Answer 1

No, many Christians don't believe in Satan. I believe in Satan but not as the red guy in horns. I don't believe in an eternal fiery h**l.  

Answer 2

Christians agree on many things and all Christians believe in the teachings of Christ.

Not all who claim Christ are Christians.

Do you consider Muslims Christians? They also claim Christ though they don't believe his words.

Answer 3

Christians cant even agree on what Jesus was

Was he the son of God, or God in human form?

Answer 4

Lol, you can't call yourself a Christian, if you don't believe in half the story. It's like I'd call myself a .... well, um a .... Christian!

Answer 5

Apparently you were wrong, I thought all atheists believed in evolution but I found out that was a mistake too.

Answer 6

Any Christian who does ot believe in Satan has been misled or is not actually a Christian at all.

It is amazing how many people believe in Heaven but not h**l and believe in God but not Satan yet the teachings of both are in the bible. We cannot pick and choose the bits we want to believe.

Answer 7

People, people, God says in his word he gives us a free will;however, if you do not want to accept the consequence of your own actions you will be condemn. God also says he will send people strong delusion. People believe in Satan they just do not want to admit it. God is not one that he should lie. Jesus once said if you believe in me believe also in my Father because we both are one.

h**l is real

Heaven is real

Satan is real

God is real

Jesus is real

The Holy Spirit is real

Answer 8

satan is a christian god so they have to believe in him.  without satan christianity could not exist

Answer 9

YEP

its a growing theory!

a movie called Bedazzled exemplifies the current belief from hollywood.

i do believe it has some jewish roots.

but any wicca christian believer will say the same thing. other christians will denounce that wicca can be christian.

I personally believe that fallen angels that existed from the pre-pre-existence are the source of demons and satanic possession(s). however Sorceries and mind control can also make it seem like a person is possessed through post hypnotic suggestions or PURE delusion separation of reality. Something like virtual sleep walking. but if possession is of the former than Satan Does exist.

if possession is of sorceries and mindcontrol, than its possible that satan  is a superstition that is based on mind control alone.

i believe life exists on other worlds in the galaxies and i believe part of the war in heaven also includes worlds that rebelled against God being Surpreme ruler. All of these worlds can be the origins of satanic races and devil beings.

but its just a theory based on a few readings of URANTIA.  

Answer 10

some people say they are something that they are not or just don't understand the message that is being put before them.... this happens in all religion not just christianity.... you've based your question on one persons views!!!! sooooo your assumption that christians don't even know there own religion is not based on solid facts is it?!?!? try and understand what you are talking about before you make silly questions lol  

Answer 11

Oh well, if you don't believe in Satan you are not a real Christian - you ask any fundamentalist.

Answer 12

Hi - Micah here.

Christianity covers hundreds of different religions with different beliefs. We are not all the same and we don't all believe the same things.

Though some Christians might say some others aren't "real" Christians - we're all different. That's how it goes.

Not all Bible stories are meant to be interpreted literally. It would be impossible - there are too many contradictions. But we can learn lessons from the stories and that's why they can be useful.

Mankind created evil and Satan. God is omnipresent - there is no place that God is not, so how can Satan and evil truly exist? They are made up.

My religion is Unity - and yes, I know it pretty well.  

Answer 13

One guy. How can you base a religions beliefs on one guy?

Answer 14

ive never known any who didnt know he is real....DONT generalize.

Answer 15

SATAN?  All this time I had been worshiping SANTA due to a typo!  I guess all those sacrifices were for naught then.

They both wear red and keep the company of subhumans.  Ever wonder why Satan has a pitchfork?  I though it was to feed the reindeer!  Who else could stay warm at the North Pole?

Oh well, at least I know Tooth Ferry will really usher me across the Styx when its time for me to come sail away with him.

Answer 16

That is one of Satan's greatest ploys. If you do not believe he exists you will not protect yourself from him. Pretty sneaky.

Answer 17

Maybe he doesn't know Christianity, but I do.

Satan is real.  For one who claims to accept Christ and believe the Bible is God's Word, not believing in satan is just being in denial.

<><

Answer 18

As a Christian I can say not all Christians believe in Satan, or heaven and h**l, the forbidden fruit.  They're examples used in stories designed to teach and stretched beyond understanding and misinterpreted for thousands of years.

I believe in God and I believe Jesus was here to teach us God's way.

Answer 19

I do believe in satan. I don't give him recognition or glory. As a matter of fact I stomp him beneath my feet where he belongs. I don't even capitalize satan.
