I certainly do not know the Bible that well. Even what I do know I question it's credibility for my own reasons.
But take into consideration a few things that could be interpreted in an entirely differant way than most people have percieved it.
After all, the Bible is all parables and opens room for many differant interpretations..
The Bible referances to the devil , mamnock, Satan many times. It goes on to tell how HE was cast from heavan and so on. Could you not implemant adversary in place of the devil in context to the Bible? So to say that the Devil is not at all a flaming demon with horns but rather just human nature and the bad will of human concise.
Example: Let mine adversaries(satans) be clothed with shame." (109:29)
And there are hundreds of other examples.
If this were true could the tiltle, God --not be the same?
Always was and always will be. To me someone who had died will always be, whether in presence or not. But in my mind. As God has been to people for hundreds of years.
So the referance of God and Devil may be talking of our conscious and its doings.
