518. Satan's Evil Character.
6Angelic sin is primarily made up of the arrogance
of ambitious pride and lying or untruth.
7The twofold nature of Satans evil.a) Ambition
Pride 1 Tim 36 Ezek 2817 Isa 1412-14
8Comparing the seven abominable sins in Prov
616-19 with the description of Satan in John
844, we see the genesis of mans evil nature.
9John 844,You are of your father the devil
(DIABOLOS - slanderer, accusing falsely),
10... and you want to do the desires (Haughty eyes)
of your father. He was a murderer (shed innocent
blood) from the beginning,
11 and does not stand (feet that run rapidly to
evil) in the truth (lying tongue) because there
is no truth (false witness) in him."
12b) Untruth
13b) Untruth The Pharisees followed in the
footsteps of Satan, John 844, as such they are
his disobedient children.Eph 22 56 Col 36
2 Peter 214
14Satan is the federal head of unregenerated man
because of his lies and deceptions that led to
mans fall.
15Rom 512,Therefore, just as through one man sin
entered into the world, and death through sin,
and so death spread to all men, because all
sinned
16Rom 519, For as through the one mans
disobedience the many were made sinners, even so
through the obedience of the One the many will be
made righteous.
17Compare this to the instructions to God's
children in 1 Peter 114.
181 Peter 114, As obedient children, do not be
conformed to the former lusts which were yours in
your ignorance, 15but like the Holy One who
called you, be holy yourselves also in all your
behavior.
19The apostles were also falling into the cloud of
untruth and pride when bickering about who was
the greatest. Mat 181-4
20Satan's murderous title is a result of seducing
angels and men into sin, which subjected them to
death.
21He subjected Adam and the women unto death in the
Garden.Gen 216-17
22The Hebrew is MOTH TAMUTH which means, "dying you
shall die".
23The Hebrew is MOTH TAMUTH which means, "dying you
shall die". That is, dying spiritually will
lead to your physical death too.
24Satan led them to sin and was the one who brought
death to the human race and is therefore a
murderer because of his lies.
25It was the clouded mind of Cain operating in the
untruth of human approbation that led him to
murder his brother Abel, Gen 41-8 1 John 312-15.
261 John 312, "Not as Cain, who was of the evil
one and slew his brother. And for what reason did
he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his
brothers were righteous.
27 15Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer
and you know that no murderer has eternal life
abiding in him.
28The liar is the one who denies Jesus is the
Christ. As a result his denial leads to eternal
death. 1 John 222-25 John 318, 36 w/ Rev
