Going back to the Scripture quoted in the OT: Are you saying that Satan is, essentially, God's right-hand man? Because if every time God struck the Israelites with a plague for their rebellion, or struck the Philistines with tumors (because they disrespected the Ark of the Covenant,) or struck down Egypt's firstborn, that was in fact Satan's doing, then you're making Satan akin to the Angel of Death or in fact the Angel of Death himself. You're essentially saying that Satan is an ally of God, that Satan is like God's messenger or something. That would be absurd.
