"The devil's biggest trick was convincing the world that he didn't exist"
someone posted this on my question earlier i find it funny since the devil never did any wrong in the bible to begin with. the bible god is the real evil not satan sorry satan never did wrong and i could prove it if i had it my way but thats just me.
christians love to make up lies for people to believe them so this is just another lie made by them anyways but i want someone elses thoughts on this remark

Perhaps "Satan" is indeed the righteous being, and "God" is the real Great Deceiver; that would lead the world into believing a huge set of lies, which I believe is somewhat what happened.

just because you don't believe something doesn't make it a lie by making a statement like that Now i understand your other ignorrant question. You should probolystudy what you are asking a question about before you say something very stupid OOps you already did. Satan was the originater evil when he choose to consider himself better than God that is why he was cast out of heaven because of his own igorrance sounds like the two of you have alot in common. Another thing if you think the bible is so wrong why do you waste your time reading it ? Because the truth is you can't get away from it but yet you wanna try to understand something that as long as you don't have a relationship with God you never will. He holds the answers and only reveals it to those who love him and seek him

you pose an interesting question for debate. Satan, another name for Lucifer, the most beautiful and powerful angel in Heaven, is depicted in the Bible as being cast out of heaven and exiled to earth for his pride and arrogance in thinking that he was above God. Check out the website below that talks about devil being a concept created in the late 1800's. Lucifer must have done something that was not favorable to God to be banished from heaven. It is the same in the story of Adam and Eve who were warned by God not to eat of the fruit of The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Perhaps they too suffered the same pride as Lucifer and decided that they were above reproach. Anything that exists on the earth that is not of God's making comes from man's minds. Misunderstanding of each others' intentions is rampant since each of us has different experiences that do not always relate to everyone.
Perhaps these are stories based on long ago myths that teach about the duality that our minds are capable of on Earth. For our mind to understand love, it must also recognize hate or love does not exist. For our mind to understand peace, it must also understand war or peace cannot exist. This is the duality. This is what Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad and many other wise humans tried to show us in their lives. It is possible to break through this barrier in our brains but it takes more than just thinking or even studying about it. We are here to experience and after a while, there is no experience that any human departing this earth wishes for more than to have loved and to have been loved greater. This is every dying man's wish. The sooner we come to this belief there is no longer anything that can separate us from each other and God.
Only when we reach a time where we no longer judge our world, ourselves, and others with our dualistic mind which always wants to divide ideas, concepts, religions, politics, everything in two, will we reach our true potential as human beings who understand God's love for us.
Have a wonderful journey with your studies.

okay..... i agree with the remark. i'm really happy for you that satan has done so much for you. it's like this-the best way to take down an enemy is a surprise attack, right? well, if the devil can convince the world he doesn't exist, the world won't see him coming. that's his entire purpose, man, to destroy mankind. if you don't recognize him coming at you, then you have no defense.

Maybe you should read Genesis 3, Isaiah 14:12-21 and Ezekiel 28:11-19 before you conclude "Satan never did wrong."
I'm curious why you think this?

If it wasn't for Temptation then I wouldn't exist, according to the Bible.

Why dont you be 'The bigger person' and just live and let live?
You need to question your own life, since no one is forcing you to live it any other way. You seem quite obsessed in proving to others that its your way or no way.
