Is There a Real Devil?

Does Satan the Devil really exist? Is he or she a real spirit being? Or, is he no more than a product of cartoon creators, artists, and Hollywood film makers? And if that’s the case, must we conclude that evil is no more than time and chance and impulses found in the hearts of men. There has always been a fascination with the spirit world. Belief in unseen spirits wreaking havoc on mankind goes back thousands of years. Evil spirits -- ghosts, goblins, and spooks in the night -- were taken as serious threats by the ancients, but are often seen as mere entertainment in our modern world. Yet, even now, belief in real witches, palm readers, and mystics prevails. The tools of their trade include crystal balls, tarot cards, and dreams and visions crafted by an unseen world.
