Why did God create Satan in order to lead us to sin and then punishes us for eternity,instead of him?

Question

If the police induce some one to commit a crime, the law says they did wrong and their case is dismissed. God is to blame for our sin.

Answer 1

GOD did not create satan to lead us into sin.... satan was an angel, he was one of the high angels.... he wanted to take GODS place so their was war in heaven and satan lost and got sent out of heaven... GOD created hell for satan and all the other fallen angels who made war against GOD... but since sin came into the world GOD has given us free will to choose him or to choose to follow sin....

have you ever read the book of geneis GOD told eve not to eat the apple but she did because the devil who was the snake deceived her... so GOD is not the one to blame satan is....

Answer 2

Light exists. Darkness is non-existence, it is the non-existence of light.
There is no planet sending us darkness. There is a planet sending us light. Light has a physical source. Darkness has none. A room "full of darkness" can be transformed in an instant by just flicking a switch and all the darkness in the universe can do nothing about it.
This analogy can be used to show that what we call bad or evil is just the absence of good. For example to be cruel is considered bad. But cruelty is the absence of a moral quality which is kindness.
Cruelty is not caused by an unknown or malefic force it is only the absence of a moral virtue which is kindness.
Satan or the Devil were pedagogical notions used to educate humanity when it was in it's infancy.
In many countries small children are warned not to walk into the darkness because there is a malefic force or person hidden in the darkness. An adult knows that this is not true however this is used to warn the child that he could get hurt if he walks in the darkness without seeing where he goes. A child can not understand a more elaborate or abstract reason. But if we tell the same story to the same child when he is grown up he will certainly laugh at the notion.

Answer 3

So you're saying that when the police appear as a child on the Internet in order to lure pedophiles that it is wrong? Satan did lead anyone to sin, he merely presented the argument that perhaps God was wrong and that there was a lot more to what he was saying. It was up to Adam to accept or reject this argument.

Answer 4

Here we go again. God created Satan, Satan is EVIL, Satan MADE me do it therefor because God created Satan it is God's fault.

God does NOT induce anyone to commit sin, and just as in your analogy about the Police, but they do put TEMPTATION OUT THERE, IF YOU GIVE IN THEN IT IS YOUR FAULT, AND THE COPS WIN THEIR CASE. God does the same thing he allows Satan to tempt you, IT IS UP TO YOU IF YOU FOLLOW IT. SO I GUESS THAT WOULD MAKE IT YOUR FAULT, WOULDN'T IT?

Talk about circular like others say about Christians defending their bible. Here is a thought.

We become the victims of our own wrong desires. Moreover, we live in an age when many simply refuse to feel responsible for themselves.

We set our own thermostats as to temptations.

Some seek to brush aside conscience, refusing to hear its voice. But that deflection is, in itself, an act of choice, because we so desired.

Like it or not, therefore, reality requires that we acknowledge our responsibility for our desires. It is up to us.

God will facilitate, but He will not force.

They may have used their agency to choose evil, but they usually forget that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction"—every choice has an accompanying consequence.

AT WHAT POINT DON'T PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE ANY OR ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CHOICES AND ACTIONS AND QUIT ACTING LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN ALWAYS BLAMING SOMEONE ELSE?

Oh! I forgot the GREATEST LIE EVER TOLD----SATAN DOES NOT EXIST.

Answer 5

Satan chose to fall.
Eve chose to believe satan and eat of the tree of life.
Adam chose to believe Eve that eating said fruit was ok.
Mankind can choose to walk in the light,or wallow in the dark side.
If you pick up a small cut which goes septic,then spreads,and finally ends up having to be amputated you can't blame God for 'being punished'- blame your own stupidity in letting it get that far in the first place.
It's all about making the right choice.
Be good,and reap the rewards here,and hereafter.
God bless.

Answer 6

Satan is here to cause disorder. He wants people
to believe he is the light to freedom. Guilty pleasures come with a big cost. You lose your ticket to everlasting life. Satan was cast out of
Heaven to rule on Earth for 100 years, a very short time from 1914(World War I)
After the Rapture, the Book of Revelations will go into effect. The end result? Jesus returns to Earth
to establish his Kingdom of Paradise. Satan and his co-conspirators will suffer in the lake of sulphur forever. He(Satan) will reappear to others who are born after Paradise is restored. After another ill-fated attempt to persuade others to follow him, God finally will let him burn forever.

Answer 7

God created his angels perfectly and with free will. The same goes with Adam and Eve. Unfortunately, Satan rebelled and wanted to show that he can mislead the creation of God.
Now Adam and Eve knew the consequences of eating the fruit from that "one" tree, the tree of knowledge of good and bad. Satan convinced Eve, who then convinced Adam to partake of the fruit. They knew God would sentence them to death, yet they went and ate the fruit. They eventually got the boot from paradise and did die, around 900 years later. If not for this act, they could have lived forever, as well as their descendents.
So, did God make imperfect beings? No. He gave them free will, and they made choices that were consequential. They knew what they were doing. No excuses whatsoever.

Answer 8

Satan was one of Gods greatest worshipers. So much so that God raised him to live among the angels. It was only when Satan refused to prostrate to Adam as he thought he was Superior, that God caste him form heaven. Satan was so made he said he would make it his mission to lead his creations from God. So you can see Satan chose his own path. You will be judged for the acts you commit. You like everyone else has free will and should exercise it in the correct manner and not try to blame others for there own actions.

Answer 9

You have it somewhat confused -
First of all, God did not create Satan in order to lead anyone to sin; satan was created to guard the mercy seat - thats the throne that was reserved for the Christ after crucifixion; satan wanted to be the begotten Son of God instead of Jesus. He rebelled and there was a great war.
God is not punishing any of us for satans sin - satan has already been through judgement, condemned to die at the end of the 1000 year period of teaching when Christ returns. He will be turned to ashes from within, as Ezekiel writes.
With your police example, i think what you are referring to is entrapment - no, God did not entrap anyone to commit a sin -
believe me, we need not be trapped into sin - we sin just fine without any help. We will pay for our own sins, not anyone else's.

Answer 10

when God created Satan, he was not evil but he was one of the angels in heaven, and was called Lucifer , but Satan began to get prideful and feel that he was more powerful than God, and a group of angels joined him in rebelling against God, when God saw this he kicked satan out of heaven and sent him to live in the pit of hell, along with those who accompanied him, every since then lucifer has been around deceiving many, so that they would eventually join him in hell because he didnt want to be the only one there, and when adam and eve were created they knew no sin until they were deceived by satan in the form of a serpant and ever since then, sin has been instilled in us from birth, so when you are born you are automatically a sinner, as God punished lucifer, and adam and eve for sinning, he also punishes us if we dont ask for forgiveness, because thankfully God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for us and forgive us from our sins, so all we have to do is ask for forgiveness and it will be given to us, sometimes w/ discipline other times withought, but if we continue to disobey God and not ask for forgiveness we will receive the ultimate punishement of eternal life w/ satan in hell where there is ever burning fire, so.....God did not create Satan in order to lead us to sin....and satan is receiving the worst punishement possible..its your choice whether or not you want to spend eternity with him

Answer 11

G-D did not create Satan. 'Satan'at one time was a favored angel,who became jealous of G-D. He dared to overthrow G-D with the legions of angels he had convinced to be on his side in the rebellion. Satan and his legions were cast out of Heaven as a result.They are said to dwell forever in the fiery pit.
