I ask this, because if it went bad the first time around why should it be different now? If God couldn't beat the devil the first time, what makes you think that He could beat him now that the devil has more power?

You are spiritually lost. I wish I had a personal encounter to spend hours, days or weeks to explain. Get in a Bible Based Church. Read the Bible. Talk with God. Talk with fellow christians at your church. Seek spiritual guidance from spiritual counselors! The danger is, you are very mixed up and your comments may lead other astray, who do not have a sound faith. Please get help for yourself, so that you may someday help others too!
You need to get to know Christ as a personal Lord & Savior. You may know a little about him...but you do not know him. There is a great difference from knowing about someone, than it is about really knowing them. Jesus wants a personal relationship with you. Pray to him for understanding & direction.
God Bless you in love & direction!

It's not the matter that God couldn't beat the devil for the devil has no more power than God allows. It's about how much we love God. To have real love God gives us a chose to decide our eternity. Gods eternity has no sin.

The first time?? What do you think the great flood is what, about about when he destroyed the Tribes of Israel? When he remakes it all will be fine for 1000 years, now that is to say yrs in terms of God's years. Eventually if humans get to run rampant all will return to stupidity and wickedness. It sucks but if we look at history, we can see the consistant pattern. All is good, then we mess it up. God fixes it in His own way. Then we mess it up again, and so forth and so on. And who said that God didnt beat the devil? He was cast out of heaven. God told him to get lost, but since he was one of God's most perfect creations he was allowed to endure. It was his own deceitful and jealous nature that beat himself. O by the way, the devil is only as strong as God lets him be. His is fullfilling GOD's purpose. So dont get it twisted. Lucky for him ( lucifer) and for us that God is LOVE.
peace

You are all mixed up. God Created Lucifer as a Messenger, and he has already defeated him . In fact Lucifer defeated him self, when he divided himself with Adam. A house Divided cannot Stand. the only power the Devil has is what we give him. At no time was the devil more powerful than God,
Jesus Has already got VICTORY!

God gave the earth to Man originally in Genesis.
Man gave the earth to Satan when he ate the fruit.
Jesus paid the price to redeem the earth from Satan.
When the kingdom comes Jesus will take ownership of the earth and all of his people. He will rule it right, perfectly and supremely. Jesus will not rebel and will put aside any rebellion. Satan cannot stand up against the authority and power of God, not even close. Satan is not equal with God. Those who will not be subject to God have a destiny in a place that was created for Satan and his demons called hell. There will have no escape from it or ability to influence anything outside of it. You can see his inferiority in the gospels when Jesus encounters demonically possessed people.

According to the Christian bible, God can take away what he creates like we can distroy a picture we drew. What is to say that what "Christian God" has made won't go bad again? We can not say. According to the Christian bible, He created humans in his image and gave them choices, the ability to choose how to live their life. And if that is true, it will be enevitable that HE will not be able to control it again unless he doesn't create the next bach of humans in his image and gives us the ability to think for ourselves.
It would have nothing to do with the "Angel from Hell". God gave humans the choice and it is a battle between the Christian's God and the Christian's Devil.
I do not say "The Christians..." because I see them in a negative light, I say that because I was brought up to be christian and I have come upon another belief system. Though all humans have the ability to interpret the supposed words from "God", to me God is a frame of mind we want to believe exsist because we think we need someone to look up to for moral guidance and acceptance.
Please do not get offended by what I have wrote, I do not denounce your faith and it is yours alone. This is my opinion and should not be considered a threatening one.

The Bible says that Jehovah God “cannot lie.” (Titus 1:2) It is impossible.
It is as certain as the fact that the sun will rise and set tomorrow. For the promises of Jehovah God, Creator of heaven and earth, are ever “faithful and true.” He it is who declares from his throne in heaven: “Look! I am making all things new.”—Revelation 21:5.
