Who is described by Paul as being transferred into an angel of light?

2 Corinthians 11:14 - And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.[NKJV]


Is the angel Moroni the angel of light?

No, there is no single angle of light. The phrase is most often quoted from 2 Corinthians 11: "Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light." The Apostle Paul was explaining to the Saints in Corinth how difficult it is to distinguish between a true messenger and a false messenger. False messengers (even Satan) can look and sound like true messengers (even angels). Whether or not the angel Moroni was a true angel of light or Satan masquerading as an angel of light or simply a lie is a matter of personal faith.


What did Satan disguise himself as?

"Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14) He pretends to be a protective spirit, when in fact, his intent is wicked. Satan blinds people's minds to the truth about him and to the truth about God. (2 Corinthians 4:4)


Is Satan supposed to look like a giant red demon?

No, that was someone's imagination. No one on earth knows what Satan looks like. Apparently he can change himself to look like what ever he wants. In II Corinthians 11:14 the apostle Paul said, "......For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light." Satan is the great deceiver.


In the Bible It says And no Marvel for even Satan himself will turn into an Angel of Light What does that mean?

This means that Satan makes wrong things appear harmless, or even desirable. He did this when he deceived Eve. So this scripture is saying that Satan is a master of disguise.


Why is the devil called angel of light?

the question itself is highly erratic. Devil is never called the Angel of light. In king James version, it is given in2Corinthans 11:14 as:-"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."To make you understand what does this mean let me tell you the same verse in contemporary English version:2Corinthans 11:14:-"And it is no wonder. Even Satan tries to make himself look like an angel of light."Satan is never or is called Angel of light. The angel of light is the Holy Spirit. Satan could even Impersonate and pretend like Holy spirit.Satan himself (transformed) puts on the fairest appearances or Simply he will disguise as Angel of light. and rest what happens we all know.. He inspires false pastors, Leads a false church, promotes false doctrine etc.. etc..I agree completely with the answer already posted, but I think it requires a little more of explanation.I think is useful , in order to understand the actual meaning of the 2 Corinthian 11.14 , that it appears with an indeterminate article An , instead with a determinate The, what grammatically clearly denote that there is no One only Angel of Light, but there can be many.Angel is a term that in the biblical language means messenger, and there are many mentioned in the scriptures, and since Christ is called in the Preamble of the Gospel of St John as the Lightof the world, all his angels essentially are Angels of Light.I agree that the meaning refers just to the ability of Satan to impersonate whoever he wants, even to an actual angel of light, so it is just a warning to be cautious to accept any messenger that seems to come from God or any messenger that claims to talk in his behalf.Now, from the point of view of Logic, it is also important to note that the fact that Satan can impersonate an Angel of Light does not means that necessarily any Angel of Light is Satan, the implication goes in only one way, it might have an additional if and only if to be a double implication as to have the meaning that the fundamentalists that use this quote pretend to give to it.The name Lucifer, that some extremist sectarians liberally translates as Angel of Light, does not mean absolutely that, its literal and only valid translation is Morning Star.Traditionally in the Bible St Uriel is called the Archangel of Light, so it is clear that if Satan can be using such a title that would clearly puts him under his jurisdiction, all the angels are under the authority of their respective archangel, otherwise this might be a no sense in the celestial army , so this should be a contradiction, therefore, Satan is not actually an Angel of Light.


Is Satan a deity in Christianity?

No he is not. Satan who's name was Lucifer, was once called the angel of light, was an angel who wanted to be more powerful than God. Lucifer was then cast out of Heaven along with about one-third of the angels in Heaven. The word satan is a Hebrew word that means adversary. Since he was now an adversary of God, the name satan was given to him.

Satan disguises himself through deceit and manipulation.

Possibly. It actually means 'Angel of Light', which does not seem evil, but Satan is still referred to as Lucifer and therefore the name relates to Satan, so could be seen as Satanic.
