សាសនាគ្រីស្ទ
ជាធម្មតា សាតាំងត្រូវបានគេស្គាល់ថាជាសត្វពស់ ដែលបានល្បួងនាងអេវ៉ា ឲ្យហូបផ្លែឈើដែលព្រះបានហាមមិនឲ្យហូប[៣៥] ដូច្នេះសាតាំងតែងតែត្រូវបានពិពណ៌នាថាជាសត្វពស់។ យើងអាចឃើញនូវការយល់ស្របគ្នារបស់គ្រីស្ទាន ចំពោះរឿងរនេះ នៅក្នុងស្នាដៃរបស់ Justin Martyr, ជំពូក ៤៥ និង ៧៩ នៅក្នុងការសន្ទនាជាមួយTrypho, ដែល Justin ប្រដូចសាតាំងនឹងសត្វពស់។[៣៦] ក្រុមជំនុំដើមដំបូងពីមុនៗផ្សេងទៀតក៏បានលើកឡើងអំពីកំណត់សម្គាល់នេះដែរ មានដូចជា Theophilus និង Tertullian។[៣៧]

V. 4]; xi. 14, 23, 25), from which use is developed the concept of a traitor in battle (I Sam. xxix. 4); (2) to an accuser before the judgment-seat (Ps. cix. 6); and (3) to any opponent (II Sam. xix. 23 [A. V. 22]). The word is likewise used to denote an antagonist who puts obstacles in the way, as in Num. xxii. 32, where the angel of God is described as opposing Balaam in the guise of a satan or adversary; so that the concept of Satan as a distinct being was not then known."
