Christian Teaching About The Devil
In mainstream Christianity, the Devil is a fallen angel who rebelled against God. The Devil is often identified as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, whose persuasions led to the two corresponding Christian doctrines: the Original Sin and its cure, the Redemption of Jesus Christ. He is also identified as the Accuser of Job, the tempter of the Gospels, Leviathan and the dragon in the Book of Revelation.

None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.”

To rid me of the devil in my shoes,”
