should we give satan a chance to explain?

Question

his side of the story before drawing any conclusion of his guilt? Maybe he had a good reason for disobeying god. Maybe he didnt go along with with the lack of democracy? The bible only conatins one viewpoint so is likely to be very biased.

Answer 1

when you put it that way yes we should. get god & satan on jerry springer i say!

Answer 2

sure give satan all the time in the world or a certain amount of time and a long time as it has been and he still still still after all this time he is still rebellious against god...and if he is rebellious against god then no telling what he will do .ill tell ya what if ya feel u are in control of everything and u need no direction no help no advice and want a spirit that truely doesnt care about u .then become a satanist do what u want to do ....im not shoving christianity in nobodies face .....satan wants to be god there are never 2 bosses in the same place if he wants so badly to feel pain agony and suffering then so bet it god will give him a place to feel like he is king of and suffer pain agony and suffering plenty along with whoever wants to go with satan....i really would hope though that most people as possbile will give god a chance and just try to be positive instead of negative is what this is about ....satan at first is going to act like a great guy and he has all these powers then he is going to have u feeling as bad as u can possibly imagine and u will regret so much about having followed him down to the milky way of a blackhole called the bottomless pit that is already there and a blackhole is bottomless.....by now i believe he has had all or alot of time in the world what is the explanation for this life..... let me tell u check this jesus mic check 1 2 ...GOD created multitudes of angels,including at least 3 archangels:lucifer, michael, and gabriel.Angels are spirit beings which may or may not manifest themselves in a visible form(usually not). All angles were created good and holy but Lucifer,the cheif worship angel decided to exalt himself and led a rebellion in heaven against god lucifer and his angels were cast out of heaven and became satan and his evil spirits.Satan is active today in the air in the earth and also under the earth in hell not being everywhere at once like god is satan works through his forces including fallen angels and demons..these spriits seek to live in and work through people usually in a hidden way not openly.the results of satans work are stil evident in the world today.Jesus came to destroy these works

Answer 3

Absolutely. Even from the stories we get from the Bible and from later works of Christian apologetics, Lucifer comes across to those with an energised humanity as a very sympathetic character. No-one seems to realise that he did what was theoretically impossible - he raised war in Heaven, turning angels, who were supposedly not made with the capacity for free will, into creatures that had the ability to question, to revolt, to act decisively against their "programming" as it were. He's the one who introduced logic into Eden, giving Mankind the ability to choose between right and wrong. Many people have written "the Devil's side of the story" as fiction, including me, simply because he is so very human a character that we react against so much blame and damnation being heaped upon him.

Answer 4

This is a basic problem with society today. People want to look at every angle or "his side of the story". There are simple facts in this case. God is all powerful and almighty. He is the Alpha and Omega. His word is truth and everything was created for his glory. Satan disobeyed God. It doesn't matter why he disobeyed God all that matters is that he did. By disobeying him he tried to bring the focus on himself rather than God and thus sinned.

I would venture to say that if Satan wanted redemption God would most certainly grant it. It is Satan that rebels against God not simply God that condemns Satan.

Answer 5

Satan has been fighting against God through people and situations forever. I think he is pretty clear on how he feels. I don't think there could ever be a good reason for disobeying God and causing such havoc and destruction in the world.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

I really think this is .... Well, I'm going to answer this, but I hope you are joking. Satan has nothing to explain. It's obvious everyone, including satan has a right to make their own decisions. However, because niether me, you or satan created this place or ourselves, it is understandable why the One who did create all that exists might not be thrilled if you reject Him. If you created something and It pretended you didn't exist, hated you, mocked you or whatever, you probably would be pretty pissed. Satan made his own decision, and that was to be without God. Everything comes from God, so therefore Satan has Nothing.

Answer 8

I like this question...

Actually, the reason that he rebelled against God is that he wanted the worship due his Creator. Satan felt that he was equal to His Creator, and wanted the same worship that God receives.

This, in my opinion, is the height of self-deception. I know from personal experience that you can't trust people who are under this type of delusion. Likewise, spirit-beings who exist under this system of thought cannot be trusted.

Short answer...Satan would lie, not tell the truth, about how he feels.

Answer 9

Almighty God, the Judge of all is All Knowing. What could Satan say? He tried to stage a coup to be like God Himself. He tricked Man into handing over the rulership of creation to him. He then spent about 6,000 years torturing mankind. He has always been a liar and a murderer. What could he say in his defence?

Answer 10

Revelation 12:9
"The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

I guess you consider yourself qualified to hear, discern and judge the supernatural and incredibly powerful being? And you are above deception?

Arrogance is somethiong to be avoided. It can cause the one who would otherwise save you to decide to forsake you.

Job 35:12
"He does not answer when men cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked."

Answer 11

Albert Pike, the father of freemasonry in North America, has answered your question in his book "Morals and Dogma" - which gives a detailed description of the purposes of the masonic movement.

He calls Lucifer "the light bearer". His claim is that Christ is a liar and a usurper, who stole Lucifers throne. Freemasonry is dedicated, at least according to Pike, to illuminating the world to the fact that Lucifer is God and should receive his rightful place in authority of the world.

FYI, Pike was also a globalist, intent upon building a single global economy and system of government as a foundation for Lucifers throne.
