Satan, a person or a personification?

[Bowsixtysix]

IMO, satan is a literal being who Stands in opposition to God = Tetragrammaton. However I also believe that the scriptures personify mans own evils as satan also.

@Origen

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

2nd Cor 4.4

There were indeed Jewish believers in Corinth & Paul later on mentions two Jewish leaders but every study bible I looked at KJV,NKJV,Reformation & Holman all describe Satan as being “the god of this world” in 2nd Cor 4.4.

Asserting most converts in churches built by Paul the evangelist focused on reaching Gentiles were not Gentile calls for clear evidence.

The early church among whom many a Gentile came to find Christ, was inherently Hebraic…. I trust this textual evidence to my point is clear enough.

If you mean by ‘Hebraic’ (contra Paidion) that most of the early converts in Paul’s churches were not Gentiles, I’m not seeing how your offered texts make that clear. It is plain that some key converts were Jewish, such that your Acts 18 reference to Aquila relevantly confirms that. But I’m not seeing how the other texts you cite verifies at all the makeup of Paul’s churches. I see focus on converting Gentiles.
