Do you believe the Devil actually exists and is influencing people to do evil?

Question

"Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil." 1 John 3:8

"Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." - 1 Corinthians 7:5

i actually have physical proof that hell exists and the location of hell actually exists. And even if i told you hardly anyone reading this would believe me. Years ago the deepest mine that was dug was recorded and out of it came strange howling noises. Those who witnessed the event and saw the video said it sounded like demons or fallen angels others said it sounded like wind from beneath the earth's crust at the mantle of the earth. The bible which has a slightly fucked up translation to the word hell said that hell is earth hell is ground. That translation was 90% accurate. Hell is inside the earth inside the ground of the earth. Also people have said that satan rules the earth that earth is satan's kingdom and God cast Lucifer to hell after the great fall and dozens of angels fell with him. Earth has been known as a prison planet. When the earth was covered in snow and in lava before any real form of life took place before the dinosaur era earth used to imprison demons fallen angels any entity that was evil or bad or corrupt. The decendants of cain and even lilly's decendants and possibly judas decendants are all cursed by God and jesus generational curses.

Now i know what you're thinking what about different religions who don't believe in satan or God a lot of religions believe in a god or multiple gods or they believe in God and satan they just go by different names from various religions and depending on the religion those different Gods could be the same God/s from other religions just with different names.

it took me quite a while to piece all that together but if you look up the sounds coming from the largest mine on earth and you google the meaning of the word hell and if you google about the great fall from heaven and google earth is a prison planet or earth being a prison planet you'll see exactly what i saw and you'll be able to make the same connections i did

One possible view.

Devil is an abstraction of all evil intentions and deeds that has awoken to a kind of synergetical self-substantial existence, but is not really a sentient entity like it is portrayed by religious people. It is a non-sentient entity that has impact on what is happening in the world in ways that increase local entropy i. e. create destruction, chaos, death. It is acting via sensitivity of people thought's toward factors that make the train of thought or the quality of thought of people prioritize those variants of development or of manifestation that create higher entropy, and it is acting via immediate effect on causal sequences via increasing probabilities of more destructive events (e. g. perhaps on quantum level, where distribution of probablity governs what the things look like.)

I think so but I do know that most people are selfish. It's in their human nature to be. They have to be to survive really.

Other than that, yeah, like greed, or racism, and any other sort of discrimination though, probably stems from their insecurities and/or making sure that THEY are the ones that come up on top and not you! I've had this happen within different aspects of my life: whether it's job related, or mating and dating related, etc...

I don't believe in the devil that it's written on the bible. But I do believe that some people are evil. They're not influenced by anyone or anything, it's the way they are. By this, I'm not defending them or saying that being evil is normal and ok. I'm just stating a fact.

Wade12345 · Answer

I don't know if there is some "arch-demon" in control of all the others, but I do believe in Demons because i've seen something like that in dreams and visions before, and because I've also seen an Archangel who was armed with a SWORD AND ARMOR. Now why would an angel need a sword and armor unless there was something EVIL that was as powerful as himself?

I think the devil is just another made up entity that allows people to sin and pass the buck. The devil made me do it is BS. It is my opinion that those people who sin or do wrong are solely to blame.

Sour-rose · Answer

Of course I do. But I've also learned without no devil or evil spirit, everyone will walk through a garden of roses without thorns. Without the black of white... everything is just white.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Exists, yes. Influencing people? Maybe a little, but fallen people have no problem being evil all by themselves.
