No such thing as the devil, you make your own hell or your own heaven according to how your soul develops. People like stalin or Hitler will have gone to a very austere place indeed where like minded souls will prey on each other endlessly.
Even then, when a soul finally has an inkling that the way it is acting is not right, then assistance is available to help it develop.
The average man in the street has no need to fear any of this as he will go to a much better realm than he is on Earth.
Even you atheists can sit back and smile, for having faith is not a prerequisite for entry to the upper worlds, as long as you lead a normal average life with average kindness to others.
Rather than vehemently disavowing God and spirit though, it is healthier to keep a sceptical but open mind, as the state of mind at the time of death can have a bearing on how long it takes for a soul to accept its new surroundings.
God bless you all, even you atheists, for you really are truly blessed
Love and Light

How can people have free will and have a devil make them do it at the same time? The story makes no sense.
Assuming there was a devil, why would he punish people for turning against god? Wouldn't he be happy to have more people on his side? Why would he alienate the people in hell with torture, when he could treat them well and have their support?

i'm aghast - i understand this became into requested in the religion section yet... i will almost understand why the frauds that wrote the bible did so - a number of you human beings certainly would desire to be controlled! i'm actual a great deal shocked that there are various brainwashed followers who're arranged to jot down such drivel in a public communicate board which would be study via sane human beings. rach - you heavily would desire to enhance your horizones and examine out some unfastened questioning. How can various human beings declare to be waiting to tell you approximately hell while they are able to in straightforward terms speculate approximately it. "god created hell to punish the devil" while did he inform you this? Had you been eating or had you eaten that final slice of pizza even nonetheless you weren't beneficial how long it were there? If I went around claiming I had spoken with god and he'd instructed me his clarification for giving us maximum cancers i might the two be locked up or worshiped via a number of those relatively smart varieties residing in the southern US. Santa Claus is unquestionably a toddler molester searching for his next sufferer - there's a declare that has as plenty benefit as does hell exist.

Hell is not the devil's punishment, it is a place where God will send all of those who do not accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The devil himself shall suffer in hell---he will not have time to punish anyone. Stop listening to fairy tales and reading cartoons. Jesus loves you.

The devil can't stand anyone being evil but him.
This is a very good question, and it is another one of those contradictions seen in the belief of christianity. As more and more of these contradicting facts are found in the religion, more and more people will turn to atheism, leaving only the most religious of people in the faith.

God is the only one that punishes the evil... that's why the devil, as mean as he is, pushes you to do bad, so you receive the same punishment he is receiving since he did bad.

the devil doesn't get to punish people in hell. He'll be one of those punished in hell, when Jesus comes.
People keep asking God to leave them alone. He never does.
Hell is to be taken completely away from God.
God is...
midnight jokes, Someone calling for you by your window, a hug when you need it, hope, to love yourself, believing in yourself, having someone believe in you. Running away with your best friend to chat....
no body's ever felt a world completely without God. That's hell.
The light shines in through the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Because all the devil wants is for you to be as miserable as him. He probably does welcome evil people into Hell with open arms- while he's laughing at how easy they were to tempt.

The devil PUSHES you to do evil--probably laughing all the way!
You don't get 'punished' for evil-------------God only Convicts you--
Satan Condemns you for the VERY thing he pushes you to do!
He is the master of lies,deceit, hatefulness, everything that is negative, is from satan.
Everything that is good, and pure, and true, comes from God.

In case you have forgotten - the devil is the father of lies. Those who worship him here on earth will be punished even worse in hell, than other souls.
