If God is so powerful, why does he go through such trouble to impress upon the devil that he is all powerful when he supposedly can just bit-ch slap him out of existence?

Maybe it is man that has to proove to himself that God is all powerful. Thus, man has created the idea that God has had to proove himself.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If there is a devil and a god then the burden of proof lies on God to prove to the Devil that he is almighty. If the devil and God really DO exist then maybe the reason that God doesn't end the devil's existence is because he is only claiming to be all knowing and all seeing. Either way he has yet to prove that he is all powerful to the devil by punishing him in any way.

technological information won't have the ability to even definitively coach which you exist 70 years in the past scientists have been claiming they had proved that inferior races have been polluting the gene pool and that they practiced eugenics and extermination one hundred seventy years in the past scientists have been claiming they had proved that lumps on the tops of peoples heads proved whether or no longer they have been criminals 370 years in the past scientists have been claiming they had proved that in case you had to treatment ague, all you had to do grew to become into walk to a crossroads in the lifeless of evening, rigidity a spike into the floor, take 3 steps backwards and spin in a circle, together as chanting a splash poem, then you quite could do away with the ague and the subsequent individual to stroll over the nail could get it 20 years in the past scientists have been swearing up and down that swifter-than-easy speed return and forth grew to become into genuinely impossible. on the instant they're quite particular that's obtainable. If I have been you, i does no longer make any absolute judgments approximately what's actual or no longer actual in step with what scientists say. a number of what they are asserting is unquestionably very useful, yet that does no longer advise you're able to be a fool. The word of God, on the different hand, never alterations. that's been the comparable because of the fact the initiating, and it would be the comparable till the very end.

The so called devil is a child of God, you should take comfort that he is slow with you too. There is no competition between God and the whatever. What you are seeing is mercy. Every child learns its own way... do not compare or confuse your state of progress with those things that are of a Universal nature.

Satan already knows his destiny. God is not proving he is more powerful. He is proving that his best people would not betray him, such as the devil himself and many demons, once angels.

Who said God had to prove Himself to the devil? God made satan...he was God's creation....because God had a plan from the beginning. He will take care of satan or the devil, at the time He has already chosen to do so...and satan already knows he has lost the battle...his day is coming...and he wants to take as many with him as he can.
God wanted his creation to love Him. Think about it. To truly love Him they would have to 'choose" to do so...you can't force people to love you ...that is what love is all about. So God had a plan.
He created man and woman...allowed them to ''choose' by listening to satan (the serpent) instead of Himself....and then planned how he would save them....but they had to "choose" to follow Him and He did that by sending His Son Jesus to die in their place....all they had to do was ask God to forgive them and accept Jesus' death in their place...and He still allows that choice today....but the day is coming when time will run out....He has a plan for satan...and a plan for all his creation. Read the book of John in the Bible and the book of Revelation. You won't understand it all...but the end is clearly defined...and many believe will be here fairly soon. To trust what God says and planned is the way to eternal life. Get a Bible and start listening....instead of imagining something else.

The Almighty God ...is all powerful, he is almighty, he is "I AM" The DEVIL is No more than than a fallen angel. An enemy of God Almighty. The DEVIL is not all powerful to the extent my prayers can beat his unholy, dumbass, at everyturn. No matter what the challenge. The DEVIL will not go away at this time. A prayer, not a ***** slap, will make him go away....Pray, pray, pray..............

There is a God, but there is no devil. Satan is just a character invented by people who wanted someone to blame for everything bad that happened to them- most of which was (and is) just the natural consequences of their actions

The devil's argument is not that he is not all powerful, but that he is unfair and his government is oppressive. So to b-slap him out of existence would prove Satan right.

Um, he doesn't. Remember, Satan was an angel, he knows exactly how powerful God is. The true question is "Why does Satan have to try to prove that he is as powerful as God, when he knows he isn't?"
