I have struggled with the existence of evil as beginning with the person's free will. But, I also know about the Fallen Angel-- Lucifer. And, I have read about demonic possessions. So, for me. Satan is real and evil is real. I have read about "Satanas" referring to the "evil one"....

The Hebrew says Heyllel. It means brightness, thus its association with Venus, the morning star of the ancients.
