Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I ate." Gen 3:13 RSV
Are you suggesting that Satan doesn’t beguile people into sinning? Have you ever sinned?

I am indeed a sinner; however, I am not important enough for Satan to make a special trip to my house every time I sin. Do you believe that Satan is responsible for tempting people in every sin they commit? I do not believe the Bible attribute omnipresence to Satan, do you?

I think he is like a fox (sneaky).
He has two main goals in life in my opinion.

To convince the non-Christian he diesn't exist
To convince the Christian he has to be 'good enough' by his own effort to get to Heaven

Perhaps it isn’t necessary for Satan to tempt us into every sin—perhaps we develop the habit of sinning.

It is wise to walk humbly and not underestimate the enemy, is it not?

I believe Satan wants each one of us to bow down to him. I suspect, towards that end, he spends plenty of time tempting each one of us.

I think Satan’s ultimate goal is to force us all to bow down and worship him.

I kinda figure Satan is a bright entity - how challenging is it to get a bunch of sheep to follow the flock? If he is satisfied leading a bunch of lemmings off a cliff, he must not be up for much of challenge, at all. C'mon, my dog shows more resistance to a treat than the average human does to worshiping the latest gadget. I would think he had more important things to focus on in his plan to undermine God than to worry about us - most of humanity is in the bag.

Have you heard the story of the three pigs? Two of the pigs built flimsy houses and then rushed out to play. The third took his time and built a sturdy house. When the big, bad wolf came, he blew the two flimsy houses down. The first two pigs had to go live in the third pig’s house.

Build a sturdy house.

Satan has had 6000 years to know people inside and out. He knows every trick in the book. He is not stupid. Look how many people he has eating out of his hands. Know your enemy. He has a very big army. Yes God is stronger. But satan is killing people left and right. To pretend satan is not to be concerned about is maybe one good reason he has so much power.

Satan's attributes.....Completely focused on himself; Completely focused on his own edification and the destruction of everything that doesn't contribute to his end goal; the originator of every falsehood; wickedly cunning; perfectly evil; anti-Christ; the most beautiful creature ever created; the Christians mortal enemy.

I don't think he bothers with most of humanity, just the few of us who are real threats. But I do believe he is in charge of spreading evil in the world and delegates just like any boss would. He seems to show special interest in people who are in a position to ruin him, while for most of us it takes much less then the Devil himself to cause us to fall.

I think he constantly tempts everyone.

I don’t know if black magic has anything to do with it, but I believe he constantly tempts us to do things that will destroy relationships.

although i never believed in it, for some reason i think a relation in my family has broken because of this. a few years ago i laugh about such an idea.
but if it is, how can i change that situation or prevent something like that.
