The many forms of the devil in the Bible

From the most comical of cartoons to the most grotesque of gargoyles, the majority of the population today can immediately recognize an image of the devil. But does our modern conception of Satan have any resemblance to the devil in the Bible? Just who is Satan? Is this horned, red-skinned monster with a pitchfork ruling hell truly the great enemy of God envisioned by the writers of the Biblical texts?

Read Isaiah 10:1-13

Satan is a Spirit not unlike any other Angelic being and wouldn't have horns, bat wings or any of the other anthropomorphic attributes artists have bestowed him with. As humans we sense by what we can see, feel, smell - depictions of Satan looking horrific and evil adds something to be seen to something that's invisible by nature.
