I believe “the satan” literally means the accuser.
I think there’s kind of two concurrent perspectives: one of Satan being an evil being, trying to corrupt people away from truth, life and the worship of God; the other of Satan as an accuser and tester, bringing into view and actuality the evil that’s in people’s hearts/lives.
I believe the ‘official’ interpretation would be that there’s elements of both, and the full truth about the satan is more nuanced/profound than we’ve yet understood.
There’s a view that Satan created the earth and is good, God is evil and the bible is a lie.
There’s a view that only Satan is real. God is made up to give people hope when there really isn’t any, either made up by deluded people or Satan himself.
