  1. A very good description. From my study, one of the first mentions of a culture inventing an anti-God, having an evil and good God, was the Persians. Zoroaster's original theory was that of an angry and good spirit, but it was the two sides of the same spirit. That also alludes to yin and yang, black and white, good and bad within the whole, or our spirit having a duality of the whole. Somewhere after, it was changed into an evil entity, and surprise, the Persian rulers called their enemies worshipers of this evil entity, for war, and that those who broke their moral law would be punished by this evil God. Of course, the Persians took the Levant, and this belief came there. Judaic scholars think that this was the basis for the book of Enoch (about 200 BC), and if I recall, this belief made its way into the Essene sect. The Pharisees never believed in it, but believed in an afterlife, though the Sadducee never believed in an afterlife nor resurrection. Jesus, and the apostles, came from the Pharisees, and after Jesus' death, they became known as the Nazarene sect, which later became Christians with the Romans. Christianity remained Judaic, for about another 100 years. After that was when the Romans bastardized it, and added Greco-Roman paganism and Persian Zoroastrianism. Also, Paul was an Essene, (though he claimed he wasn't), it is said, and it also may be where this also came from. Greco-Roman mythology had the God, Hades, who was later renamed, Pluton. He was the God of the underworld and wealth. This was also where the Roman Catholic purgatory developed, where Hades, now renamed Satan by the Christian Romans, would punish the wicked. The story of a fallen angel can be found here, where Zeus slayed Typhon, and cast him to Hades. The appearance of a God of the underworld can be found in ancient Mesopotamia, where they had a Goddess of the underworld, who was married to a minor God of war. However, here, nobody was punished with hell fire and eternal damnation. At most, the spirit was shunned by the others, and the sin was lying, as the Goddess kept a book of the liars. Greek mythology most likely came from Mesopotamia, though the Gods were a little different, had different names, and the tales changed. Jewish monotheists, saw that the ancients, such as from Mesopotamia and Canaan, were calling phenomenons of nature Gods, and they saw these as being part of one God, which is the entirety of nature, infinity, or the ALL. Thus, God is both evil and good, and since our soul is a part of Gods, it also has a dual nature. When we die, that part of God, our soul, goes back. One can find this within the Zohar, which explains the metaphor of the Torah. Anyhow, the Roman church played with the text of the Gospels, where they capitalized the Hebrew word, Satan, and deleted the word "the" in front of it in several places. Luke 10:18 is one place, where they claim that it means a fallen angel, but in fact, it is speaking about the people and city of Capernaum falling like lightning from Heaven. In certain scholarly circles, this church trickery is known as the big lie. Satan is a Hebrew word that means adversary, and can be used for those who block or hinder mans progress. Jesus called Peter a satan, and a stumbling block. He was most assuredly not a fallen angel, who punishes sinners with hell fire and brimstone. Here, the word was used correctly, as Peter was arguing with Jesus, and he was impeding what Jesus wanted to do.
