Is Satan, A Servant of God ?...

In Job I:6-8, Satan is the servant of God and does nothing without the permission of God..He appears along with the other "ben Elohim"(sons of God) implying that he is one of the angel-misisters of Yahweh. The Jewish tradition has a very different view of Satan than does orthodox Christianity. Judaism believes Satan works for God and has a job to do, which is to test, prod and thereby bring humans into spiritual maturity...With regard to the human mind, Satan is our evil inclination or the ego..The ego is that which hides the knowledge of our true nature with the illusion of separateness from God...
