102 FACTS ABOUT THE DEVIL OUTLINE

I thought this was really interesting about the devil, explaining in the outline, what are demons, why are they here and where satan
came from, his evil ways, and all the bad things he does.

Why he got kicked out of heaven and just so much more interesting facts. I did my best to outline it the way I found it. The resource
is at the bottom of the page. I hope and pray you find this useful.

We are all aware of just how evil, deceitful the devil is, some think it’s really cool and are considered “Fools” but the devil will carry you straight to hell with him if you don’t be careful.

I found this “Outline” and wanted to share it with you, for anyone who wishes to know more about his demons, his ways, and let’s you know who creates the evil.
