Existence of the Devil



The occurrence or existence of the devil has origins that are not very clear and that transcend a lot more before human beings created by God as “Adam and Eve” trod the earth for the first time. Satan represents all or many of the names given in the beginning was the same as God's creation of an angel, a right hand that he wanted to ascend to the same level as God himself, for which he was banished from heaven, deleted to ashes and confined to hell. At first they put in place religions "modern" the devil and the gods were not unique characters, but rather there were many evil characters, such as those in charge of ending crops, cause flooding or induce people to commit murder, were also their divine counterparts also only had certain powers conferred and produced only certain events.

Over the years, and the evolution of different religions begin to change the concept of many gods and unifies in a single deity who is all powerful and unique, while in parallel the same with Satan.
Over the years and the emergence of more technology in the Middle Ages the church begins to lose the totalitarian power that had about disease-related information, demons and witchcraft, and opens the way for scientists with accurate information about how things work. This dealt a blow to the church and the Devil begins to lose its power of suggestion on people and passes the background. This event later in the century leads us to wonder if it is that the devil was exaggerated in the way that shaped the church for those years to ensure an even stronger power on the mass because of fear felt by this "being" .

Many references are made to believe in God but deny the existence of Satan or Devil, incredibly in most cultures and religions there is an embodiment of both good and evil, or at least not a physical being but something that affects decisions as to human behavior, in some cultures the evil spirits possessing the mind and body of persons, in other tested simply human beings with a series of temptations and leaving-will their actions to these and other a mixture of earlier. But there are always those who say that evil human being is born, or born with the human being, and that is the simple absence of God in some people, or that self-conscious decision and decides whether good or poor and others who simply adhere to the laws of man on earth.

Humans have very poor range of what is reality, Thomas Alva Edison said that we know just "a really small part of nothing", and seems very true today more than ever, and that paradoxically the more we know and scientific and technological advances seems evident that more is more what we need to know. Discard ideas that still do not understand or they did not even, know the misery of knowledge which we would be crazy, who dismisses the existence of Satan, based on current data is as one who knows only the garden of his home, denied there are elephants because never in his long life has seen an elephant if you want to leave his mark in his garden. It is naive to deny something just because it looks, it would be like denying that there are infrared rays, radio waves and other things imperceptible to our senses but they are there, and like the above should be many more who have not discovered. Modern science has allowed us to discover that the reality is much more than what our senses perceive that there are "invisible beings" and "made invisible" to our limited field of perception then how can we deny Satan just because we do not perceive it?

Satan wanted to get away to himself as it is to be more vengeful, greedy and arrogant of all time, if you could compare with something human would like kamikazes. Remember those Japanese airmen in World War II were thrown to for all his plane into U.S. ships? They did not care kill themselves in order to cause harm to the hated Americans. For the devil is similar. For several centuries, so that men forget God, the Devil is willing to accept that men forget it. For this to wipe your enemy, Satan is willing to delete itself as reality, but why? The answer is obvious, he is the living proof that God exists, if at night, there on the day.

A non-Christian definition of the concept of Lucifer speaks of the evil that man is not equivalent to the evil of the whole universe, so it must have a source beyond the hearts of men, is a world where there terrible diseases, earthquakes, hurricanes, strange and fatal accidents, hunger, fear, stress, laziness etc. No mercy for the weak, old or young. In a strange but striking thesis Burton Russell has been suggested that human tragedies are not entirely attributable to human evil but exceeds the limits of understanding and revenge of a group of people, as the facts of the Second World War Hiroshima bomb, or the massive genocide of Auschwitz by the Nazis. According to Russell the evil of this character beyond human imagination and make it a reality, all attributed to an unknown cosmic entity called the devil or Satan.

To some skeptics Samael (the devil), just a bad metaphor, a personification of inanimate and abstract is just a creation of the folklore of peoples, some say it is as unreal as the bogeyman to frighten children in their cabinet, however, there is no scientific evidence or spiritual or can deny its existence or prove it, say it is only a representation of a human idea, a symbol.

But why is Satan just a symbol or a reality? According to the French theologian Laurentin both are true, does not any reality is also a symbol? Did not Jesus is both symbol and reality? "Hitler is not so much a symbol as reality? He says that language is symbolic does not mean that is not true. The Devil is a mysterious and invisible reality that can only be represented by symbols. Can you believe in light and deny the dark? "We can say that white and black there is not? That heat and cold occurs only lack thereof? Never missing who thinks he or she is ready and try to answer these questions. As there is total darkness, only minor amounts of light, to which we say, although there is the minimum amount of light is only a matter of time before tripping. The black does not exist is when a material absorbs entire spectrum of light and reflects nothing, Can anyone see something that does not exist? "We can feel something like the cold if it is only the absence of heat? Will it ever be one for being the absence of the other? Well, we say "But perhaps I've been to hell? If anyone can understand what god and therefore perceived evil is, we can say that he felt his life.

There are several works somewhat frightening connotations, referring to pacts with the devil (Lucifer Rofocal specifically), this book called The Grand Grimoire is a series of long scoring guidelines and clauses in two ways to sell the soul to this body in exchange for earthly benefits and trick when seeking to claim their share of the deal. At the end of the day, an eternity of unspeakable torment, in exchange for a few years of material benefits, not a good business for anyone. I mean, this guy who wrote this manuscript meant to trick the Devil, and I wonder how many of you reading this essay would dare to perform this ritual. perhaps many in their ignorance or their " superknowledge" and there is no assurance that such a being to drive out but what sense would take place without it? And if you believe in God and the Devil did you still do it? Why not? because they fear something or someone that does not exist according to the person.
