Answer 1

It's for the same reason that Dubya hasn't "found" Osama yet. They need him to perpetuate fear.

Answer 2

That's interesting (the site)! Yet, the way I've learned, believe, and always will is that God has a time and place for everything. You know when a person has to tell another a serious secret but has to find the right time and place? Sometimes, that person will make a mistake (due to imperfection) and respond at the wrong place and time. Well, the same with Gid, only he's perfect. he chose a place and time to destroy the deveil (during Armegeddon). No one knows when and where until it happens. Also, if God changed His mind on desroying a city, town, or other place (in teh bible days), it's because he noticed hoe the people's hearts and behavior have chaged.

Answer 4

God created the devil. He saw that Lucifer would fall and become Satan. Knew it in advance, as He knows all things. Could have cancelled that creation and created another angel instead, but went ahead KNOWING that Lucifer would become prince of evil. Thus clearly it was intentional. There's no way around it. He knew what to expect, and got what he wanted. If he then went and destroyed his own creation, that would look pretty hypocritical wouldn't it?

Answer 5

quoting from that...

>>"By allowing evil to exist, God isn't merely trying to prove something to mankind, but also to all the created intelligences of the universe. Since people, or even the angels, won't necessarily take God's word for it on faith that some other way of life besides His works, He has allowed people to live and experience other ways of life. "<<

WHAT? how DARE people claim this is the same God as judaism?

this is CLEARLY polytheistic, and definitively NOT the God of abraham.

>>"God could have done away with not only Satan, but Adam and Eve also after they sinned. But He decided in advance that if they (the humans) did sin, He would pay the price personally for their sin."<<

that simply doesn't make any flippin sense. pay the price to whom? why would he have to pay this price? the whole thing just doesn't make sense.

Answer 6

G-d loves all his toddlers. to boot, the devil isn't in charge for humanity's crimes. Pointing the finger at him (if he exists) purely isn't nicely worth some time. in certainty, i think of G-d seems at people case to case. He would not intrude himself with this international, through fact that loose will is extra significant to him, and people who try this sh*t purely get what's coming to them finally. that's what i think of, a minimum of. there is often evil in the international, through fact that there is often human in the international. a similar logic is used to assert that there is often sturdy in this international, too.

Answer 7

here and now,
Thanks for the great site. I hadn't seen that one yet. It seems like a very good source for Biblical study.

Answer 8

You know what?

God has created Satan to filter out the wrong-doers from the pious people. Cuz if satan can overcome them, they don't deserve to go to heaven.

Therefore, in a way Satan is working for God to help him choose people to send to heaven =).

Answer 9

Easy answer that doesn't take that much crap to explain:
-God=Good
-Satan=Bad
these two are each other's reciporacal. So if one was gone, the other can't define itself.
-?=?
-God=?
then god would just have to blame things on minorities :o

Answer 10

I'll have to get to that site quickly. I am on the edge of my seat from the suspense.
