You may believe that Satan is only a prosecutor. But let's look at the verse in 1 Peter 5:8 and see that Satan the Devil is called an adversary who is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Does a prosecutor drive so hard like a roaring lion seeking to devour? Your prosecutor model simply does not sound like only a prosecutor when we consider this verse which clearly teaches us that Satan the Adversary is much more than simply a prosecutor? In fact, Rev 12:10 highlights Satan more accurately in light of the prosecutor role, which he does perform IN heaven BEFORE God, falsely accusing Christian day and night.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Revelation 12:10 ...for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

So maybe your word etymology is the only consideration for word meaning, but sometimes that approach fails to take into consideration the CONTEXT of the topic. In proper Biblical analysis - context reigns supreme to word usage, individual words do not stand outside of context, but must be within contextual meaning.

I go only according to Torah so any verses from the Christian Bible have no meaning to me.

The Christian view of Satan has been taken out of context from the Hebrew Scriptures.

Do the research and you will discover that Satan DOES mean prosecutor.

The devil and Hell are pagan ideas,as is the idea that G-d has an adversary of similar powers and authority.
