Don’t fear Satan: 1 Chronicles 21:1 & Job 1:5

The best antidote for a nightmare is to turn the lights on. When you screamed in the middle of the night, nothing was more comforting than mother coming in cradling you in her arms. We’ve been living with a 2400 year long nightmare of Satan and devils. It’s time to turn the lights on and dispel the myths that have propped up religious bullies for so long. Satan was a vague Hebrew word meaning Adversary but it didn’t take on a personality until it became The Satan in the Persian period and then happily lapped up by the New Testament writers with heavy Greek mythological influences. How did such a minor character in the Old Testament become a central character in the New Testament, especially in modern Christian churches? Is there evil in the world? Yes. Is there a hierarchy of evil beings tempting and tormenting you? No, they vanish when you flip the lights on.
