Literally rotflmao. Having trouble typing ... tears rolling. I guess you liked my little ditty on the Satan.
I typed it with love ... after reading all that crap about the devil over the years (and watching the movie Noah(2014)). If you haven't read the book of Enoch, you should. The canon quotes it. It's on the web, or I could send you a digital copy. Just ask.
And talk to Dancing (RIP - she's no longer with us on LCD) and get the OT Jewish take on the devil. He's not very personified as an independent evil deity there. He's an agent of God, and "the satan” (as he is termed in the OT) is a member of God’s heavenly council.
The devil had to pass thru the ages of the book of Enoch to break free from God to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. Maybe by then he grew up, left home (heaven), and became an independent agent ... to tempt Jesus ... so God wouldn't get the blame for doing it.
