The Devil
In cartoons and comics, the devil appears on the opposite side of the good angel who pressures you to do the right thing, he poses as a cute, high tempered little demon who pressures you to do something that's fun or a bad decision . Satan is nothing but cute.
In reality, who is the devil? The devil was created by God, originally as a good angel named
Lucifer, but he rebelled against God and became a fallen angel and was casted in hell. Not only is he the enemy of God, but of us humans and his goal is to destroy, enslave, and deceive us. The devil’s power is incomparable as God’s is almighty and powerful. He twists and distorts what is true, and there is power in his lies. The devil represents a cultural fear as people

How would the devil deceive humans?
Obviously by sin, but by things society sometimes views as “normal”; like sex, drugs, drinking, pretty much anything with gluttony and lust. The devil makes these things appealing and attractive to humans, so they can get stuck in his trap. Unfortunately, sometimes we get caught and fall in the devil’s trap and turn away from God. The devil in many religions, myths and cultures claim him to be a supernatural entity that is the Personification of evil and the archenemy of God and humankind. The devil is the symbol and root of all evil, and is the master of temptation and lies. From a religious view, he is the big scary “monster”, that everyone fears. Religious people fear the devil, because they fear the afterlife and going to hell where the devil is, or the devil taking your soul. Also, these people fear the devil because they do not want to fall into sin. The devil is seen as an allegory that represents free will, wisdom, and crisis of faith. Another fear that one may have of the devil is being possessed by a demon. That is probably people’s ultimate fear. A demonic possession is a common belief held by

Yes the devil represents and symbolizes evil and is the master of temptation and lies, but the devil represents and symbolizes us humans as well. As Stephen T. Asma wrote, “Monsters can stand as symbols of human vulnerability and crisis, and as such they play imaginative foils for thinking about our own responses to menace.” This has some truth to the quote as we sometimes use these idioms, “You scared the hell out of me” or “Speaking of the devil”, as they too have some truth to the sayings. We all have some evil in us and have done some evil things, which come from the devil. The devil also represents us, as we sin it pulls us away from God and we disobey him, like the devil did when he disobeyed God and was casted in hell. The devil represents a cultural fear because it is taught from a religious point of view that he is the “evil one” or “bad guy”. For many hundreds of years, the devil has been a manifestation of society’s fears and anxieties. From a religious stand, people were taught it was very bad to sin, and sinning comes from the devil. These people were also taught that the devil just wants to take your soul and cast in hell. In total, the devil wants to lie and deceive
the Black Devils. They were an elite force of American and Canadians that did missions during the Nazi era. The Black Devils laid the foundation for the modern day, like setting fear into Nazis and putting dangerous people into jail. Also, they were named the Devils Brigade by Nazis due to their blacked out faces, along with serving for 68 years in the United States and Canada.

convictions. Those who held the doctrine of the Nicolaitans were compromisers. In order to get along with the world, they lowered the standard of Christianity; however, the Lord said, “…which thing I hate.” (Revelation 2:12-17) A classic example of the devil using compromise can be observed in the offers made by the Pharaoh to Moses. (Exodus 8:25-10:26) Among the requirements God made relative to the removal of His people from Egyptian Bondage were: (1) To separate from [leave] Egypt; (2) To be separated
