Hell issues are too much related to sex as to believe Satan doesn't have any. Think about Lilith, and on the succubus-incubus issue. Also he is many times represented as the Androgene (meaning to have both sexes). In the Tarot the Devil figure is plenty of sex (SM style). Anyhow I understand that Satan or the Devil is a Jewish-Christian mistification of more ancient gods. For example, an intermediate step on those becoming Devil is Pluto-Hades, which does have a spouse: Persephone (Proserpine), the sister of Demeter (Mother Nature) - though they have no descent. The Egyptian equivalent (in Osiriac tradition), Seth, also has a wife: Nephtys, though, again the only descent she has is with Osiris (the "good" god). In ancient west-european (Basque) mythology, the Godess Mari and her mate Sugaar (the Dragon) live under Earth using caves as doors. Firmament is just an empty place through which both travel sometimes. In Middle Age's witchcraft, the "akelarres" used to be plenty of promiscuous sex and drugs. In those mystic parties the symbol of a black he-goat (excuse my English) or "Akerbeltz" was many times prominent. Of course this was inmediately related to Satan and evil by the "good" inquisitors - so now the Devil has goat-shaped horns. But Akerbeltz is known to be a Basque (west European Aboriginal people) god since roman times, when Aquitanian (Basque) tomb-writings cited an "Aherbelts deo" - maybe as a protector of the dead. Akerbeltz is mythologically a symbol of Mari (the Godess) -while the serpent (sugea) represents her companion-. It's very significant that Mari is identified to many red colored animals but in the case of goat it must be black. Relatedly, stone-age paintings in Basque area represent mainly red animals, like bisons or deer, but when those people painted goats they always painted them black. Also the black he-goat has been used until very recent times in rural areas to magically protect the house.

The Devil is an Angel, and in most cases a dark/evil one, according to the Bible translated through the Holy Roman Empire. Did you know that he was the most beautiful and graceful of all angels, and only second to God in the scheme of things according to the Bible? If we look at the Devil from other perspectives, we'll see that he also is portrayed as a serpent, for eg: a snake, or half human/reptilian from. We see this in the Bible too. The devil's often portrayed as the opposite of all good. The Prince of Darkness. Of course, he's not the only fallen/dark angel, there are many more, and according to the Bible, and other scriptures, it's about 1/3 of all angels that fell. (Note: the word "fell" is a word used in churches, and is often called Biblianity. It means many things; thrown-out, expelled, etc. You'll find that the story is the same in many versions according to culture, and religion. In most, if not all pre-Jesus/Christianity depictions of these fallen angels/devils, we find that somewhere along the line the fallen angels, or devils, mated and interbred with human women, because of their beauty. This is shown to us in many ancient text. Most A.D. scripture says this also, but in symbolic ways, hard to understand ways. In the end, if you were an alien race trying to overtake the planet Earth, wouldn't you want, and get, a wife to be by ur side as you steal the land of the Humans? I think he'd have more than one wife.

OK, lots to clear up here: 1) Genesis 6 talks about angels taking daughters of men to wife and them bearing children. 2) Satan, a Hebrew word for accuser, is conceived of VERY differently by the Judaic tradition from the Christian tradition. Judaism is totally monotheistic. Check Isaiah 45 "I am the Lord and there is no other, I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe, I am the Lord, who do all these things." Judaism doesn't have a good god and evil god. Just one. Satan was more of a district attorney, the lead prosecutor. When you died, Satan would make the case to God why you shouldnt go to heaven. The later dualism was totally Christian theology, influenced by various forces, particularly Zoroaster. Mithraism also gave December 25th, Sol Invictus, as the birthday of the sun god, a date that has no biblical support whatsoever. Very important not to confuse these different conceptions. Burton Russell wrote a multi-volume set on the history of the Devil, but there are numerous sources by reputable scholars. 3) There are vastly different portrayls of the Devil, influenced by the culture of the author. Compare Dante's wretch whose fall was a kind of gravity, still intertwined with a teleological metaphysics to that of Milton or Goethe or even Bulgakov. 4) Lilith- the Hebrew word "lilitu" would probably be translated as "screech-owl" but like "nephilim" it is hard to say what the word really means. Hebrew doesn't really have capital letters, so choosing to read it as a proper noun, as opposed to a regular noun, is really just a judgment call. In the middle ages, there seemed to be more concern for witches and demons, and so people appeared to read in a lot about Lilith the mother of all monsters, but AFAIK there haven't been any other ancient texts to support the Lilith idea. Just the word lilitu, printed once in the Old Testament.

<<The later dualism was totally Christian theology, influenced by various forces, particularly Zoroaster. >> There were strong dualistic tendencies in many Jewish sects during the Second Temple Period. This is attested in the Qumran manuscripts ("Dead Sea Scrolls"), apocolyptic literature like Jubilees, and in Enochic traditions preserved in Ethiopia and elsewhere. There was a clear development towards a Satan-like character (called Mastema in Jubilees, and Belial in some Qumran texts), a leader of the forces of darkness, who would be overthrown by God in the coming end times. These traditions did not, for the most part, survive into modern Rabbinic Judaism, but had a strong influence on the development of Christianity. The dualism and apocalypticism of Christianity is very much Jewish in origin.

Oh, and to get back to the original question, in some medieval Jewish traditions, there are expansions on the story of the "sons of God" and "daughters of man" from Genesis 6. In one version (derived from the pre-Christian pseudepigraphal Book of Enoch), the leader of the angelic rebellion, Azazel (or Aza'el or Asa'el seducing a human woman named Na'amah While Azazel is not Satan, per se, the original story was probably influential in the development of the character of Satan in later writing. So you could call Na'amathe wife of Satan, after a fashion. She is considered the "mother of demons" in some medieval traditions. Other versions of this story have another leader of the fallen angels, Shemhazai, trying to seduce a human woman called Istahar. This is particularly interesting, since Istahar seems to be a version of the name of the Babylonian war goddess Ishtar.

Ok, well bible references aside there is an easy answer to this question. Regardless of the Judaistic Vs. Christian views about the duality of God, Satan/Lucifer's primary concern is corruption of the soul. God's creation of mankind was perfect, and Lucifer corrupted that. This continues by his encouraging of free will. Man's greatest sin, indeed the only thing that can lead to sin, is the indulgence of free will, as opposed to the will of God. Which is why premarital sex is now and always will be regarded as a sin. Following this line, most Deistic religions view marriage as a holy union, blessed by God. Most Christian religions even view it as a sacrament - a facet of a person's faith journey. Another reason why premarital sex is a sin. Why would Satan knowingly encourage man to commit his only true sin, and at the same time engage in one of God's holy sacraments? Not likely. I would say Satan is the ultimate playboy, using and abusing any and all but truly connecting to none.

Bulla, I don't see why you are getting so upset by people asking questions about your faith. If the bible is the true word of G-D as most x-tians believe, it should be able to stand up to the questions and tests these people are throwing. Be a good sport and play along, because if they are wrong we will all be roasting in hell together, but I would rather roast in hell then serve a G-D I feel is worse then any x-tian portrayal of the Adversary. Even if I concede and admit that the bible might have had a good message or have been the word of G-D you can not tell me that you believe that it hasn't changed in its centuries of existence. Catholics added and subtracted beliefs whenever they felt necessary. They stole ancient customs holidays and gods and washed them with their x-tain white light. As other people have posted, go online and search for Sol Inviticus or Mithraism. Do a little research on Zoroaster and Akhnatan and their creation of dualistic religions. Look back at the Jews time in Babylon and then read the epic of Gligamesh and see how there was a flood story before the Bible recorded one. Above all, don't back down to my challenge. Take it offensively. Research and prove me wrong. See if you can :)

Well as far as where it says that satan and a 1/3 of the angels were cast out of heaven. In Revelations 12:4 it says "His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth." and Revelations 12:7 "And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." The stars in verse 4 are believed to represent the angels who followed satan and were cast out of heaven with him. And as far as angels marrying... well they are created, but not in God's image. We are considered higher than they because we are created in God's image. Also angels have no need for companionship as they have God and that is a human characteristic. Angels are also considered to be neither male or female but rather spirit or if it must be given a human image, an angel would be an hermaphrodite (having both sex organs). An angels soul purpose is to serve God and to serve & minister to us in service to God

Even though angels don't participate in marriage, I don't believe it says they absolutely cannot marry. Besides that, you are thinking as humans...if you were an angel in God's court would you need to be married?...and as i understand it angels didn't come to Earth to have sex or get married to humans, they "wanted to touch" them. As in tell the idiot barbarians how to make fire, create things, hunt, etc. which God did NOT want. God wanted humans, his special species, to figure things out on their own... thus, anthropologically speaking; we end up with the pre-human species. God was trying to make the species that was smart enough to last on its own. Another thing: Satan doesn't really follow the rules/laws of God, and therefore COULD actually be married...but I don't see much love in that relationship

God is LOVE... Satan was anointed - in heaven, there is no remession of sin because its perfect. So if Satan wanted to overthrow God, that in itself is the reason why he fell to earth, without choice. No place for him in heaven anymore, since he was so jealous of God that he couldn't do what's necessary there: LOVE. Anything less then love is a sin in heaven. SO - we are lucky... very lucky to be here. Since God is perfect, we are not, we look to a PERFECT MAN, Jesus, as a medium of communication to God. Why Jesus? Why was Abraham instructed to kill Isaac? God later called Abraham HIS FRIEND... because he was able to do (although not having to in the end...) what GOD himself would have to do.. kill his own son. And because of that... he was considered to be Gods friend... because he had faith in God and was willing to do what God would have to one day. "will God not give the Holy Spirit to He who asks?" - sounds like a challange. Ask and see.... and be reborn. But you must ask out loud ;)

From gathering sources of the Language of Galachian (not sure if tht spelt correctly) Lucifer does have a Wife Named Lazourus(also might be spelt wrong) they had a child while in heaven while the earth was being created, god created spirits which helped with creating the planet, tht is why God does not make appearnces on Earth, the Spirits which helped him create the planet are down here helping us, anyway while God was busy with creating the planet Lucifer and Lazourus had a child which is against the law, as sex is a sin in heaven, Lucifer was reknowed as gods best man there and got given another chance, lucifer started to create the planet aswell and become infected with the sin Greed and tried to take a part for his own, God clipped his wings but gave him Hell, he is bound there, Adam and Eve were created and Lazourus was the creature which told them to eat from the tree, she went mad with insanity after losing Laucifer, she got clipped aswell and now is bound to hell for eternity with Lucifer, but it does not tell us what happened to their Child, i personally think it is Gabrielle

According to some current day demonologist research and belief. There has been some concern over the fact that the Devil may actually have a wife. It has been shown that perhaps the early Judaic belief was that the Devil had/has a wife by the name of Lilith. There are some who believe that she was a human being, others believe that she was one of the angelic beings who followed the devil down. Remeber that there are a lot of possiblities out there that we as humans don't really know of understand. Who knows, the devil may or may not have a wife? Does it truly matter? If you really wanna know about this kind of thing, it's best that you research yourself instead of asking so many people. You need to research and come to your own Conclusion. (Ha ha, I know I contradicted myself by answering you, lol) And before anyone goes bonkers at me and tries to curse me, yes I am Christian, and yes I believe in God, and yes I do my own research into these things, but I'm NOT a scholar yet.

lets look back on the verse that says "Genesis: 6:1-2, "Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose" (NKJV). 1 Enoch 6:1-2, "In those days, when the children of man had multiplied, it happened that there were born unto them handsome and beautiful daughters. And the angels, the children of heaven, saw them and desired them; and they said one to another, `Come, let us choose wives for ourselves from among the daughters of man and beget us children'" (Isaac Translation). Jubilees 5:1, "And when the children of men began to multiply on the surface of the earth and daughters were born to them, the angels of the LORD saw in a certain year of the jubilee that they were good to look at. And they took wives for themselves from all of those whom they chose"

"In the Bible, it clearly states..." The Bible says lots of things, some if it contradicts other parts. Question is speaking in traditional terms, not asking what a literalist would believe. The devil came to the Judeo tradition through the Babylonians as the personification of an evil force in the world. These ideas are taken from different traditions, as Sugaar states, and perceived differently throughout the world. To put it simply, most would say that the devil has no partner and cares only of his/herself. However, he/she may use others for selfish purposes.

I'd appreciate it if he/she would provide chapter/verse references to support those assertions. I haven't found such concepts in the Bible so far. Much of the "official" Church doctrines about Lucifer/Satan came from the writings of Dante and others, and aren't supported by Biblical texts, AFAIK.

Stacy, Matthew 22:30 is talking about those Jesus raptures up to heaven, i.e. humans. Humans won't marry in heaven, instead, they'll be ...'as the angels of God in heaven.' That question was posed one night at church and the above is what he said. So, I guess, according to that scripture, and what the pastor said about humans not marrying in heaven, I would assume angels don't marry then. I would think Satan wouldn't marry, but, since a lot of sins are sexual in nature, I think he probably has a LOT of mistresses.
