Why doesn't God get rid of Satan once and for all?

Answer 1

A) He has. The battle for human souls has already been won by God. But we live in time, and so we don't see the evidence yet.

B) Because God is God and has his own good purposes.

C) Because he doesn't cater to our little fits and whims, and waits for us to humble ourselves before him instead of standing up in his face like angry little children demanding that he do what WE want in OUR time frame.

D) Because a crucial element of love is allowing one to be oneself and to choose. God gave all self-aware creatures free choice.

Answer 2

Satan is a Metaphor for all the horrors of life. Satan is a object we can point to and cry or scream and it seems real, but it is a Metaphor for all the bad things that happen. Satan is the embodiment of all those worries that run around our ours heads at time. Satan is that feeling of guilt we get when we have done something that is shame full. Satan is charactor that we can blame for all our miscomings, mishandlings and miss angel hair down the street.
Satan is a guy or gail we think about when we are alone with ourselves. He can loucious can't she.

Answer 3

Satan was Gods right hand man, God loved him.. Then just like when you give an Immature idiot power, he wanted more, then he thought he was better than God. So God told him... "I'll tell ya what, You see how many people you can get to follow you, I'll see how many will remain true to me, and when its done.. You can have all those souls you won for your self. I will take the souls that remained true to me. and for a thousand years, your people will go with you and my people will go with me and when that is over, we will see how many still want to be with you...
Then God will kill Satan and we will live eternally free of Satan pain and tears. Just remember we are eternal beings and this little bit that we are in this life.... is nothing compared to the eternity we will spend once this life (test) is over.

Answer 4

Would you get rid of your best assistant?
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 5

lets sharpen ur question. what ur trying to ask is why did G-d create satan in the first place.

the reason the way i see it is that the whole point of man having free will on this earth, is for the reward in the next world. there is a saying in judaism that "everything is in the hands of heaven except fear of heaven." we have free will for a reason and w/o satan (and w/o the desire to sin), there would effectively be no free will and we would all be robots.

and this is the reason why G-d doesnt just get rid of satan. b/c as men, we need the evil inclination in order to overcome it.

Answer 6

We have it within ourselves to get rid of Satan once and for all.

If all of us fully accepted God and rejected Satan entirely, Satan would have nowhere to go, so to speak. He'd still be around, but he'd be isolated and contained.

Answer 7

Many have fallen deep into their minds and found the godhead, the source of
all knowledge and many have gone insane. The truth is shocking; you need a
bullet proof brain to endure its mind numbing revelations. Satan claimed
his son could appreciate any of Gods truths if given the chance. God agreed
to let him try.

A thousand times I tried writing this very serious book. It’s a ***** of a
story to tell, problematic to say the least. When it became evident I was
going to get the big picture of God and Satan, I thought it would be prudent
to take them in small doses. Worked ok, kept me sane and forced me to go
through it all, step by step. The road to the truth doesn’t seem to make
any sense until nearing its end.

I will try to take you down this most difficult road; to spoon feed you tons
of what looks like bullshit so that the well hidden truth can be seen. Wish
me luck.

When I was a kid I heard that we use only a small percentage of our minds
potential. The scientists agreed. Why weren’t we investing millions to
find ways to fix our brains? Nobody seemed to be concerned. For the next
couple of decades I thought a lot about it and studied human and animal
behavior.

Finally I was struck by the light. I had triggered it by saying suppose
your eyes were looking inward instead of out and what you saw was really
inside your head. My girlfriend didn’t understand so I repeated it a couple
of times and on the third try I felt as if the universe was actually being
sucked into my mind and I saw the light.

Since psychology had become my thing I welcomed the opportunity to play with
it. Its power could lead to insanity but I felt confident I could handle
it.

To give you an idea of how it affects you let’s suppose you are walking with
a friend and you see an airliner crash and burst into flame. You’d be
riveted to the scene; you wouldn’t turn to your friend and say. “By the
way, who won the game last night?”
The light, like the plane crash, grabs your attention and draws you in.
It’s hard to brake away.

At the time I didn’t know Lucifer means the bearer of light. I hadn’t
thought a light could come from him. The lights first revelation was that I
was God. Felt great! No more problems! I was so happy I just wanted to
sit there and enjoy it. I couldn’t rid myself of this belief but
fortunately, whatever semblance of logic was left in me questioned the idea
of being God. If I’m God, I thought, I should know how the universe was
created.

An image immediately formed in my mind. I not only saw but felt the
universe being sucked in and recreated three more times as if it was trying
to get it right. The fact that not only did I get an answer but that I
could see and feel it was very interesting.

A couple of decades later I learnt Satanists believe a new God will destroy
the universe, and recreate his own, or, the big black snake swallows the
universe and recreates his own.
Recently I heard that scientists, studying the origins of the universe,
can’t figure out how come it’s not anywhere near as lumpy as they expected,
it is spread out much too evenly; there should be huge chunks of the big
bang all over the place.

It would make sense if you believed it had been recreated three times.

Now we hear they discovered this mysterious antigravitational dark matter.
It accounts for their missing two thirds, or .666 of the universal mass.
The dark matter is expanding the universe. It’s as if Satan has accepted
this final creation and is dispersing it through his realm.

My question got the light going. My mind was bombarded with interesting
revelations. Since it was so powerful I was afraid that lingering on any
one of these new ideas and mental talents could damage my mind. Each
revelation was worth a lifetime of reflection. I only glanced at them and
figured that if I saw them even if only for a moment they would eventually
come back to me. I hurried and took in as much as I could.

The light is a master programmer. The things I saw came back to me at a
slower pace, some would become more understandable and useful to proceed and
others would be painful but I now had the natural ability to pull away. The
disagreeable parts I experienced more than once. The second time at a bad
scene, no matter how upsetting it was the first time, became easy to handle,
as if I was building immunity. The process took 27 years to complete.

The prophets have seen the light and I’m certain they did their best to show
you the way. Religions all say the same thing, have patience and love your
neighbour; they are of little use to you if you don’t live by this golden
rule. The prophets could not reveal the secrets of heaven to people who
thought they lived on a flat world.

I saw my soul live through the key moments in its eternal existence. All
our souls are connected to the godhead, the space-time continuum, the
wormhole, the God within or whatever you want to call it.

God and Satan took me to school, taught me how to see the lay of the land.
They wanted to keep us within certain parameters. I saw more then they
wanted me to see, found strong helpful spiritual allies who got a kick out
of God and Satan predicaments.

My theories are just that, theories, and may be off the mark. What I tell
you I saw is exactly what I saw, it’s all true, I swear on my very precious
soul.

The story I lived through is sensible, interesting, exciting and often very
funny. Trouble is I didn’t catch all the clues; I’m not a scholar or a
scientist, I’m not even a writer. I’m positive many of you will understand
what I missed. It only makes sense that it will take a team effort to get
it all straight.

Answer 8

Because God and Satan are one and the same. Two sides of the same coin.

Answer 9

Satan is a created being of man, not God....and if you want such a demon in your life, then God has no qualms about that. Just know that in His eyes, there is nothing to "get rid of".

Answer 10

He will. Satan will be pitched into the lake of fire, and that will be it on him. But not yet. God has other things to do first...like allow more time for those who do not yet understand about Jesus and salvation. "For God is longsuffering, not willing for any to perish". When the judgment comes, salvation will no longer be available. Today is the day.
