instead of god

That is a very good question. Because the Bible is the word of God, the devil knows his limitations and in no manner he could have inspired the writers of the Bible what so ever. The Author of the Bible is the Holy Spirit who is God who preserves His word. "Heaven and earth will dissolve, but my word remains for ever." Tells us the Bible. For the word of God is sharper than any two edged-sword and penetrates through th parting of the Spirits and the soul. The Devil, however, could have attempted several times to change the word of God or add or remove to/from the word of God, but the Bible kept its authenticity and validity through the Ages because the author of the Bible is the living God Himself.

The devil did not wrote or inspired the Bible.
However, the devil is part of God's Plan from beginning to end.
Look at Genesis, if there are no falllen event of Adam and Eve, will there be salvation to all human race ?
Even before Eve bit that apple, a shadow of the cross is shown over the horzion.
God also chose to place Judas into his mother womb, the iron which is made into nails, the seed which the cross is made.
He can't take away the iron element, done away with trees. But he chose to place them in earth, so that we not the true Jews can be heirs to God kingdom.
All of us are Gentile nation, except Israel the apple of God eyes.
God have told Abraham that through him, all the nation is blessed.
Likewise, through Jesus will are saved.
Did God say to Satan, that all men will be saved by him?
Never, will not, forever.
Satan is satan, the father of lies. Even if he did, is all lies.
Then the WH have the GWB to make lies. What have we now ? Isn't the event of the west that give birth to Osama Bin Laden ?
The liar is GWB himself.

It would explain quite a lot as religon seems to be the essance of evil
with out religon the would be a lot less war
with out the biblie there would be not as many religons
it seems when someone quotes the biblie they seem to put some one down in some way
i beleive the biblie it a fake story any way as no one can prove any thing it says
If we all said the colour red was blue in a thousand years would the people think red was blue well it would even if the biblie said it was green

Might have provide inspiration for whoever really did write the bible. u know the devil was not very nice, so some one thought it would be a good idea to write the stuff down incase they forget abt good and evil.

The Bible is a Holy Scripture written by God's followers, All stories were inspired by God's power not Satan's or anybody elses...Nobody will replace my God and Nothing will replace his great Love for us! The Bible should be respected and not be used for ignorable things like form some posts I saw...

No, but I believe that he had some say in when the bible was rewritten. But if you abide by what Gods word say, like keeping His commandments, and searching for God always, and loving Him, He will show you the truth, and the truth shall set you free. Just keep on trusting God

The Devil was too busy possessing people like in "The Exorcist" to bother writing that crap.

Technically, if you want to talk about Law, you could argue that if God wanted to defeat Satan, he could do so by fiddling with the interpretation so that God = Satan.
1) God is said to be the Final Judge
2) God defines Laws
3) God must supposedly be smarter than Satan
4) God must know the Law and Legal System better than Satan
5) People think Lawyers are sly
6) Lawyers go on to become Judges
If God is the Final Judge and God is smarter than Satan, then theoretically, God must be craftier than Satan.
If God is craftier than Satan, it would mean that God would be able to outsmart Satan. If God outsmarts Satan, you'd assume than anyone craftier or more sly than Satan would inherit the powers of Satan.
Wouldn't it make sense that if God defeated Satan that God would inherit all of Satan's powers?
They say that God is in everyone. That would include Satan. By inheriting the Powers of Satan, it means that it's only Man vs. Self. It throws out the Battle between Man vs. Man or Man vs. Nature.
If God is Nature and other Men, then it means that God is just battling with himself, which is easier to deal with than an actual foe because it just means it's all inside his head.
People have both extremes of Good and Evil. You've got a really Good Streak and a really Bad Streak. Both balance each other out, which is how you end up with Temperance.
When the Good Streak and Bad Streak combine, you end up with a normal person.
The other thing about God is that God is said to define everything. If God can supposedly outsmart and outwit people, then it would help to have the Powers of Satan.
1) God defines
2) 1 divides evently into everything defining it
3) In Math, God would be represented by the Number 1
4) Satan is Crafty
5) Satan is sly by riding on Undefined Aspects that people didn't think of when they make a Pact with the Devil
6) Anything divided by Number Zero is Undefined
7) In Math, Satan would be the Number Zero
If God assumes the Powers of Satan by defining himself as Satan, that falls into God's Territory because God "defined" Satan.
By the same token, if God defines something as being undefined... that's still defining it, which would fall under the Jurisdiction of God.
It's like in the "Phantom Tollbooth" where the King of Numbers and the King of Letters claimed there is nothing they could ever agree upon.
However, the kid says that the one thing they can agree upon is that they will disagree. They agree to disagree, which is still a form of Agreement.
So that's one case where Yes = No
Make sense?
That's why in answer to your question, if I was ever God and had a problem with Satan, I'd just redefine the parameters like a Software Program to where God = Satan.
End of story. Problem solved. You don't have to worry about Satan if God is Satan.
Besides, wouldn't that be the greatest trick of all if God turned out to be Satan? ;)
That would qualify as one of the best deceptions of all, which falls in the realm of Evil.
If you want to screw up the interpretation even more, you could argue that God "sacrificed" himself by choosing to take on the role of Satan so that he'd be hated and despised by people, which would qualify as a "sacrifice."
So assuming the Title of Satan would qualify as a Holy Sacrifce because God would incur the wrath of people by taking on the form of an image people would despise in order to save them.
Then you can go in another direction and claim that God assuming the powers of Heaven and Hell is not only the best deception, but also "selfish" because God would then control everything, which would count as being Unfair or Evil.
That would count as a perversion of Religion and Divinity, which would be to the Delight of the Minions of Hell :).

I'd be more inclined to read it if the devil wrote it. Sadly, it was people that wrote it.
