FBR Episode 48: Satan - The god of Death

Satan is the god of Death. Part of the curse God pronounced on Satan in Genesis 3 was that “dust would be his food”.  We know from earlier in that passage, that “dust” denoted the physical death of men.  Thus Satan was cursed to desire and “hunger” for man’s death, while ALSO desiring man’s worship!  This contradiction in desire resulted in Satan’s insanely twisted love/hate relationship with humanity. He is the god of Death because he wants to destroy us, but since he wants to be like God, he covets our worship and devotion. It also helps explain his post-fall personality and characteristics.  We will explore what all that means in this week’s podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason
