The Bible is a book of Father God's grace and mercy toward man. That man, though born on this earth with a sinful nature, has the privilege of being redeemed back into God's glory and power. We now live in the last days of Emmanuel! God with us! Or better to say it this way; Christ in us, the hope of glory!
Jesus said, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me."
If hell, fire and brimstone is preached to unbelievers, you will get converts, but it had nothing to do with Holy Spirit drawing people. A hellfire type of preaching scares the crap out of people and does not present the tender-loving mercy of God, that is always sure. Therefore, to teach and preach on hell and the devil is a false doctrine that is of men, not the Son of God and His desire towards men.
If your own child does bad (against your set codes of conduct) do you hammer at the kid about how screwed up they are while destroying their soul in the process, or do you give right council (and possible punishment) and lovingly restore them anew?
God is a good good Father. Not a theologically practicing idiot. Christ is hidden throughout the Old Covenant and revealed in His glory in the New Covenant.
Satan is never revealed, nor glorified. He is only spoken of as the Adversary, whom now is beneath the feet of our Lord Jesus. Satan has been defeated. I recommend you leave the 'now powerless devil' where he was put, and just listen to the Truth that is the Spirit of Christ Jesus living in you and through you.
