I don't believe in THAT Devil that you posted. But I believe in Lucifer. And I believe that he BECAME Satan.

To be honest, I don't know what to believe about the spirit world anymore. I sure don't believe in hell, though...

Brother Dan - is your view the same as the watchtowers?

No.

Nope, the devil is in the closet along with Santa Clause, the chupacabras and Jehovah.

Somewhat. If you believe the Bible then you HAVE to believe in the Devil. I don't think that every encounter with Satan is metaphorical. There are too many specific occurances. The first 2 chapters of Job, for example, talk about a specific conversation that Satan had with God. To try and spiritualize it is to violate specific rules of hermeneutics.
I don't think he is behind everything bad that happens in the world. I think MOST of the bad that happens is our OWN doing. But I do think that he is a real person and that he is there to tempt us with sin.

Nope. Don't believe.

Can't disagree with that.
But I do think that he is a real person and that he is there to tempt us with sin.
Why does he want to do that?
