And if God loves Satan, should we?
2006-09-13 17:36:43 · update #1
Of course he does dear...Satan keeps him busy. Without Satan what would he do? Without Satan's evil he wouldn't be able to show us how good he is....How would he get us to worship him......
This is kind of like asking Does George Bush love Osama Bin Laden....Of course he does because OBL give him the excuse to keep attacking and dominating ( or trying to)new parts of the world....
Its the same analogy!!!!

Good question! I would say "yes" but the thing is Satan doesn't love God. And Satan knows 100% there is a God.
I don't think we should love satan because, satan is everthing God is not. The only Spirit we should love is God.

Philosophical question --- if God loves all, then he must love Satan. If God loves Satan, you should love Satan but the important thing is you don't have to follow his ways. Like if you are a missionary, a social worker, a teacher, a doctor, a counsellor or someone in a caring profession, you care about the people you serve, no matter how bad they are, yet you don't condone their ways of doing things, let alone doing the same things yourself.

God loves everyone but Satan is the father of evil.

Well, Satan was thrown out of heaven by God and damned to hell by same because he was jealous of how that it seemed that god loved humans more than his angels. Satan committed a sin in God's eyes and was therefore damned to hell because of that sin. But since God is all-knowing (past, present, and future), he knew that Satan would commit this sin, but nothing to stop it. So does he love him, that's an interesting question. If he loved him, why would he let him damn himself? He knew that Satan would damn himself and let it happen anyway. So, thinking the way a christian would think, they'd say yes. But if God loves everyone so much, and then let's them do the stuff that will damn to hell and knows they are going to do these as well, how could he love everyone if he already knows who will love him and who will not? So, basically, that throws that whole free will out the window and so no, god does not love Satan or anyone else that sins against him since it has been decided who he will save and who will burn in hell. But he says everyone should love him, even though he KNOWS who is going to go to heaven and who won't. So I reiterate that god does not love Satan. He just loves to see people grove in front of him. Blackmailing son of a *****.

If, as Christians, we believe that God loves everyone and everything He created, then I guess your proposition must be right. You may love your rebellious child intensely, but you have to try to do something about it (remember the recent case of a Mother "shopping" her own son?). In God's case He came to earth in human form to counter Satan's influence. The New Testament will tell you all about it.

Yes God does as He created him like the rest of the souls before the creation of the physical universe from his own body God created all the souls that are and will be.
He created SATAN to do a specific job on Earth. to be the tempter of the human soul to try and lead it away from GODS laws and Commandments.And to be extra hard on Jesus to see if HE was a son that could get his job done .

I think love is nature of God, so God should love Satan. And hate is nature of Satan, so Satan should hate God. After all, Satan is a fallen angle named Lucifer. He used to be one of the best angle God created. But he became jealous and fallen in sins.
I think we should not hate Lucifer personally, but hate all the deeds/sins he had already did. Just like Luke Skywalker hate Darth Vader but love Anakin Skywalker.

Hmmm, I guess he once a upon a time did, but Satan was just too much he needed to go! He's like that little brat of child that needs juvenile facility to straighten him up, only Satan never wanted to come back home.

God loves everyone apparently, so I suppose he does. They hang out on weekends and stuff, but Satan doesn't feel the same way. Poor god. lol
