Furthermore, Satan is part of the creation—but God is the Creator. In fact, the Bible repeatedly calls God the “Sovereign Lord”—because that is what He is. It says, “Sovereign Lord … you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them” (Acts 4:24). Satan didn’t make the world; God did—and God is still in ...

Satan attempts to lure us from the path of spiritual progress, and He seeks to destroy our Christian witness. This is why the Bible warns us to not be ignorant of Satan’s methods (2 Corinthians 2:11). Scripture goes on to encourage us with these words: “Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ” (2:14).

Satan can do nothing beyond what God wills and allows. If Satan does something against God’s elect, you can also say God did it against the elect, because ultimately God’s will is sovereign over the universe and all things therein. For example, when David calls for a census, the instigation to do it is credited both to God and to Satan.

Depends on the versions primarily, Satan nearly invariably loses but I have actually seen setups for the christian god/satan pairing that have satan higher in fiction. Can't remember the name but basically all gods were real and Jehovah who created christianity just happened to hate Lucifer, Lucifer was more powerful and a god of light though ...

2022年12月25日 · Some hold the view that Satan is a helper to God, that does make sense to an extent to me but I hold the belief that he hosted a failed rebellion and as Christianity teaches sin separates us from God although it depends what you constitute as Gods presence that’s tricky

2022年8月21日 · It seems that he succeeded to a certain degree. If you read the Bible, there's certainly a line of communication between Satan and God, and it does seem that God can still give orders to Satan. So their relationship is probably a lot more complex that we can understand. And that also answers why God does allow Satan to do what he wants.

2020年11月14日 · God can and does forgive sin unilaterally - without the need for punishment of any kind - including vicarious punishment. (Mark 2). The letter to the Hebrews, mainstream Christian theology, and violence-excusing Christians …

2018年3月18日 · The picture becomes clearer when you consider the three personas, that is:GOD, SATAN, HUMAN. Satan seems to be created just like all the other spirit creatures. He obeyed God for a time, so it seems. Then once God put his attention to Humans, something changed. Satan choose to create a rift between Man and God. In doing this, he disobeyed.

2020年8月27日 · Mori stated Satan is stronger than anyone he has ever fought. To which odin replied that Mubong isn't Tathagatha but Maitreya. I think this kinda indirectly states that Satan is above Tathagatha atleast in terms of Power even when he is not a Supreme God. Also Satan towards the end of his fight with Mubong was gonna use recoilless renewal.

2014年7月17日 · It seems that satan is the good guy in the Bible. He gave us knowledge God was denying us. He also doesnt seem to hate a specific race, of gender. And lastly he wants us to enjoy life, and have fun doing things God would otherwise condemn us for. Correct me if i'm worng but it sounds like theists are on the wrong side.
