Belial:
The meaning of this word as found in the Scriptures is worthlessness, and hence reckless, lawlessness. The expression "son or man of Belial" must be understood as meaning simply a worthless, lawless fellow. The term as used in 2 Corinthians 6:15 is generally understood as an appellative of Satan, as the personification of all that was bad.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
