Satan Is An Evil Entity

On the outset, I must say that this debate has been one of the most unusual debates that I have ever observed and even been part of. Let me explain why: 1. I am debating with an atheist on the moral standards of an entity that atheists lack belief in. 2. Secondly I am going to almost echo everything my opponent has said and show how that will affirm the thesis of this debate. 3. My opponent has already handed the debate to me. So on point 1, I am glad that my opponent is not contesting whether an entity known as Satan exists or not. Therefore we can establish that Satan exists. The next non-issue for both my opponent and I is that we both are referring to Satan as revealed in the Bible. On the second point, let"s look at the key points that my opponent raised. 1. Satan was originally good and was one of the most beautiful angels created by GOD " I agree with my opponent. 2. A universally accepted myth was that Satan became jealous of Adam and wanted to become more powerful than GOD " well I do disagree that Satan"s attempt to be like GOD if not greater was a myth but this very act was his downfall. Pride entered him and this resulted in him falling from grace and being banished from heaven. Hence the saying " pride comes before a fall. This pride led to Satan attempting a coup but his defeat was a no-brainer in that, he took on the omnipotence of GOD. If we follow the bible example carefully, we will see that this fall happened to prior to Adam being created. 3. Evil = profoundly immoral " I agree with this definition but where I disagree is that this does not imply an absolute extreme level of immoral. Profound, while it does signify an extremity, is most definitely not an absolute. However I do accept that Satan is absolutely evil. 4. My opponent argues that while Satan may be evil, he is not really evil. This confuses me in that we need to establish as to whether he is evil or not evil. If my opponent just went a little further and found the definitions for "profound" and "immoral" then my opponent would have no objection to note that corruption is an immoral act. The definition of "morals" is principles of right and wrong. I suggest to my opponent that being right or wrong is decided upon how we are aligned to GOD"s nature and instruction. The reason I offer this suggestion is that we have already established the Bible to be the source/ reference in which we can come to know anything about Satan. It is the Bible that accuses and demonstrates that Satan is evil in that he went against GOD. So therefore, establishing whether Satan is good or evil can only be established by the Bible. My opponent may object and make reference to the Jewish Scriptures. I will accept that too as the point of reference. 5. My opponent"s key focus is that Satan"s downfall was that he was jealous of Adam. I do not think that this is true since Satan"s downfall happened prior to the creation of Adam. Therefore by already being an adversary of GOD, he deceived Adam and Eve. 6. Finally the one admittance from my opponent that Satan is currently evil is exactly what were are debating. Notice the topic "Satan is an evil entity" is stated in the present tense and my opponent concurs with this. Therefore that concludes the debate in my favor.
