Why did God say: Let us give Satan to mankind?

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

Why do you refer to Satan as female?

Because the Orthodox church portrayed her as such.

Orthodox Church ... Michelangelo

Michelangelo's proportions in his later work are a bit odd, he overdrew muscles and this wouldn't be unusual for a late Michelangelo painting of a male figure

It's good to see the continuation of the top-notch religious discussion this board is known for. I've already learned that Michelangelo is the Orthodox Church, and there are so many hours left in this day!

He painted what the church wanted.

Not really

Satan has traditionally described as a male in Jewish and Christian writing from the earliest times, though with innovation in this from time to time. In the late medieval period, iconography of the Fall in the adopted the practice of showing the serpent as appearing to Eve in the form of a woman.

I have seen nothing in the old myths that give Satan a gender at all. I do agree that the perception to most is to see Satan as a male, but that was not the way the ancients thought, from what I have read.

Can you link me up to what you say you have seen of Satan as a male?

Can you give me any source that says that "the ancients" thought of Satan as a female character?

I have spoken about Michelangelo's fall painting.

That is the oldest portrait that I have seen.

Some have said that Satan is portrayed as male but no one has any reference to offer.

This link shows that the ancients thought God to be indescribable or they followed the more ancient teachings of God being androgynous. This link does not say that last but looking at any of the older Eastern Gods show how androgynous most thought God to be.
