In other words the one(Satan/Devil) who can plan things only according to or with God.Without God Satan him/it self cant exist.
Take all examples from Bible.God allows all temptations to human.If he truly wants to avoid that he should have given human some extra power.Isn't it??Case of Adam and eve,Judas' case all support this theory

  God does not make us tempt ourselves, we has humans make our own choices. We know right from wrong and as for Satan he was a fallen angel of God so without God he would not exist;therefore since I believe in God he does exist.

  I've read the Bible since as a child and what I've come to realise is that Satan/the Devil is mentioned along with evil and the 6 other deadly sins. Without understanding what evil and Satan is, we cannot see the goodness of God and his creation as we need comparisons to grasp that concept of Good (over Evil), Love over Hate, Peace over War, God empowering Satan and victory over evil.

  Nice post, but the last statement seems odd. If god empowers satan, then good triumphs over evil, it sounds like a game with loaded dice. Why bother playing the game if you empower something just to defeat it? Of course you're going to ensure however you empower your adversary he's weaker than you. It doesn't prove any valuable point.

  Good does triumph over evil because God IS triumphant over the devil. It's NOT A GAME. He (God) did not empower satan just to defeat him, he created Lucifer (who is now satan) to be with him eternally. The fact that God overpowers satan and lords it over Him cannot be helped, for God is the Creator and none of His creation can ever out-power Him.

  I didn't say it was a game. I said it sounded like a game with loaded dice. Now it sounds even more bizarre by your description. He creates an adversary to fight, making him in such a way that he can best him. Then, once the inevitable happens, he lords it over him? That's your theory?
  
  If god is the creator and none of his creation can beat him; what, exactly, is the point? This makes no sense. Unless you're saying it's a game Satan is in on, already knows the outcome and is simply playing along to teach a moral lesson?

  I guess her theory would support your statement. I don't know. I don't think I ever believed in Satan. It never made much sense. If heaven were perfect then why would an angel leave? You'd assume he knew his god had created him and that god was all powerful. It doesn't seem like an intelligent move to make to buck a system whose end is predetermined.

  Is a Picasso Painting called anything but a Picasso?
  
  So, we are left with two options. One, satan was created by god and therefore is a part of god, which leads to the conclusion that god is both "good" and "evil". Or two, satan always was, just as god always was, which leads to the conclusion that there are in fact two gods, one "good" and one "evil"

  If we are supporting the second theory one can't say as god is super power then they seems as are parallel forces.Usually all believers who believes in Lord likes to believe eventually he can defeat Satan.In that case again it suport that God made everythih including Satan.So first theory is better.

  It is impossible for god to defeat satan. (good defeats evil). If evil is defeated and is no more, then the only thing left is "heaven". If all evil is gone; there is no hell, there is no sin, and everyone by default will go to heaven.
  
  In the Book of Revelations, it is said that satan would be bound 1000 years and then released for a short time to rule and gather his armies. This would mean, that there is going to be a period of time, prior to the "return of christ" when satan will not be around to "corrupt/tempt" any souls.
  
  There is only one way for this event to occur, god has to allow it. This means that god will allow evil to rule the earth. If you read Revelations carefully, you will notice that the believers are still on earth.

  No, but Satan is responsible for tempting people.
  
  We are responsible for listening to the crap he tempts us with.
  
  Just as the perverse person that persuades the child to do something wrong such as hit other children is guilty of doing so.
  
  The child was confused by the adult that offered an idea that would bring pain to another child. The child didn't understand at first the effects of his actions.
  
  But the child becomes responsible if he comes to understand it brings pain and continues to do the evil deed.
  
  This is why forgiveness is given by God. We are all children and no one is alike. We all perceive things differently through different circumstances.

  I don't "blame" man for their thoughts, nor praise "god" for their thoughts. Why would I condemn or praise men for doing what is bad or good? That is silly. Mans own mind IS ha-satan. There is not such entity named Satan chasing 7.4 billion living humans (not to forget the billions from the start) and making a muck of their lives. The mind was a tool given to man, so he would be free to do amazing things. Having indulged the thoughts of his mind, he is now a slave to them, a pattern of self and ultimately a destruction of self, should man continue to be enslaved by his mind.

  If evil wasn't the norm, there would be no need for police. Just because a person is morally opposed to evil, doesn't mean that it isn't a normal part of our daily lives. If evil wasn't the norm, then there would be no sin. And those who claim we sin everyday would be wrong. Being evil and living among evil things is two different things.

  Don't worry DS.. I'm not trying to attack you. Just the idea I thought I seen.
  
  And I appreciate that. It's quite alright. Everyone can get frustrated with misunderstandings.
  
  I simply meant that evil IS there. But we shouldn't just "accept" it.
  
  No one would accept the person who kills their loved one.
  
  And on the same side of the line is every other deed akin to and leading up to that horrible thing that hurts people and their families.
  
  There is a problem in the world with everyone believing that a little bit of evil isn't that bad. They say "it's a part of us."
  
  This is only true if they accept it. You can only have one or the other.
  
  It is either you are good. Or you are evil.
  
  You are either clean water. Or you are dirty water. Even if there is only a little bit of dirt... It's STILL dirty water. It's contaminated..
  
  With accepting both to be a part of you, one of the "parts" of that person will give in from one time to the other.
  
  Sometimes the love will win.. Sometimes the evil.. And I don't want to hurt anyone, and evil ALWAYS hurts someone. That's what evil is, it is the destruction of things that are good.
  
  Selfishness and pride are the things that evil promote. And that isn't normal no matter what people say. Maybe the common attitude in this world. But in deep thought and consideration any reasonable logical person can see that evil is NOT normal and is destruction at it's worst.
  
  This is why I love everyone. Because God is love. And love is life and happiness and everything good. I don't want pain for my children, nor does anyone else. Evil has been made to look like something we need.
  
  We DO NOT NEED EVIL.. We need to get rid of it. It's an infestation into this world. And I know there are people that don't believe in the Bible. But this subject is one of the prime reasons that I must believe in the word of God. It's because it makes soooo much sense that I just couldn't ignore it.
  
  Well... Maybe that covers my view a little..

  Satan is a Christian invention. Probably to do with the fact that the Romans were sun worshipers. All sun worshiping religions see light as good and darkness as evil. The fight between the sun and the dark is an eternal struggle for dominance.
  
  For those of you who don't know your history, Satan in the Jewish texts is god's right hand. To the Jews he was the accuser. Jewish scholars see him in Job as representing gods doubt. There is nowhere in the OT or any cannon that tells of a fallen angel. It is in a text neither the Jews or Christians recognize as part of their bibles. But the story survives and you all assume it is in there somewhere. Show me in the OT where there is evidence of a war in heaven between satan and god. It isn't there. Or of how satan was thrown out of heaven. It's not in there.
  
  So basically modern christians have taken a non-biblical reference as if it is biblical.
  
  Ever wonder where Jesus get's his halo? It's from being crossed with Sol by Constantine even after he converted Rome to Christianity. He believed in Sol and Mithra, two sun gods. He made Sunday a holiday, not for the Christians sabbath, for the SUN'S day. He wrote an edict which compelled christian and sun worshiper alike to celibate Sol. He made Jesus birthday the same as Sol's birthday.
  
  So Christians are sun worshipers who don't know it, but have taken on the sun worshipers idea of light vs darkness as part of their religion.
  
  It's really a shame Christians don't know their own history and don't care.

  I'm currently reading up on Jewish theology and what an eye opener it is. So much Christian doctrine on satan, hell, fall of man, just crumbles away.
  
  The church has abandoned 4000 years of Jewish thought and theology in favour of pagan belief systems and superstition.
  
  What we should have got was:
  Christianity = Judaism - the Mosaic law + Christ fulfilling the law.
  But what we got was:
  Christianity = a smooth blend of Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Greco roman paganism.

  Human societies do get influenced by one another; we live in the same planet and we have to co-exist here peacefully.
  
  Another reason of similarities in religions is being all of them in origin from ONE-TRUE-GOD; so naturally the similarities.
  
  The difference happens due to the time factor; to err is human; so they tend to forget the original message; then the Creator-God reveals the message again to a messenger prophet; out of His mercy for benefit of the human beings.
  This is how human society improves or evolves ethically, morally and sipiritually.

  Nature is a process. So it does create. But usually we say it produced us rather than created us. Science gives ample proof that nature is creative. There is no difference between something created by consciousness and something created through natural process. In fact, consciousness is a creation of natural process.
  
  I can call it god and have. It is the same thing. That which created or produced us by definition god.
  
  The only question is, is it a consciousness or an unconscious process? There is no evidence to support a conscious being as god. But there is more than enough evidence and common sense in the idea that nature is our creator/producer.
  
  Until a need is found for an outside god, it is pure speculation. No conscious god is needed for the universe to be exactly as it is.

  Nature is the lowest expression (optic/manifest) of Creator --the Hebrew word for that is Elohim of which man is titled elohim (the sum of all nature)-- which is why it is terribly difficult for humans to grasp it; Science deems the tangible as evidence (the seen/the optic) and defines it as creator; sensation deems a singular entity within creation as creator, who is intangible.
  
  Yet Creator is tangible, intangible and in-between.
  
  If one considers it: creation is merely the breath of Creator -the entire span of the universe and everything in it.
  
  Creation is a process --a process of illumination.
  Imagine blowing a bubble and everything in it contains your breathe, that would be the sum of the universe. Your breath contains the identical vibrato of yourself. Its very essence is you and is sustained by that essence --that essence is sentient and everything within aware/conscious of itself, just as you are aware of yourself and the bubble you created...

  I'm also not on the same page with you about creation being a process of illumination, and do not see how you can know breath contains an identical vibrato of yourself, or any part of your last few sentences. Do you have evidence of any of it? And I don't mean optic evidence necessarily. logic will do.

  Oh yes. Have you ever studied chaos? Chaos breeds order. Look up spin-glass. Conflict always produces a new order. Why? Because conflict always demands a resolution. Wars can not last forever because resources run out. When that happens, a resolution is found. Either a direct win by side or he other, a deal, or a stalemate. A new order always arises from conflict.
  
  And why is that? It is due to the laws of conservation. All atoms and thereby all things tend toward reaching their lowest possible levels of energy output.
  
  Energy can not be CREATED and it can not be destroyed. Therefore no conscious super being is required.

  Yes, man can do something horrible and in the next breath something sweet and wonderful. Both men and women are capable of the miraculous switch in a heart beat. Most of us however, prefer not to, or were raised a certain way and would never be comfortable doing it or just don't have it in our personalities to be cruel or mean or vicious, etc. But no matter how horrible something I might do is, I would never say "The Devil made me do it". It was within my own "self" to do something wrong. Not an outside influence. Just as it is in me to do wonderful things I love doing and not because God exists. I do what I do for the love of others, and it makes me happy. Just as being cruel would cause me extensive pain and make me depressed. That is me. Others I am sure have their own reasons. Additionally, when something goes wrong, I do not blame God or the Devil.

  apparently the devil was only allowed to act under god's permission, so yes, it's still god's fault. If god alone can create everything then god made the devil.
  
  God and devil are part of the black & white world of religion - evil vs good, light vs dark, hot vs cold, love vs hate.
  There is never in between. It's very primitive thinking

And, he turns into an Angel of Light at the end of his "tour of duty".
It's all part of a big lesson we have to learn, imo.Or re-discover maybe.

  hi lovemychris
  
  At that day(end of his tour of duty) you know what happens?If Satan turns into an angel it will create more problems.Please think about it that without all these negative emotions positive things have no meaning.It is like the two sides of coin.Can you feel peace if you havent experienced war?Can you experience joy if you dont know about hate.If your answer is yes,at that moment we cant call that experience peace/joy.Because without its counterpart those words will lose its meaning

  I think you can experience peace if you do not know war. I think you can know good having never experienced evil. You just appreciate good and peace more if you have experienced the opposite. But they can exist without each other.

Hi Evans
you say without God Satan wont exist.But what about God without Satan.We all say God is full of love but if Satan is not there what about Adam and Eve's story/what about Christ's Death and resurrection.That means entire Christianity depends on that.right?So without Satan God also have no exist.If so,God will be full of love no hate on earth.Full of positie things then no problems on earth.But at the same time love will lose its meaning.Without hate what is meaning of love?Without 'anger' what is the relevence of 'peace'?So for all these things one negative power is needed it may be Satan or whatever we call.So only i said like these all are part of the game

@kess i agree with you

[ha] satan: adverse; not fully illuminated; limited; at odds with; darkened; satiric; enmity; opposed to; a position of stand-off; resistant; being of a partiality; conditional; divided;

Although apart of all things, dark is adverse to light.
[ha]satan, the human mind, is at odds || adverse || not fully illuminated || partial || at enmity with light/creation { the vibrato of Creator }.

  Hi twenty one days,
  can you simplify your writings?i didnt understand you correctly.Anyway do you agree on Gods presence everywhere?If so what about the existence of Satan.I think all believers have to agree that but at the same time if so who is present in Satan??God?Try to understand that first sentence then becomes contradictory to itself in a manner that then you have to admit God is present In Satan also.If so again,God is also responsible for his doings?if not like God is not present in him we cant say like he is the Super power.am i right?

  mobile,
  
  satan (ha-satan) in Hebrew is a Verb, not a noun.
  ha-satan is directed at the human opposition to truth (which is the vibrato of Creator) --his words-- all around them and in them.
  
  There is no "Entity" or "Angel" named "Satan" written anywhere in Torah. Nor is there any Entity named "Lucifer" mentioned anywhere in Torah, the 4-Gs or the Letters. does not exist.
  
  The adjective in Latin Vulgate --which is where the present translation of the text comes-- (lucem ferre or lucis ferre ) means: light bearer, deliverer of information; messenger. You could say fiber optics are lucem ferre, if you catch my meaning. Also, note, it refers often to Venus --the morning star and also as Y`shua, the light of the world.
  
  Creator is everywhere and everything. The human ha-satan, Creator is there, trying to illuminate their opposition, remove the partition/partiality, division, enmity between.
  
  So, there is no "individual super being v a fallen angel".
  It is humanities resistance to what they were designed to be. What Creator was reflecting in them --himself.
  
  James.

  I am saying NO such Entities exist, with regard to the belief system.
  
  1. No such entity Lucifer or Satan exists.
  2. No such iconic deity title a god or God. That is idolatry.
  
  Creator is way beyond doctrines and icons, I assure you.
  
  what exists are the three known parameters of Creators breathe.
  Tangible light
  Intangible light
  Optic light.
  
  ( i remember --unless incorrect-- the text refers to it a rhema, imrah and logos )
  
  Darkness is simply light non-optic. it is light in disorder or out of sequence with other light sequences/words.
  
  Make sense?

  The Creator-God does have the knowledge as to what is going to happen in the future; that does not mean that he forces one to that end.
  
  If a man throws himself out from a high rise building and gets killed; the man has done it himself; the Creator-God has not done it.
  
  Having knowledge of something is different from predestination.

  Whatever happens naturally happens because it takes place within the plan of life set by the Creator-God. Freedom of Choice or free will falls within the purview of this plan of life set and evolved under principles made by the Creator-God.
  If one denies God; that one can do within the plan of life; that is your choice. If one makes a wrong choice willfully; one is going to get its bad results within the natural plan set by the Creator-God.
  
  One can pray to God to save himself from the vagaries of nature before its happening.
  
  Impossible could become possible by prayers, within that plan, done beforehand.

  yes only God can conquer satan. He has delegated that athourity to us. On our own satan is to much for us, but as the big truck is to much for a traffic cop to stop, it becomes no problem when he is under athourity and in uniform.
  Another thought, satan is not a power, he is not the opposite of God. He is a created being like us, just not in the image of God like us.

  Satan is a Hebrew noun and simply means one who opposes or an adversary, Strong's #7854. The same word is used of David by the Philistines in 1 Sam 29:4 and it was also used to describe the Angel of the Lord who stood in the path of Baalam in Numbers 22:22. But because the church didn't want David and God's angel to be called 'Satan' they translated the Hebrew as adversary.
  
  Satan is not a proper noun and should therefore never be used as a name for an individual. It does not mean the devil. The is no one called Satan in all creation. God has sent angels as satans to various people, and people have been satans to other people. It's about time the church dumped this Persian mythology.

Satan is not apart of God any more than you or I are a "part" of God. It isn't like pantheism where everything is in its essence "God". God is seperate from Satan, but He has power over Satan. Of course the Devil would not exist without God, but neither would we...
We should also realize that we have more power than Satan could ever have, he is not a demi-god or anything. Satan is merely a tempter, a deciever, and a persecuter.
True, Satan is the prince of this world and of the kingdom of darkness, but if we are not of this world (John 17:14) and so our power is from something greater than this world. Satan can have this world, for any power gained in it is temporary, but the power that comes from God is eternal

No proof the invisible myth exists, not one single piece of even reasonable empirical evidence in 2,000 years, and currently half the middle east is in flames over religion. Why? Both reading differently from the same book!

Jesus-Savesposted 12 years ago
All i hear in this forum is guess work. I was longing for somebody to open the Bible and explain things from there, but i was disappointed. Anyway, here is the truth behind this matter.
God created everything holy and good (yes, there was a time when all was good), Lucifer was one of the angels of God and He too was holy and good. In fact, he was the highest angel (highest created being), and he was given the high position of covering cherub. But he started to envy the position of God (this is a mystery), and later became Satan/Devil the enemy of God. And he managed to gather followers of angels in his rebellion against God. There was then a mighty war of words as each side tried to prove its point. Lucifer (now Satan) wanted to be equal with God, just like God's Son was equal with God. But Michael (God's Son/ Jesus) fought back, and won the arguments. And Satan and his followers were thrown out of heaven to this earth. Now Satan and his fellow fallen angels (invisible to human sight) are on death row awaiting the great day when they will all be destroyed by fire. But they are spending their tempting men so that we may be destroyed together with them in the end.
Here are some Biblical texts:
"How art thou fallen from heaven oh Lucifer son of the morning... For thou hast said in thine heart, 'i will ascend unto heaven, i will exalt my throne above the stars of God, i will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north, i will ascend above the heights of the clouds, i will be like the Most High'. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." Isaiah 14:12-15
"Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Thou has been in Eden the garden of God, every precious stone was thy covering... Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth, and I have set thee so, thou was upon the holy mountain of God, thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou was perfect in thy ways until iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise, they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned, therefore i will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God, and I will destroy thee oh covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou has corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness." Ezekiel 28:12-17
"There was war in heaven; Michael and His angels fought against the Dragon, and the Dragon fought and his angels and prevailed not, neither was place found anymore in heaven. And the great Dragon was cast out, that old Serpent called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world. He was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:7-9
"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day." Jude 6
