Does perfection ever admit to being wrong? Can you do a good against God? How sane is our God, for his actions are that of men of power? Obey me or forever be my enemy, unless you beg for forgiveness then I might forgive you, or not.

He never did. Satan
In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

First God is just like a concerned parent, he cares for all of us. Second God created this world so I think as does any ruler he has authority. To the question of this thread, Satan though he was better than God, more beautiful and smart. He though he could be equal with God. Yes you can do good against God, read what "good" is in the bible. See people don't want to be accountable God for their actions so they don't believe.

There are many questions here:
1. One side of the story says that god was in the wrong and that Lucifer was sent to punish him.
2. Perfection should admit when its wrong if it wants to be perfect.
3. [Good against God]? As in 'opposition'? Yes.
4. The sanity of god has been questioned since the beginning of the bible. The Gnostics wrote a great deal on this subject:

God gave angels free will just like humans. Satan was considered to be one of the great angels. Since God gave Lucifer so much, he began to become proud, and eventually he saw himself greater than God. I don't believe there was any temptation other then his own conceited heart. He convinced thousands of angels to follow him, and they were all cast down into the Earth. Now if its wasn't for the devil, then man may have never fallen into sin. Since we were deceived into believing the lies Satan gave to mankind.
Since God made the laws governing the world, we are under them. God is perfect therefore he could never be wrong. God is always good.
God promises to save those that seek after him. It is not his will for any human to perish, but he desires all come to the knowledge of the truth. Of course he decided to let man chose their own destiny, based on the choices they make.
God is all loving,, Therefore he has to be all of what he says in Corinthians about love.
Love is patient, Love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Love never fails
This God of do things my way or pay,, is not the true God. He is humbling telling creation to come to him, so that he can bless you. Without God there is no hope, which many people choose.

The short answer is: the hack writer who was cooking up the bible needed a villain for his story. Since the biblegod (being both all-knowing and all-powerful) knew from the beginning of time what Satan was going to do, and still deliberately brought Lucifer into being we can safely credit the biblegod as the font from which all evil springs.
Oh, and since it is possible (biblegod also being omnibenevolent) to create a being that both has free will and is incapable of doing evil, and because he deliberately chose not to when he made Adam and Eve, then the biblegod is in effect punishing humanity (through banishment from the Garden of Eden) for not having something that he alone was capable of giving them....

God doesnt want us to be perfect because if he does why do we need him.. satan was an angel, yes but he denied God because he wants to become god himself..
there's a quote that says 'IF you never felt pain, how would you know I'm a healer.. If you never felt sadness, how would you know I'm a comforter.. If life is perfect, would you still know me?
GOD ''
everybody commits wrong thats why we are called human.. we are higher than the animals because we have the ability to think and feel. being human means learning what is right and what is wrong.. perfection is too much and what is too much is not good..

Satan went against God because he had free will and he wanted the rest of the angels to worship him.
As for God, He is perfect, but he is not going to make us love him by force; that's not true love. You have a choice, to love him or not. He want us all to overcome, not to give in to the devil.
Repent and ask God for forgiveness in Jesus' name for your blaspheme comments about him. This is the only chance you have.

Firstly, hyperhealer3 SHUT THE F UP.
Sencondly, I am your God, you must do as I say. I am always right, you are always wrong._Perfection-Hitler-God
this is not true. read the bible for answers.
Thirdly, Satan was the highest ranking angel, so he thought that he was an equal to God, and that he wanted to be like God himself. So Goa gave him what he wanted and made him the "God" of all evil, thus, sent to Hell.
read the bible my dear.

No, you worship your father and I will worship mine. You spew forth lies as your father is the father of lies.
Perfection is not wrong therefore there is no wrong to admit to.
God IS good, therefore no good could be done against him.
Insanity if from your satan(note lowercase) who has already lost but still tries to win. It is also of those of you who follow him.
We have all disobeyed God. But he offers us forgiveness. Forever we will be with him . To remain God's enemy is futile because as you said it is forever. That means that satan(again lowercase)never can win.
Only satan is always wrong.

Because that is part of the reason the Book was written, so that man would be very obedient, that is, if you stand up to those in very high positions, you will be punished, cast out and shall never attain heaven or eternal life.
You must follow the LEADERS, and do not learn enough or think enough to question them. You will regret it.
