The Devil Enters the Picture

Published: Jan. 22, 2023, noon

Speaker: Vince Klassen
\nWe’ve talked about the evolution of the afterlife in the thinking of our spiritual ancestors and we\u2019ve talked about the evolution of Hell. But where does the Devil fit into all of this? Where do the evil characters in this story come from?
\nFor thousands of years our spiritual ancestors asked the question, where does evil come from? Why do bad things happen to good people? At first the answer would have shocked you, it did me. But then they made a profound shift.They added some characters to the story and we started to see the beginnings of a character that would become the Devil, Satan, Lucifer.
\nAnd that’s when our spiritual ancestors made a shift that has profound usefulness in our lives today.
\nCome on out with an open mind to hear the evolution of thought that resulted in one of the most recognized (and editorialized) characters in Christian history.
