Do you think that it's possible there is a God and Devil, and that Satan wrote the bible to cause confusion around the world?

Yes, I do believe Satan would have a lot of good things to say. He is the father of lies. Now, there are many people who read the bible without question, and praise the lord. But there are many people who read the bible and question the things being told, and it sounds like lies. To those people who read the bible, and it sounds like bullsht, they stop believing in God.
Could the bible and the Christian religion be a lie, to distract people from a true God?
Who says the Christian religion is the correct way to worship? "God"? We can't say for certain that the book was actually written by men through God, or by men only claiming to be influenced by God, or by men influenced by Satan, thinking they were influenced by God, or if they both had a hand in the bible.
OK, I know the bible wasn't written by Christians. But you all know what I mean.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

I have under no circumstances understood why such a lot of folks are so in opposition to a Book that claims Love Everyone and Do Good to Everyone and Don't Lie, cheat, or scouse borrow from No one. And it additionally tells us the tale of the Jewish folks and the way Jesus got here and Died for our dangerous deeds. The e-book does say that just a few will see the reality and for the reason that God has opened my eyes...The Bible and Death are essentially the most honest matters I have ever obvious. Matter of Fact the Bible has out lived my first-class first-class first-class first-class first-class first-class first-class first-class first-class first-class Grandparents...I will die however the Bible will nonetheless be right here. Muslims are killing within the title of God at present! Why do not you cross Help the Christians which are being beheaded at present only for being over there serving to to feed the deficient and construct shelters for them.

Everything that ever was, is, and will be, is known to Him and was created for His pleasure and love. Satan, the Bible, Jesus, Religion, Hell, Heaven, they are all a result of God because he made the initial call. Therefore everything bad in this world, everything confusing you can blame(although it is highly discouraged) on Him.

No but he seems to be helping a lot of people twist its truth. It is never OK with God for us to hate people only actions. But you are right that Satan is the Father of Lies and the author of confusion.

And satan would praise God over and over in the bible? God is praised over and over and over again in the bible. Plus those who have a spiritual connection know the bible to be true because it matches what God directly tells them.

actually, the contradictions you point out in the bible are errors of science(creation story) the bible was NOT written to be taken literally but to be interpeted for its religious truths that apply to all of our lives.."don't kill, don't steal, tTRUST IN GOD " these make sense to me!! HOW DO these quotes in the bible indicate satan trying to trick us. email me how you interpeted religious lies. you will not be able to because there aren't any. how do things in the bible sound like lies from satan?!. (honor your father and mother, have faith in god,... you are ignorant my friend.

Do you think Satan would ever have anything good to say?
Use some common sense, The Good Lord made it possible to give us the gift of knowledge through the word, and protect us from evil, what you choose to do with it will be your fate.
