Does the Bible reveal that God created a devil?Will Satan and his demons torture the wicked forever in a burning hell?Christianity asserts these teachings are found in the Bible. The Bible itself, however, reveals something different! The trouble with the whole Devil question is that Christianity's view of "Satan" is more colored by the views of the Essenes and John Milton's Paradise Lost than by any reading of the Bible itself. The Essenes' view of punishment of the ungodly in the eternal fires of hell, a hell run by the chief evil spirit with his angels, is precisely that of Christianity today. However, nowhere in the Bible does it say anything of the sort.
