haa haa....God created Lucifer (or satan or devil watever)...You are half-right actually. satan is clever n power but God bestowed them to him. satan never get his cleverness n power out of nothing....His wisdom n power are not perfect, only God has....Hallelujah!!Originally posted by ak0:for satan to oppose god he also must be very clever and powerful ma.... so maybe hell is not ani worse than heaven lo...god can create heaven so wonderful maybe satan also can make it a nice place...
There's no one standing shoulder-to-shoulder beside God...Hence, God is at the top and the rest of us including satan, are below Him. -
x2Originally posted by Kismet:To cut a very very long story short:
In the Old Testament, satan was an angel who did the bidding of God and wasn't exactly considered good or bad.
The creation of satan was mainly to explain the dual nature of God.
Back then in the times of the OT, the Israelites believed that the one true god was Yahweh (there were many other gods that other tribes worshipped) and that He was infinitely good. However, they also acknowledged that bad and evil things did happen (eg, wars with other tribes, death, murder, famine etc) to them and they had to explain why this was so. Since they believed that Yahweh was omnipotent (almighty and all knowing) and was "good" by nature, they had to explain where this "evil" came from. And since there cannot be another "god" (they believed there was only ONE true God), satan was created by the OT writers for this purpose. Note that satan was part of God and had to do God's bidding eg to inflict harm onto Job, satan had to ask God for permission before it could do anything.
However, the role of the devil/satan evolved over the years. By the time of the New Testament, the role of the devil/satan was one of opposition to God.
Jesus Christ came to save humanity from sin/evil and these were attributed to temptations from the devil. Hence, the devil slowly became a separate entity from God (as opposed to its role in the OT).
This is just a very brief and simplistic explanation. If you have any questions, you might want to check with your local priest/ pastor to provide a clearer picture.
Hope this helps.

One thing we need to know is, you always have a choice....
As Lord Jesus said in Mark4:1~20, we can choose to be different type of seeds. Want to siam Satan...We have to be good seeds.... -

I thought God create evil for us to have a choice between good and bad. If everything we did had to be good becuse God controlled us, we wouldnt have much fun wudnt we??

Then wny punish men when they have fun ? Some greater evil exists such as murder, rape etc. R these fun ? Why not just simply remove them ? Or u do not want to discuss with a non-believer and close yourself up to people of your own community ?

Tat answer doesn't answer anything. I mean, any question can be answer with the above line.
Why is the sky blue ?

why is there death

Then I guess we will never learn anything -
Er , then who created God? KK hospital? He simply existed? So aren't we the same? Why bother about who created what , just be moralistic , don't cause harm to others and live a happy life. There's hardly a need for religion , believing in yourself in the best.

Same as in what? Same class, like in object oriented programming? Do you belong to 'Class Deity'? I think you are just an instance of 'Class Human'.Originally posted by SilverRevo:Er , then who created God? KK hospital? He simply existed? So aren't we the same?
You want to compare go and write a comparator first.
