i never understood why it was called "satanism". Satan means adversary in ancient hebrew, he/they/it isnt/arent evil at all. Satan is not the adversary of God so to speak but instead the adversary of humanity. In Job it says Satan walked with God, this shows that Satan and God have a close relationship. It is my belief and quite a few others that Satan is the 2nd in command below God and that Satan brings forth evidence agaisnt humanities salvation.

Satan is not 2nd in command next to God...satan is much lower. The archangel lucifer is much higher in the hierarchy than satan. Lucifer was much closer to God before he fell. Although he is a fallen angel, he is still very powerful...it would be foolish to think that he is not. Lucifer used to be a Seraphim angel...now, he is not.
One can say that lucifer and satan 'walked' with God before they rebelled and therefore fell.
