if satan has the power to cause great strife in our world, why isn't god using his powers to prevent it? it would appear satan is far more powerful

Of course! The people who worship Satan are way cooler than the ones that worship God. I mean, check out the God Squad: The Pope, dead apostles, weird freaky evangelicals and then look at Satan's followers: Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Me
Far, FAR cooler and more powerful!

When Adam and Eve decided to eat the fruit of good & bad. It meant that we as humans have decided that we do not need God to live a peacefull and happy life (thus sidding indirectly with Satan). We can do things our own way. God gave us the oppertunity to do just that, try to prove Him wrong.
We have been unsuccesfull In ALL out endeavours to validate our claim. Hence we still have the stubbourn audacity to blame God for all our misfortune.
That is why all this great stife is happening. It is our time to prove God wrong without His interverance. When we are done proving ourselves and Satan wrong, the end will come and evil will be removed, eventually , permanently !
Then the human race will live an eternity, in a paradise earth with NO evil ever to be present. Eventually even the remebrance of evil will be forgotten.

His triumph is but a short while.... God has prepared His place already and now He's just using Satan to hasten His work to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of men. God sees everything from the beginning to the end. Satan was God's good spirit son, but he rebelled against Him from hisown will and became Satan. IT's all about agency. Don't dispute God's power and wisdom. Life is a play of test, trial, temptation and tragedy. God wants us prove ourselves whether we will obey and follow Him in any circumstance. Whosoever endures well will be saved by His grace.

NEVER. God is way more powerful than satan. These things were meant to happen. God will not stop this because all the true christian people and children are safe. Meaning that whatever happens, a christian person will go to heaven. So christian people dont have to worry because they will be saved. All these things are happening for a reason.

how can satan be more powerful than the One who created him? satan has limited power. but with his limited power, he is trying to drag all of Gods creations to hell. he is not succeeding to well i might add. God is allowing this to happen because if God stripped us of all sin right away, we would be spiritually wounded and probably lose interest in God. God knows what He is doing. i have asked similar questions myself. that is how i know how to answer so well.

No God is more powerful....God helps those you acknowledge him as Lord. This word belongs to Satan but not Heaven.

If you invite him in he has power. All you have to say if you feel his presence is "satin get thee hence" and he will leave. You can feel satins presence and it's not a good feeling. God is going to let everyone have their free agency. What are you doing with your free agency?

No way. He is fighting a war that he is going to lose. God lets him because he wants to test people.
