lol Satan? Does anybody know where the term Satan actually came from? It references a part of the Bible where Christ encountered a demon who wasn't actually named. And it was this demon who was the one who attempted to tempt Christ to use his powers. Instead, Christ said to it : "Get behind me Shaitan" (meaning "Get behind me enemy", or in plain English, "Leave me alone for you are my enemy") And when the Catholic monks were translating the Bible throughout the centuries, the mistakenly mistranslated the word "Shaiten" for "Satan", thinking that it was the demon's actual name. The reason for this being that Hebrew was (and still is) a very difficult language to translate. Not to mention, Hebrew had to be translated to Greek, then Latin, and finally English. Btw, that goes for the entire old testament and many words of the new testament for they were originally written in Hebrew.
