What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Hidabroot - Torah & Judaism’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

You have to think Hashem every day that he created Satan and created demons. You thank Hashem for it. Nothing can go into rebellion against God. No angel, none. This all dualistic nonsense. It's very much It The idea that Satan is an independent agent is in the Christian Bible, for sure. Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:4 calls the devil the lord of this world, which is devil the lord of this world, which is highly dualistic and would find itself well at home in Zoroastrianism, a ancient not as ancient as L'havdil uh Moshe Rabbeinu, but it's It's would find itself at home in Zoroastrianism, a dualistic religion of a god of light and darkness. Satan Satan is a blessing from Hakadosh Baruchu. He was created for the purpose He was created for the purpose of casting forth blandishments, seducing men away from God, so that virtue was possible. That's all. If there was no Satan in the world, you have to listen very carefully, you daughter of Hashem. You were created in the image of of God. You should know that. You're holy. You have a neshamah. You have a chelek Elokah mima'al mamash. It means the means the a divine spark resides in you. And therefore, if there was no Satan in the world, I'll talk about demons in a moment. You would never want to sin. Never. It would be stupid. It would be like walking into your kitchen and you see there's a fire. You have a stove. There's a fire. But you would never stick your hand in the fire because why? Can you? Theoretically, you can, of course, but you wouldn't. Why not? Because you understand the consequences.
