I have a point to make.

Satan is the hebrew word for advocate ( in hebrew it's HaSatan, meaning "the advocate"). It is the Jewish belief, I believe, that accept satan as advocate and not devil-- that God has created satan for the specific purpose and role of advocate to humanity. Satan doesn't cause the evil, but he leads us away from God's word, as god has permitted, so that he might test us. Satan tempts us into wrong, he doesn't cause it. At least this is one point of view, and I think it puts a good spin on the traditional "evil" of Satan. Think of satan as a tool used by God, a mutual partnership if you will. God USES Satan to tempt humanity, and satan has the job of advocate (not torturous devil like christians tell you). I guess it could work.
IanCurtisWishlist Reviewed by IanCurtisWishlist on . Did anyone watch the history channel about an hour ago? There was a special on the devil, but there was one part that stuck out to me... They were talking about the book of Job, if you're not familiar with it, it goes like this, Satan makes a wager with God, Satan says that one of his followers, Job, will curse his name if tempted enough. God agrees, but only if Job isn't physically harmed. Satan then takes away all of his material possesions, and he kills Job's family before his own eyes. Job then curses God's name, but asks for forgiveness Rating: 5
