Where in the world is Satan?

The devil is not sitting in hell watching us on a big screen TV. That's for sure. The devil is on the earth, walking around seeking who he may devour. And it is not the devil alone. For every person on earth I am sure there is at least one of the devil's angels that can aim to corrupt that person. The devil is not omnipresent but he does not need to be. However, God protects us from the snares of the devil.

Done here.
He likes to keep moving.
And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.

(Job 2.2)​
So beware pedestrians.

Greetings! :)

In the Baha'i view, God is One, Supreme, and has no rival or equal!

There is therefore no "devil" out there trying to corrupt us.

And "satan" simply refers to our own lower (animal) nature when we give it control instead of our higher (spiritual) nature.

Best, :)

To Christians or anyone else who thinks Satan is an actual being who was cast down to earth...

Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets?

If so, out of all those other planets in the entire universe, why did God decide to send Satan to earth?

And does that mean evil does not exsist on those other planets?

To play you have to assume for a moment the devil is real. If you don't want to play then don't!

The devil does not appear to be omnipresent according to the bible, as only God has this quality.
The devil was cast down to the Earth so that means he resides here somewhere spiritually.

Now imagine seeking him out and actually finding him. Where would he be, what would he be like (he or she for that matter, no sexism in this topic)? As a spirit force is the devil fast or teleportic?

According to the bible the devil is alive and well here on Earth. I was watching The Exorcist : New Beginning or something like that, and it was based on Satan's actual place of decent, pretty creepy premise, relatively speaking.

Any thoughts?

Satan is simply the invisible and spiritual compilation of all those who stand before God night and day bringing accusations against their brothers. And Yes: He is alive and well here on earth.
