satan wants us to disobey and sin..... right?
then when we do he should be pleased...... why would he want to punish us for doing what pleases him.
satan is the ruler of hell then he is in control not god.......right?
he should be pleased with our sinful ways and want to reward us...
why do people think he will punish us?

The concept that those who end up in Hell will be punished by Satan is unscriptural. These folks will be punished by God Himself. Also, it's unscriptural to believe that Satan "rules" in Hell at this moment. The Book of Revelation tells us that he won't be cast into Hell until AFTER Armageddon. Currently, Satan can even enter Heaven! Read Job 1:6-12, Job 2:1-10 and Revelation 12:10, which explains this.
It's true, though, that Satan wants us to disobey God because he was a murder and a liar from the beginning (John 8:44). Because he bears so much resentment toward God and His people, all Satan wants to do is mislead us. This could mean misleading both the saved and the unsaved into sin; or, better yet, misleading the unsaved into rejecting God permanently.
This whole battle between God and Satan goes way beyond Satan's desire to ruin us. We're merely pawns to him. What he REALLY wants is to prevent as many people from accepting Jesus Christ as possible.
Peace.

Satan loves it when we sin, becuase we disobey God when we do so, and Satan is God's #1 enemy...
about us being judged and being sent to hell on judgement day, Satan won't be in control of hell then,,,so you're surprise he will be burning in hell with everyone else for causing so much sins and pain to others

Satan doesn't want to punish you, he wants to decieve you into thinking that all is well and you will have no problems.
Yes, he rules hell and he wants everyone to think it is a perpetual party.
He is pleased with our sin but he is no rewarder.
He is only a deciever.
And God is still in control. Satan will someday meet his end as will all of us too.

Satan says "you deserve to go out to the club and get drunk because you've worked hard all week".
He don't tell you how sick you are going to be afterwards, or that you are going to waste your much needed and hard earned money on stuff that is going to make you sick.
Satan says "look at that fine girl/hunk. A little pleasure with that one is just what you need".
Satan don't tell you about the possible disease they might carry. Or the potential for pregnancy. Then if you get pregnant you can just abort the child, after all it's legal.
Satan seeks to kill and destroy. Satan is a liar and the father of lies.

well i think you have a very good point but in all reality its the christians who are sinful and hateful where satan is nice and says do what you feel is right. so lets see christians believe in confessions and satan says enjoy life to the fullest.
heres my two cents as well i think the best way to get to heaven is by doing good being good without accepting a god.
satan isnt the name of that god either but heres the name of satan from the hindhu belief its Indra.

Satan rewards the ones that follow him, but it is eternal separation from God. Read Luke 16:19-31

Right. He doesnt care about you he is a player that gets what he wants and moves on. He uses you to get back at God. When you are dead and in his sway he will look at you and laugh for being so foolish. Only in hell and only for the moment. In the end God plans on throwing him and all others that follow into the lake of fire. I believe that Lucifer does reward those who are bad. He gives them little tokens of money or fame but he also corrupts these gifts and nothing good comes from them in the end. P.S. When i say YOU i dont mean you literally i mean it for everyone in general. Peace to you.

The farther you are away from God, the more Satan can manipulate you. Start doing a lot of really bad things and you'll realize how easy it gets. Going away from Gods grace isn't Satan's punishment, he's getting you to do it yourself.

NO! satan is a lier and a deceiver, and he is not in control he is a prisoner of hell not the leader it is not a party there the bible says there is weeping and GNASHING OF TEETH! God is in control and he gave Jesus all authority in heaven and earth and hell , Jesus is God and in control, you should seek to please him, and the devil knows when you sin he tells God on you and god lets him punish you because he hates you and God! Get it. Seeek Jesus! And flee resist the devil and he will flee from you!

Well in ways he is punishing you by blinding you from the truth. Cause God didn't create hell for you, God created it for satan and his angels. All those who reject Jesus will end up there because satan has lied to you.
