You are not lost; nothing God creates can be lost, for God cannot be lost, and God creates through a loving action upon Himself (or Itself...Herself...whatever one prefers.) That is why there is no devil, no demons, no sin, no punishment for what God knows are merely the dream-images of His Beloved. God is All That Is.

I do accept as true with you yeah, yet i do no longer neccesariyl see a contradiction right here, the way devil is in lots of cases seen is the only that's the temptation that pulls you far flung from God, it extremely is the doing of no stable. So conversing approximately Jesus's temptation, nicely his ideas, despite the fact that thought you have as a reason, that's the devil, that's what the devil skill. Why are you apart from the surely call devil, in case you prefer to supply it a undeniable characteristic then accomplish that. I additionally do no longer think of there any of the based religions accompanied in a strict way may bring about God. additionally I dont concern God or get the belief of fearing God...

the devil is real. He is not just a symbol for evil, nor is he an imaginary figure that people dreamed up to explain the existence of evil. Evil is real—and so is Satan or the devil.
Don't picture Satan, however, the way the cartoons do—as a comic figure with a red suit and a pitchfork who bothers people sometimes but otherwise has little influence. Satan is a very powerful cosmic spiritual personality who has one goal: to stop God's work wherever it is taking place. To accomplish this he schemes and works every way he can, and he is behind all the evil that takes place in the world. His name—Satan—literally means "Adversary"—and that is what he is: our adversary.
More than that, the devil works to deceive us and convince us that his promises are true and God's Word is a lie. Jesus said that the devil "was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44). Don't ever take Satan lightly!
But one other thing needs to be said about the devil: He is a defeated foe! By His death and resurrection Jesus Christ conquered all the forces of death and Hell and Satan, and when we belong to Christ, we are safe from all these terrors forever. Make sure of your salvation by giving your life to Christ today.

Well, I don't know if you are lost, but if you are a Christian, you are not on the right track. See, God is the good one, our Creator, our Father, and we must seek his forgiveness and embrace his love. But how could there be good without any evil? The Devil exists and he is the opposite of God. It's obvious and normal. Without evil, there wouldn't be any good, because you wouldn't know how to define good. There has to be a balance, and it all starts from the primordial separation. God in the heavens, and the Devil in hell. But understand this, if you believe in the devil does not mean you listen to him, or you abide by his rules. It means you are aware of the forces that exist out there, and you must prove strong enough to remain near God. You are not lost, iyou are merely confused, or probably curious, which is not so bad.

Which god do you believe in? The God from the bible? the god from the koran? you have to be more specific. I'm going to assume that you believe in the God of the bible. if that's the case, the bible clearly teaches the existense of the devil. The bible doesn't teaches that one is lost for not believing in the existense of the devil but for not believing in Jesus. I invite you to read the bible. When you pick the best answer I'd like you to tell us why you don't believe in the devil ok?

You are by no means lost. Not all Christians believe in the devil. I am a devout Christian and I do not believe in the devil its self but I do believe in the evil that the devil represents.

No, you had found a very good thing in believing in God and not in the devil. Since God represents very good and the devil represents the very bad.

Well if you believe in God then you should believe in his word,and the word talks about the devil I would say you are lost.But everone gets a little lost religiously I mean.No ONE is perfect.But you should believe in the devil he is the one to blame for all of your troubles not God unless you brought your troubles upon yourself.Like for example if you did something bad then your going to get in trouble for it.....hopefully now days people get away with some much crap it's ridiculous.
