First of all, thank you very much for explaining your reason for reverted my edits. On most wikias I've been to the admin barley leaves an explination. One thing you said that is accurate is Satan did exsist since the begining of the bible as said in Revolations. However, most biblical scolors agree that Satan from Job is a title rather then referring to the Satan from Hell. They know this for a few reason:

1)  Satan from Job is refered to as "the satan" in the original texts.  No one else, including in infamous Satan, is usually refered to as "the____" in the original texts.

2) Satan in Hebrew means means an advisior or accusor.  The perfectly describes the satan from Job but not the Satan from Hell.

3) The Satan from Job is said to be in God's consel (exact name differs on the translation) (Job(1:6)).

To awnser your complaint on how we know if the Bible refers to the advisor the the king of demons, if the "S" is capitalized and the word is not proceeded by a "the" then you are dealing with the evil one. If there is a "the" proceeding it and the "S" is lowercase, then you are dealing with the advisor. Thank you for your time and sorry for the late response.
