He's appointed as king of his own HUGE spiritual domain by God, where he roasts many more souls than heaven has, so in size, it must be a bigger roasting space than heaven is a rewarding space for good souls. He seems to have so much powerful influence on earth, as Earth too seems to be all Satan's. Wow, so God Gives Satan power on Earth, his own Kingdom in Hell, which must be a VERY big spritual place for roasting human mammal's souls. Or maybe, the souls are shrunk to fit them in? hmm. Anyway, Why did God give Satan so much? he must really be partial to Satan.....

OR, maybe God has his heaven outside of the universe and God owns all the other inhabited planets and he just flew his partner in spiritual crime a bone and gave him the earth and his own Spiritual realm as a comprimise...
Human mammals really got screwed in this bargaining for spirits deal.

Every "good guy" needs an enemy. That is why Bush never went after Osama Bin Laden.
Yes I'm comparing Bush to God, both useless.

It only seems that way right now because, at the moment, Satan rules the world (1John 5:19)
God is allowing suffering at the moment but he does have a plan in place. Jesus taught his disciples to pray that God's Kingdom would come and that his will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are living in the very last days of this system of things (2 Tim 3:1-5; Matthew 24; Luke 21). Soon that Kingdom that Jesus talked about, which is God's Government, will destroy all the political/religious systems/governments on this earth (Daniel 2:44), Satan will be abyssed (Revelation 20:3) and we can expect to live as one united family under God's rulership. Satan will eventually be a non-issue because he will cease to exist.
Satan has nothing on YHWH!
I always laugh when I read that people tell Jehovah's Witnesses that they worship Satan to get rid of us. We are NOT afraid of him. Our God is way more powerful.

God has allowed Satan alot of leeway because Satan has made challenges that need answering.
Satan said God was a liar. Genesis 3:4.
Satan said all humanity obey God out of SELFISH motive, that no one would stay loyal out of love, if it meant going through hard times. Job 2:4.
How does one prove these challenges to be false?
God's decision was to stand back for awhile and let Satan rule.
See if Satan rule would be better.
You'll note Satan said to Jesus (Luke 4:5) that control of human society was put in his (Satan's) hand.
1 John 5:19 says the same thing.
The centuries have proved Satan rule is tragically bad.
By now, we know who the real liar is!
When God decides the point has been proven beyond question, He will intervene.
BTW Satan does not burn people in hell.
There is no fire in hell ....because hell is the grave, 6 feet under.
Its not about exstacy or torture.
Its about existing or not existing.

Satan had a choice- Lucifer was of God's angels and he chose to rebel and take some of the angels with him, to rule on the earth. But I know the end of the story- Jesus died on the cross 2,000 yrs ago for my sin, and to destroy Satan for eternity. He allows Satan to be the prince of the earth, until Jesus returns to the earth- HE IS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

The Biblical God and Satan are one and the same. Two sides of the same coin.
Total control.

If someone is the giver than the giver is obviously stronger, if GOD gave him control than that means HE can take it away. The sailor does not command when the Captain is on board.
Jesus is the truth, the way and the life!

You are wrong. God is so much stronger and greater than Satan. God have you the choice to follow Satan or follow Him - that is your choice - that is real love - to choose. God could have made robots - but He gave us free will to choose. That is such great love - He is a great God. I pray you find the Truth - Jesus Christ - before it is too late.
