Examples Of Satan Directly Killing People
This is the full list of people that were killed by Satan himself, according to the Old and New Testament books of the Bible.
Job's children, servants, and possibly slaves. Satan thought Job wasn't as good as he looked and when trouble and death came he would renounce his belief so God told him he could test him. God allowed Satan to kill Job's children and servants to test Job in order to see how righteous he was.
That was it, he killed one guy's kids and servants, and even those were on a contract basis so God could test Job. Not so good for the Prince of All Evil. It should be noted here that many theologians don't even identify the Adversary from the Book of Job with Satan - the grammar of the Hebrew lacks the preceding article that would ordinarily identify him as The Adversary - and instead the common view is that the villain of Job is another deity, a holdover from polytheistic times.
And please note that there was only one way that Satan could kill ANY human being: He had to request permission of God. Because (according to the bible) God is the only entity with the power of life and death. Wars, murderers, disasters -- these are all considered to be instruments of God. Yet, for some reason, believers tend to blame wars and murders (and sometimes disasters) on the workings of Satan.
