Who is the Devil? with Bible scholar Matthew Pearce

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The word Devil appears about 49 times in the New Testament. Its original word, diabolos, means false accuser or slanderer. Satan appears in both Testaments and means adversary, which may refer to either man or God. Job shows that an adversary has no independent power, only what God permits. In the New Testament, ordinary people are called slanderers or false accusers (diabolos). Judas betrayed the Lord after Satan entered his heart, yet he later confessed, “I have sinned and betrayed the innocent,” with no mention of supernatural force. Therefore, we must accept responsibility for our actions and seek God’s way of salvation. Provable Bible Truth - Why watch it? This clear, Scripture-based study helps us see what the Bible really means by “the Devil” and “Satan”, and why that matters for everyday faith and hope. What question does this video answer, and what is the answer? Who is the Devil? Is Satan a supernatural being? From the transcript, we show that Scripture uses “Satan” for an adversary and “devil” (diabolos) for a false accuser or slanderer. These terms are often personifications of evil, not a supernatural fallen being. Sin comes from our own desires; God has given us free will. We are responsible, but in Christ there is wonderful hope.
