Put simply, the Bible defines Satan as an angelic being who fell from his position in heaven due to sin and is now completely opposed to God, doing all in his power to thwart God's purposes.
Lakini kwa uchache, Bibilia inamfafanua Shetani kama malaika aliyeanguka kutoka kwa nafasi yake mbinguni kwa sababu ya dhambi na sasa anampinga Mungu, akifanya juhudi zake ili ageuze mapenzi ya Mungu.
