When it comes down to who will be saved and who will becondemed Religious Rightests automatically side with God-Jezus-Muhammed-Moses-whoever-and why? Because YOUR GOD IS A self admitted Jealous God (His Bad)-and to not see things his way means to burn & suffer torment-In America and by Our Justice system Your God and his prophets would be thrown into prison and by their actions do time-this based on the evidence that has been presented by Your Books of Law. Satan committed no crime-perhaps as a boy grows-up to be a man and must find his own way and yet is in need of FREEDOM from the rules he has been forced to live by while under the direction of a Higher Authority-I would Love to see the United States Supreme Court Try Your God for his actions as an oppressor and a dictator and an admitted murderer-2 burn anyone in Our Country would be grounds 2 prosecute the individual on grounds of felonious assault! 2 imprison somebody is also against THE LAW-King Jesus would be extradited GO USA!

I am sorry you don't know God, God created everything that has been created and he created man above all other creations.
You don't have to do anything for or with or about God, You are so special because he created you with free will. You get to choose if you accept him and his Sons free gift.
You get to choose if you wish to go to heaven of hell.
You get to decide.
How has God or Christians oppressed you or anyone else, Christians formed the country of the United States, not religionist. Christians fought in wars to protect your freedom of religion, speech and all the other freedoms you claim so dear.
They fought so that people like you could twist the freedoms into things like the right to kill babies, the freedom from Church, and others.
Soon you will be happy to know that the Church will be gone. We will not be here as a moral guide. All you liberals, God haters, all you America haters will get to do what ever you won't to do, or what ever the devil says you can do.
Then will come sudden destruction.
Think about it.

Wow! Do you have a dislike of God or what??
I'm having real problems trying to understand your logic.
Satan was never the son of God. He was an Angel who tried to lead a revolt against God to gain power over God. That's anarchy and if a person did that to the U.S. government or to the President, they would be executed.
In our religion, Satan is not some poor soul who just defied his mean old daddy. He is a very crafty, and the most beautiful of angels. He deceived a third of the angels to follow him. But the revolution failed. And I'm very glad he did fail.
A lot of people also do not understand the concept of Free Will, which has been a fundamental part of our religion ever since the beggining of man. God gave us the right to choose or reject God.
But think of our laws in the USA, you actually have the choice to follow or not follow the laws. But there are repercussions if you don't follow the laws. It's the same way with God's laws. You can choose to not follow them, but you also have to be prepared that means that you accept the responsibility for not following the laws, right?
The same goes for God's rules. They aren't that difficult to follow. They start with Love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (self control).
As far as Heaven, that is God's home. And as such, that means, that God provides it for those who want to be with him. If a person wants nothing to do with God (other than treat him as the Magic Genie who is there to grant their requests and get mad at him when he does not do this), why should God invite them to be with him after they die?
This has nothing to do with the USA.

You may want to do some research on who satan is before making the claims you have as well as who God really is.
Based on your comments and the fact that they actually mirror other people's opinions it is not surprising therefore that Satan has lately tried to convince many he is not all that bad - another deception. Actually, Satan is the most powerful fallen angel and the master of all evil. He exercises a massive influence in the affairs of the earth. He is only a created being however, and his power just doesn't compare with God's. When the right time comes God will command some angels to tie up the devil and throw him into the lake of fire. One day people will wonder how the devil ever managed to deceive and destroy so much.
Some ask how Satan ever came into existence. Here is the Bible answer.
God created multitudes of angels, including at least three archangels: Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel. Angels are spirit beings which may or may not manifest themselves in a visible form (usually not). All angels were created good and holy but Lucifer, the chief worship angel decided to exalt himself and led a rebellion in heaven against God (Ezek. 28:13-15; Is 14:12-14). Lucifer and his angels were cast out of heaven and became Satan and his evil spirits (2 Peter 2:4). Satan is active today in the air (Eph 2:2), in the earth (Job 1:7) and also under the earth, in hell. Not being everywhere at once, as God is, he works through his forces, including fallen angels and demons. These spirits seek to live in and work through people, usually in a hidden way - usually not openly. The results of Satan’s work are still evident in our world today. Jesus came to destroy these works. (1 John 3:8).
Satan is therefore the author of evil. His chief desire is to receive the worship that belongs only to God the Creator (Matt. 4:8-10; Rev. 13:4). He also works in his hatred against mankind to destroy them as much as he can for time and eternity.
Why does God permit Satan to exist and have so much power? Is God unable to destroy Satan? No, God could do it, but Satan is permitted to operate for certain reasons. Firstly, so there could be a choice - people must choose to worship God now - there is an alternative. Secondly, Satan and his kingdom exists to ensure that people reap what they sow. Thirdly, Satan is permitted to operate while God gives mankind time to repent. For God could not forcibly remove evil from the Universe justly unless He also destroyed sinners at the same time. God instead is holding back his wrath, giving men time to turn to Him.
Like his evil spirits, Satan has a mind, emotions, and a will which is in rebellion against God. They are persons, not forces. See Luke 11:24 for proof of this. No matter what people may say, these spirits still exist and work in different ways around the world. Many (but not all) pagans know this fact better than ignorant preachers and ministers who in their pride no longer trust the account of the Bible.

Such is the nature of genuine authority.
I would like to see you, as a child, stand up and rant like that at your parents if they were truly decisive enough to discipline you properly. You can hate them for just punishment if you want, but the more you struggle against your parents, the worse things get for you. That's reality. As for your definition of freedom, its a fantasy. Real freedom is to have the right to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But, just like in the U.S. justice system, that right comes at a cost, and with limitations.
The nature of the universe is submission or rebellion to supreme authority. That's why there are actual LAWS of physics. There are rules, they will be followed or ignored. There are consequences for either choice.

Your very angry and misguided. Satan is not the creator, so he cant do what he wants, although God has given him a pretty free rain. There is an order to the universe, not disorder which is what the big bang creates. Creator makes the rules. It functions like that here on little old Earth too. Its called chain of command. Stop your foolishness and THINK!

God created us with loose will, the skill to compliment. although, you're appearing as though God did no longer even provide help to an get away direction! He knew that people might turn against Him, so he made a skill of get away from sin and loss of life. additionally, even in spite of the undeniable fact that God gave us a call, it rather is not any longer a result-loose selection. in basic terms such as you could decide directly to no longer positioned oil on your vehicle, however the engine will dissipate in case you do no longer. it rather is a organic results of growing to be the incorrect selection. you could "decide on" to abort your toddler, however the end result's which you will go through melancholy, alcoholism, drug use, and breast/uterine maximum cancers, and diminished shallowness. the thoughts that easily count in existence are no longer result-loose. yet another ingredient you may know is that the Bible does not say that human beings will burn in Hell perpetually. It says that they are going to be right now ate up, on no account to exist lower back. the assumption of an endlessly burning Hell does not come from the Bible, yet from historic Greek and Roman paganism. some human beings attempt to apply a verse from the Bible that talks approximately an "eternal hearth". a similar word is used to describe the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Are S & G nevertheless burning right this moment? of direction no longer. however the outcomes are eternal. So will it rather is with Hellfire. it rather is humorous how devil tries to characteristic all HIS characteristics to God, at the same time as on a similar time attempting to cajole those that he (devil) does not exist. the guy you in basic terms defined on your question is devil, no longer God.

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.

So DON'T respect Him!!
Do you think He is offended?
Do you think He will repent because you don't approve?
Certainly even you don't think that the courts of hubristic mankind are supreme in the created universe.
There were many who didn't respect Hitler, Stalin, or Mao, but that didn't make any difference when they were exterminated.
I would much rather bend my knee and confess Him King now, when I have the choice, and can live in the reality of His Mercy, Grace, love and compassion, than to be FORCED to bend the knee and confess Him when I have no choice, and have my stiff neck broken by the reality of His sovereignty.

You just have to love God almighty, the Beginning and the End, if you want to receive eternal life in heaven. He is the creator and the One in charge so He does what He wants to do. I am not talking about Muhammed, Moses, or any others, because they aren't god, they were human like us, so how can they be???

There is only one God, you and everyone else seperates and divides because of perceptions made in your own minds. The truth is there and can be found, if you stop spinning things to suit yourself ...
Humanity could burn and disolve, but God will always be. God really doesn't need humanity. He gives us the oppertunity to prove ourselves worthy enough to live eternally. Those who fail, Oh Well!
