First of all, you need to know that ‘SATAN’ is not the name of a biblical personality, but a word that was deliberately left untranslated.

SATAN, correctly translated, means ‘the adversary’ or ‘the enemy’, as well as ‘the opposing party’.

In the book of Job it becomes clear who Satan really is.

The 6th sentence in the first chapter of the book of Job looks like this in 5 different translations:

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

6 Now it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

6 Now the day came when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord – and Satan also arrived among them.

6 But the day came when the Sons of God went in to stand in attendance on Jahvah; and the Satan too went in among them.

6 Now on a certain day, when the sons of God came to stand before the Lord, Satan also was present among them.

Now allow us to translate the word ‘SATAN’ and put it in the right place:

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and the Opponent came also among them.

6 Now it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and the Opponent came also among them.

6 Now the day came when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord – and the Opponent also arrived among them.

6 But the day came when the Sons of God went in to stand in attendance on Jahvah; and the the Opponent too went in among them.

6 Now on a certain day, when the sons of God came to stand before the Lord, the Opponent also was present among them.

From this you can see that Satan would probably have to be a child of God. Just like Jesus Christ. But unlike Jesus, he clearly opposes the doctrine of his father. It is very easy to understand when you read in the Bible how often entire cities were wiped out and hundreds of thousands of women and children were slaughtered in the name of the Lord.

In this point, too, it looks as if the children of God (Jesus and Satan) were far better than their father.

With regard to the mass murders perpetrated by the Lord (Jericho, Ai, Gomorrah, Jerusalem and others), we must also ask ourselves:

Who is the good guy and who is the bad guy of the Bible?
