Origin of Satan
Spiritual WarfareSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg challenges common assumptions about the origin of Satan. Gregg argues that there is no biblical basis for the belief that Satan was once an angel, and that biblical passages often used to support such beliefs are actually referring to other figures or using symbolic language. He suggests that while God allowed Satan to exist and cause harm, this was part of a larger plan and testing process for humanity. Ultimately, Gregg emphasizes the importance of being aware of the varying interpretations of biblical passages and not assuming that commonly held beliefs are necessarily true.
