  Those who believe in him understand him to be a "lesser Jehovah."  \n\nBest to stay away.  He sounds like Lucifer to me.

If you are already having negative feelings about it then I would suggest you do some research. It is almost impossible to accomplish if you fear it. You will defeat your own efforts. There is nothing evil or devilish about it. God gave us these abilities so that we could connect.\nlove n light\nsharon
