no God isn't working with Satan (lucifer was the angel, satan is the devil), he's just using Satan to find out who deserves to go to heaven!

Sence you capitalized lucifer and not God nor the word Bible, I would venture to say your question is rather or not WHO will get into Heaven? Believe it or not sinners AND saints go to Heaven. All being equal, IF they have repented theirs sins.
Not a Biblical quote but what I feel to be true. Since God said to repent...........
Lucifer himself was in Heaven at one time. Do they compete for souls? Surely they do. Thus we have been given a conscience, a will, a thought of right or wrong.
I believe each Force ( God and Lucifer, if you will ) offers us challenges on a daily basis. Is it a contest, a prize situation, who wins and who losses, who gets in and who is black balled? Who gets the most souls?
I thought your interjection that "mankind has corrupted it (the Bible) over the last two thousand years" speaks for what YOU believe. That a question of who is worthy to enter Heaven?
God says that ALL are worthy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Lucifer/Satan, the Devil accepts the same.
The struggle here between God and Lucifer is a common battle ground for possession of souls. Are they working together? I do believe that they work in unisence. One pitted againist the other to gain the power of Mankind.
Question being within ourselves? Who is stronger for the each of us is found within our own convictions, beliefs and understandings.
Your statement was really quite profound! Man, is his own demon. Man has corrupted FAITH and the word of God.

I totally agree with you about mankind being corrupted,but I don't think God would be working with Lucifer on anything especially when it involves the people he loves so much. Whether you get into heaven or not is based how you react to the influences that God or Lucifer has presented to you.Because all the trials in your life has been caused by God or Lucifer,it's up to you who you choose to follow.

no lucifer wanted power and worship that were only for god and call god a lyer as well of saying that human did not need god as a ruler, so he was sended to earth along with all the angels that
he tricked. now he is desperate becuse his end is close angrier than ever he tries to get as many people away from god, and he has great succes, on the other hand god allows this to prove that he was not a lyer as well as that we can not rule our selves, but thats way he sended his son jesus to forgive our sins and have the oportunity of been choosen and the fact that its "taking long on getting ride of lucifer" its because he wants every person to repent, but they dont work together they are the oposite and one
thing that the devil wants its to let people think things like this, or that god or devil are concepts only or that they dont exist this
way he does what he does the best trick people.

First, God as a proper name, starts with a capital "G".
2 - And why would God and Lucifer work together?
And C - Lucifer would want all the best people in Hell!

Acutally they are working together developing a plot to defeat Vishnu & Bhuddah. If they can conquer them, they will then battle each other. The last one standing will rule for the next 2000 years.

hhhmmmm. i certainly agree with your view on the "state" of the bible; but, who are "the best people"? obviously, the answer would depend on whose doing the selection. could be scary, eh? :-)
