God wants souls in heaven to praise Him and partake of His goodness
The devil wants souls becuase he's miserable,vengful and spitful, an wants to bring others down to suffer with him
Now the question is.....Why do people persist in bowing down to the devil,claiming that Jesus is not God,claiming there is no God becuase they cant put Him in their tiny little test tubes and beakers, and weather you think you know or not, why would people take their chances with the lake of fire instead of accepting Jesus and bookinb a one way ticket to Heaven?

This is what the scripture means:
“The fruitage of the righteous one is a tree of life, and he that is winning souls is wise,” says another proverb. (Pr 11:30) The righteous person, by speech and example, wins souls, that is, by listening to him, persons get spiritual nourishment, are led to serve God, and receive the life that God makes possible.
They are encouraged to serve God and may eventually receive the life that God makes possible.

Yeremyah 8:8—
How can you say; We are the wise, and the Law of Yahweh is with us? Behold, the lying pen of the scribes has falsified them, and written them wrong!
That's why, today, we have foolish sounding names like "Jesus",' which do not honor or glorify our Heavenly Father Yahweh, because they carry none of the original intent and meaning.
The Empty Name "Jesus''
The New Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 7, pages 970-971, tells us of the name Jesus:
JESUS (THE NAME). In English the name Jesus is a transliteration of the Latin form Iesus, which represents the Greek form of the Hebrew name ye-šûa`. The latter is a late form, by vowel dissimilation, of the name yôšûa`, itself a contracted form of yhôšûa`, "Yahweh is salvation." This was the name of Moses' successor. *Josue (Joshua), son of Nun. Both because of the fame of this early hero of Israel and because of the meaning of the name, many men both in the OT and in the NT bore the name of Josue or Jesus. The Septuigint generally uses the Greek form where the Hebrew text has the form yôšûa` or y'hôšûa`. So also the NT, in referring to Josue, son of Nun, calls him Jesus (Acts 7:45; Heb 4:8). An allusion is made in Mt. 1:21 to the meaning of the name ("Yahweh is salvation"): Joseph is told by the angel of the Lord to name the child born of Mary's virginal conception "Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins."
Also please note that there is no "J" in the Hebrew or Greek alphabet so how can the Saviors name be Jesus?
As far as Yahshua being Yahweh, please read the following scriptures. The preexisting savior is another false teaching.
Yahchanan Mark 12:28-30—
28 Then one of the scribes came, and listened to all their discussion, and had noted how well He answered. So he asked Him; What is the first commandment of all?
29 And Yahshua answered Him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israyl, Yahweh is our Father. Yahweh is ONE.
30 And you must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Yahchanan 14:28—
You have heard that I told you: I go away, but come again to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, for the FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.
Yahchanan 12:49-50—
49 For I have not spoken on My own; but the Father Who sent Me gave Me the Laws—what I should say and what I should speak.
50 And I know that His Laws are life everlasting; so whatever I speak, I am saying exactly what My Father has told Me to say.
Keeping the Laws is the key to the Kingdom. That is why no sensibe and truthful person can accept Jesus is that it is all falsehood.

Your logic is so convoluted that there is little point in trying to answer you. But I find it humorous that you can believe in a God that is so petty that he creates things just so those things will praise him, and damns to hell for all enternity those things he creates that find it impossible to believe that something so powerful could be so pettty.
There is no God. There is no Jesus. There is a Tree of Life though. See the link below.

A wise man has original thoughts that he has accumulated throughout his life. A fool can only parrot a five thousand year old fairy tale that was written before man worked his way up to the dark ages.

You are wise in that you recognize the truth of Scripture, Maurice....most unbelievers are clueless as to what the Scripture really says.
So they criicize what they don't know ...usually they lack courage to read the entire Bible and it is simply easier to criticize thopse of us who both know what it means and have acted on what it says.

The Devil is very deceptive. He has ways of making BAD look like GOOD.
