Answer 1

God is the deity believed by monotheists to be the supreme reality. He is believed variously to be the creator, or at least the sustainer, of the universe. [1]

Theologians and philosophers have ascribed a number of attributes to God, including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. He has been described as incorporeal, a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable existent. [1] These attributes were all supported to varying degrees by the early Jewish, Christian and Muslim scholars, including St Augustine, [2] Al-Ghazali, [3] and Maimonides. [2] Freud regarded this view of God as wish fulfillment for the perfect father figure, [3] while Marxist writers see it as rooted in the powerlessness experienced by men and women in oppressive societies.

All the great medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God, [3] attempting to wrestle with the contradictions God's attributes seem to imply. For example, God's omniscience implies that he knows how free agents will choose to act. If he does know this, their apparent free will is illusory; and if he does not know it, he is not omniscient. [4] Similar difficulties follow from the proposition that God is the source of all moral obligation. If nothing would be right or wrong without God's commands, then his commands appear arbitrary. If his commands are based on fundamental principles that even he cannot change, then he is not omnipotent. [5]

The last few hundred years of philosophy have seen sustained attacks on the ontological, cosmological, and teleological arguments for God's existence. Against these, some theists (particularly fideists) argue that faith is not a product of reason, but requires risk. There would be no risk, they say, if the arguments for God's existence were as solid as the laws of logic, a position famously summed up by Pascal as: "The heart has reasons which reason knows not of." [6]

The Devil is the name given to a supernatural entity, who, in most Western religions, is the central embodiment of evil. This entity is commonly referred to by a variety of other names, including Satan, Asmodai, Beelzebub, Lucifer and/or Mephistopheles. In classic demonology, however, each of these alternate names refers to a specific supernatural entity.

Some scholars believe that the notion of a central supernatural embodiment of evil, as well as the notion of angels, first arose in Western monotheism when Judaism came into contact with the Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. Much like classical monotheism, Zoroastrianism has one supreme God, and an evil spirit who chose to be evil, locked in a cosmic struggle where both are more or less evenly matched, though from the beginning Ahura Mazda's triumph is foretold; making Zoroastrianism an ethical dualism. Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord"), also later known as Ormazd in Middle Persian, is the God of light, or Truth, and Angra Mainyu ("Evil Spirit"), also later known as Ahriman in Middle Persian, is the primeval Spirit of darkness, or the Lie. In a final battle between the forces of good and evil, human souls will be judged in a fiery ordeal of molten metal where the good will pass through as if it were warm milk and those who chose evil will be purified and all will be reunited in the new perfected world. Accordingly, humans are urged to align themselves with Ormazd and his Yazatas ("angels") and to shun His adversary who is the ruler of darkness and his demons, so that they may facilitate the final renovation (Frashō-kereti).

Christianity views Satan as an angel cast from heaven by God, for being prideful, deceitful, and the tempter: all strikingly similar to the story of Ahriman.

Answer 2

The question has played in man's mind, ever since he got one. Is the question good vs evil or God vs Satan or Jesus vs Buddha?
Answers could be better given, if your forum was more precise. In concise analogy, the world is GOOD vs EVIL. Leave out all names and this is the bottom line. In sociology, these terms and conditions are set by the established enviroment in which you live.....the rest of this lector will take a whole semester to understand.

Answer 3

You have a lot of questions and that is why a Bible was given to us by God to explain all the details that you are asking. Too much for Yahoo Answers. Start today and read your Bible every day, and he answers will slowly come together for you.

Answer 4

God is good, he created everything, he gave us free will so yes we can decide our own future. God will always provide for us, he loves us the devil just want's us to stop God from having us because he hates God. How do you think he would treat you.....not very well i suspect.

Answer 5

If you believe in God, he is good, if you believe in Satan the devil then God is bad and the Devis is good! Dude, this is not Brain Surgery!

Answer 6

god is the creator of heaven and the earth.Jesus was there when god created the world but was also created by God and was sent to earth to cleanse all the people of earth's sins and Satan is the
greatest enemy of God.Is there a problem with that?

Answer 7

Satan is the most intelligent and most powerful being ever created. He is the second-most intelligent, second-most powerful being in existence, second only to God. In carrying out his activities, Satan often relies on the fact that humans, including Christians, do not give him full credit for his abilities. Non-believers, or those with weak faith, often refuse to believe he even exists. Christians often think (at least subconsciously) that God reduced the intelligence and/or power of Satan and his followers after they rebelled; there is no scriptural basis for this belief. Alternatively, Christians often think, at least subconsciously, that the mere fact they are good and demons are evil or the mere fact that the Christian believes in Christ is enough to protect them from demonic attacks. In fact, quite the opposite is true; someone once said "If you never meet the Devil on the road of life, it's probably because you are both headed in the same direction."

PRELIMINARY NOTE -- Distinguish carefully between the Devil and Demons. This distinction is quite overlooked in the Authorized Version, and even in the Revised Version, though the Revised Version notes it in the margin. The Devil and Demons are two entirely distinct orders of beings. The Bible doctrine regarding Satan is a very practical doctrine. There are certainly few doctrines that will go further than this in teaching us our utter dependence upon God and in driving us to prayer.
