That is why someone said that satan turned into an angel of light at one stage. It always was just an angel of light playing the part of satan for a moment to hold souls on the earth, & then it switched back to being an angel of light & left the person bewildered.
All my life I have met God face to face & been shown what Satan is. Jesus says people can meet Him & The Father God face to face but Christians say it is not possible. It is possible & it has happened to me countless times. But you have to meet God for yourself & start learning from the source. It is worthless for me to try & tell you anything because you have no reason to believe a word I or anyone else say.
Like Jesus says only He has seen God, & yet says that He & God Will Manifest to people on earth in the future. So you can believe that no one had seen God up till that point, but you can also believe that they will see God face to face after that point because Christ said they will. But Christians choose to believe only half of what Christ said. So they are corrupted by their stupidity.
Shortly before His crucifixion, Jesus preached His great prophetic discourse regarding profound events that would occur at the end of the age just prior to His Second Coming. Among those events, He said, would be false prophets and false christs. He warned, “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it’ ” (Matthew 24:23-26, NKJV).
Jesus emphasized that these false christs will perform great signs and miracles and deceive many. Many Christians think that as long as they believe in Jesus, they will be shielded from the deceptions of the last days. However, these will not be crude deceptions that will be easy to identify. Jesus says that the deceptions of these false christs are so carefully planned and so skillfully carried out, that even God’s chosen ones would be deceived—if that were possible. And the only reason it is not possible is if we keep our focus on the real Jesus through study of His Word and through prayer.

Bible says we never die.
What does the Bible say?
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”—Ezekiel 18:4, King James Version.

What I find truly confusing about how the Christian version of eternal paradise pans out is it tends to make our lives here and now seem kind of pointless.
If our memories and identities are wiped what's the point of experiencing the things that led to them.
May as well skip the end if none of now matters in the long run.
How about your wife? If your wife repent before death, then she will keep her marriage's vow. You will reunite with her, and she is as beautiful young virgin as ever.

Satan demands sacrifices. Satan eats souls.

And everyone lives happily ever after. The End
That's very basically how the Christian bible describes it.
Sorry, not even close. Where did you dig up that information?

One of the 100 different versions of the bible. (which all tend to be full of contradictions)
Sorry not about to look around for the specific copy let alone re-read the whole thing just to find that bit to debate some random on the net.
As you seem to be fanboy of the series. maybe you can have a read through and see if you can find it yourself.
Good luck.
