Based on the behaviors that are mentioned in the bible isn't God the evil one and Satan the good one?

Question

Based just on who killed more people. How can God be called anything but pure evil.

This isn't about which one is more powerful but rather a question of right and wrong and the actions that are in this bible about these characters!

The Spaced Guy

We do not have to be able to create anything to judge a God.
We must judge everyone to deturmine if we will like / love them. In order to do this we must be able to find things that are likable / lovable about them!
So if a God exists everyone MUST JUDGE GOD!!!

Answer 1

You will receive the famous obligatory answers: misinterpretation, mysterious ways, not literal, and because he's god/god god god.

Rational explanation: he is evil. When they were making their god up, the most powerful and feared one got the most converts.

Irrational christian explanation: god can't be evil. Whatever god does is not evil, since he's god. Therefore god isn't evil even when he does evil things.
Obviously, they don't know that their conclusion is their premise.

Answer 2

God killed well over 2 million (latest estimates), not including those murdered with the flooding of the earth at Noah's time. Satan is less than 20. Hmmm.........God appears to be the mass murdering type. Amazingly Satan wanted Adam and Eve to eat from the tree that granted them knowledge of good and evil, but God did not want them to do that. Maybe because that would expose God for what he really is, evil.

Answer 3

God like any other caring parent is hard on his children punishing them and teaching them lessons to better themselves.. i think we are being led in life by good and evil.. I mean i dont know anyone that has never lied stole or done something bad in life or some one who has been nothing but good perfect.. i think God put evil on this earth for us humans to learn from our mistakes to become better.. i also think that everyone is put on this earth for a reason with a time deadline some longer than other death is not punishment is just an accomplishment of the life God let us borrow and that eventually comes to an end..

Answer 4

It’s stressful to think of a being who exchange into as close to to God as Lucifer (devil) exchange into coming to have self belief that he ought to even do conflict with God, much less defeat Him. Even the main wicked ideas must be waiting to verify that the creature won't be able to probably cope with the writer. And yet devil tried to dethrone God and strives to on the present time to defy His authority, thwart His plans and harass His human beings. perhaps area of the reason being that satisfaction, the worst and maximum evil of all sins, has blinded devil to actuality

Answer 5

Wrong you have it all twisted. God is the gooooooooooooood one and satan is the evil one. Since the beginning God our father almighty created the world to be a paradise under his authority, however, satan being jealous of the fact that he did not have the ability to create human as his own image, instead God the almighty powerful God had the ability, he started creating destruction in heaven and was thrown down into earth. When God created earth it was under his own authority. He told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree in the middle of the Garden that bares knowledge of good and evil and Eve was deceived by satan to eat the from the tree, telling her that she would not die and that the only thing that would happen is that she would only know as much as God knew, but guess what that's not true because no one will ever know what Gods good intentions will bring us because he works each and everyday in a mysterious way. As you can see he created man as his own image and likeness, yea in flesh, but with a living spirit as himself. Isn't that marvelous. What's even more interesting is that God created the people and the earth to last forever, not to die, but when Satan came in and decieved Eve, death came upon the earth.

Answer 6

Besides, Satan does away with bad guys.

God is a whimsical character, that both loves and hates his children. His hand does not shake when he smites and dices little children, just because they were Babylonian. He drowned everyone except some VIP family, and he says he'll burn the world.

Satan just tempts people to steal, ***** and lie, which, in comparison, are but petty felonies.

Answer 7

Based on stories in the Bible, the Christian God certainly doesn't seem to be a loving god at all.

Answer 8

I would say that YHVH (the God of the bible) is on par with some of the most bloodthirsty Aztec Gods in terms of sheer evilness and wanton immorality. All the things he does and things that he condones are just sick, take for example: murder, rape, human sacrifice, slavery, cannibalism, scat, golden showers, his fecal fetish, etc...

Answer 9

Well... In all honesty, what right do we have to judge God? Can we create a universe? Can the creation chastise the creator?

Deuteronomy 7

9 "Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments; 10 but repays those who hate Him to their faces, to destroy them; He will not delay with him who hates Him, He will repay him to his face. 11 "Therefore, you shall keep the commandment and the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them.

If God can make and destroy entire worlds, shouldn't we just listen to him to begin with?

God promised us death for our disobedience and disbelief.

God promised us life eternal for our obedience and belief.

Those who hated God were wiped out in those days. That's all there is to it.

God gave the Israelites the land for two reasons... One, the nations of the area hated God and he pronounced a judgement upon them. Second, he promised Abraham the land. God kept his promises. Both to Abraham and those in general who hated God.

God is love but God is also just. A just God who says he is going to destroy the wicked will do so. Israel, as I recall, got spanked quite a few times.

Now, because of Jesus, we won't suffer through divine spankings like people did in those days.

However, at the end of things, those who obey and believe will live, those who don't will die.

God did not destroy them without a reason. People were warned. They did not heed the warning.

At any rate, God made the rule, not man. He defines what is good and what is evil. God declared death as a punishment for our own evil then it is what it is. A rigtheous judgement.

I can't sugar coat it without lying.

Answer 10

YOU make two common mistakes, first of all, you make a claim "Based just on who killed more people. How can God be called anything but pure evil?" you give no examples, (although I know some of the scriptures peole remove fomr context to support this heresy.) secondly your right, it isnt about who is More powerful, it is about Gods Justice. when God kills, he dosent simply war against humanity simply for the sake of seeing blood shed. he goes to war and when he does, it is because of sin. secondly, the majority of times in the BIble, it is God whom let his people wonder (Free will), and there demise are not because God striking them down, it is because of there own stupidity. same goes for the enemies of God, in many ways they bring destruction upon themselves. what it really comes down to is the race of mankind is so proud, boastful and arrogant, they reject God, reject His words, and when it blows up in there face, they want to blame God. But, it doent work that way, you reap what you sow.
