Is Satan evil?

[EGross]

Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life

---

The only hint I can imagine here is that you're going to try and translate it into something less like casting "ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels (Matt 25:41)"

Here is a reasonable answer, since apparently nonne is coming:

Matthew 24:46 relates to a verse 5 lines earlier, which speaks of Satan and his minions and everlasting fire (yes, the greek words for "fire of it's everlasting" is in there). And the last verse speaks of eternal life for the good, and eternal punishment for the evil, and what kind of eternal punishment? That has already been established - fire.

However, it does not speak of this happening all the time, but only at the "end of days" after the "coming of the christ" (25:31), so where these souls go right after death before that time, according to Christian theology, can cannot really be derived from this section of the text. Although it does say that any evil will have eternal punishment, and the earlier verse tells us it will be fire and Satan will be handling that aspect of it, so we can assume that Jeffrey Dahmer, while existing somewhere, will get what he deserves in the end, maybe, but that is apparently not in effect today, based on this text alone.
