...Christianity and Islam? Any verses say that . Thanks .
 
Not at all. His job is basically to point out to G-d the evil actions of man. He doesnt force you to do anything, but rather brings attention to your actions. I suppose the biggest use of it is in the book of Job.
 
Judaism created the talking snake in the Garden of Eden, so YES.
(The first 5 books of the Old Testament are the Torah.)
 
No. In Judaism HaSatan (which literally means "The Accuser") is an angel with a specific job- to act as our accuser in the heavenly court when our deeds are judged. haSatan does nto have any power of his own, nor does he have free wil to act or caus eanything to act- like all angels he is merely a tool utilised for this purpose. If you read Iyov (The book of Job), we see haSatan playing this exact role. he raises the issue of the righteousnous of Iyov, questioning if it is real or not. all the travails and tests that follow afterwards ar eput into action by G-d- HaSatan can merely accuse, not act.
