There are many who deny the existence of Satan. They claim that what we call Satan is only a “principle of evil.” That this “evil” is a sort of “malaria, “an intangible thing like disease germs that floats about in the atmosphere and attacks people’s hearts under certain conditions. The existence of Satan cannot be determined by the opinions of men. The only source of information is the Bible. That is the reason why Satan tries to discredit the Word of God. He is not a “principle of evil” he is a-Person. <br> <br>“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the Devil, as a ‘roaring lion, ‘ walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Pet. 5:8. <br> <br>He “walketh, “he “roareth, “he is to be “chained.” Rev. 20:1-3. These could not be said of a “principle of evil.” He has many names or aliases-“Satan, ““Devil, ““Beelzebub, ““Belial, ““Adversary, ““Dragon, ““Serpent.” He is mentioned by one or the other of these names 174 times in the Bible.
