MaggieOH:
Satan is spirit and he lives in a lot of people already.

I’m curious about that…Satan is not, in my understanding of him, omni-present. He can only be in one place at one time, although he has his minons to perform his bidding around the world.
 
Interesting that you juxtapose these two concepts
.
He knew that the people, especially the Pharisees, Zelotes, etc., would not fully comprehend His revelation of the divine ‘love thy neighbour’ and of the ‘prevent or end the endless circle of reciprocal violence’.
The serpent swallows it’s tail
The pagan symbol for the cusp between one age and another.

cyclic symbol a circle closed, everything stays within the loop.
That is why He, being The Son Of God, chose to show the people His Oral Message (literally) on the Roman Cross. When He was accused by many accusators (‘Satans’ in Aramaic), He Himself said: ‘They have hated me without a cause’
The tail anthropamorphized crushes the head of the serpent.
symbol of stopping the threat of a cycle.
a circle with a path out , the freedom to choose.
The Rosary illustrates the history of salvation by this comparison, it being a circle Adam to Adam and the cross as the serpent attempting to swallow but meeting Christs heel. A heel that was physically nailed to the Cross yet free to crush that serpents head.

Thanks for the stimulating words Pious Redeemer.

Satan is thrown down to earth, so he is spirit that is bound. Notice in the temptation that the last reference to Satan is that he is to return at the ‘appointed’ time. Time is the most sublime element fo the physical realm and the least in the spiritual. Satan being thrown down to earth finds that he bumps his head on the ceiling of time. So his imitation of always was, is, and always will be, is once was, now is not, yet to come. Time can’t be measured untill it’s past so now is not and once was and yet to come.

Satan’s influence is external. He can read humans by external cues much like a hyperdefensive person. Like a lie detector he can read us with uncanny accuracy but cannot read our minds or hearts because hi is not in us.he is in the world. It seems he is in us but that is our perception of reality he is in and then only in as much as truth in our universe(personal perception of reality) is distorted by his ministry of peace. In that distortion the evil spirit’s thought’s and ours become confused and difficult or impossible to distinguish.
 
He was once a beautiful angel. But I think he has been twisted. He probably still sees the beauty he once had, but in reality is as twisted and demonic as his heart. But he is also a shape shifter. The temptor, coming to us as whatever turns us to sin.

But somene mentioned Legend, that’s actually sorta what I was thinking. But it has to be worse than even that.
 
Pious Redeemer:
Well, if we count his number given in Revelations, he is a human being, emperor Nero to be exact. But he’s looooong dead, so don’t worry too much ;).
My friend, Satan is not about maathamatics. Do not think for a moment that he is long dead. He lives among us and torments many souls that walk this earth. To win the battle over evil, we truly must look towards the Heaven and pray to the Holy Spirit and His son Jesus to help strengthin our hearts to be more at peace as the Lord, Jesus had said for us to be.Evil can never overcome evil, but good will truly conquer evil. Have pitty on all the souls that have fallin to evil and pray that others will open their eyes to repentance so they too can live in peace and not hatred. Those of you who have hate in your hearts, you too have fallin to the evil that nurishes Satan. All those who sin no matter how horrifying it may be are not Satan, but are those that have fallin to his will do to the weakness that Satan found within their hearts. Peace to you all and God Bless
 
Yes indeed, I did mean that.
