in Job, Satan encourages or talks God into allowing him to inflict calamities on the man, ..and God agrees.
christians see Satan more as an autonomous force opposed to God , rather than an agent subordinate to Gods will.
Unlike rabbinic jews , kabbalistic Jews like christians really go for the Satan thing and offer a rich and detailed portal of evil, demons ,spirits, etc.
Satan is the symbolic personification of mans resistance or barrier in submitting to divine will.
And the Jews ripped him off from the Zoroastrians.
Seems that many scholars believe that Zoro was born about 650 BC ..... more like likely that Zoro ripped many ideas from Judaism, not the reverse.
