Is Satan a cartoon character with red underwear and a pitchfork?
No. Scripture presents Satan not as a cartoon figure with red underwear and a pitchfork, but as a powerful being, the God of this world, who can transform himself into an angel of light and blinds the minds of those who will not believe.
Les explains that many people avoid talking about Satan and picture him as a cartoon character in a little red underwear suit with a pitchfork and horns. But Les insists that is not the Satan of the Bible. The biblical Satan is a powerful being. Paul says he can transform himself into an angel of light, and Les notes Satan is the God of this world who blinds the minds of those who will not believe. He constantly confuses the issues with his seeming light, but it is Satanic. The controversy is not repentance or baptism but belief of the gospel.
