Why doesn't God work clear miracles like Satan does?

Question

When people who serve satan ask him money, satan gives it to them in seconds. They wake up and see their closet/draw full of money(Now that's a clear miracle).
When us christians ask God for money, He always leave us confused wondering if we prayed right. A relative or a friend shows up and help us(now we're confused wether it's God or not). People now might not believe if it's God coz it's our friend or relative who help us. Why God, why?

In case you're skeptical about the power of Satan. I'm from haiti and I used to see the power of Satan.

Answer 1

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.

There is no proof whatsoever that a supernatural being such as Satan gives people money. Indeed, it is most likely that Satan does not exist.

It's the Bible that confuses us. It says God's commandment is "thou shalt not kill". But he does not live up to his word - God is a hypocrite. He kills an entire planet, two cities, a nation, and millions of people while Satan kills only 10 people and then that is because he was tempted by God to do so. Neither God nor Satan is a good model or figure to follow. Further, there is no evidence that a God exists either. Everything that we have discovered can be explained without a God. I don't think that either exists.

Believe in yourself instead. The power is within you, not with some supposed supernatural God or Satan.

Answer 3

When satan makes his works they are not like God's, God knows what is good for us and what is not, when satan does his works, he also covers u interest, it's either long vain life and after that eternal torture in hell. So if i live 100 years asking him for stuff, then living the rest of the infinite life being tortured by him, slapped, being freakin scared all the time, seeing yourself in a dragons mouth and some other nasty things?!....not very interesting i say. I rather follow God, even if his miracles take a life because i know it will be for a reason. But God's miracles are depending in what he thinks about them, if he knows it's good he delivers it right away. And God puts people to help us, because that way u learn that God also has people that work for him.

This is the most interesting puzzle of all. Let's take a comparison of St. Nicholas and the man Faust who made a satanic deal and see who wins, God or satan.

St. Nicholas was a young rich man who wanted to serve God. One day God told him to take a bag of gold and throw it into the window of poor family. (See the outcome when I write N)

There was a man named Faust who traded his name for a firebrand. He thought he could have anything he wanted with the firebrand. (See outcome when I write F)

Nicholas' gold saved the daughters of a poor man from a life conscripted as prostitutes, when he bought back their freedom and had enough for a dowry for them to marry well. St. Nicholas is known all over the world for this.

Faust Firebrand was similar to Firestone tires, that lost their ability to perform and the company went under. Every time Faust used the firebrand he burned out some of his memory, and every time someone he burned returned, they remembered that Faust was evil. Finally, they used the Firebrand on him and burnt out his soul. Now he is doomed forever to wander about calling out: Whose on Faust?

N: Word of St. Nicholas speeds around the globe every Christmas on the wings of childhood memories, reminding little children to be good and say their prayers.

F: ?

Let's see if we can see a miracle A miracle is a mirror in a circle.
If the miracle comes from God, we can see his reflection in it. It completes a full circle when we give him thanks.

If a miracle were from satan, it would be a reflection of our own face, we would believe it came from him, and we would lose our memory of the Face of the One who really loves us.

So who's face do you see on the Sun? Smile because God loves you. We pray that His Will is done. And His Will is that we go to school, work hard, pray and make sacrifices. Do those things, and be kind and merciful to others, especially to orphans. You will always have enough.

Answer 5

I see where you are going.. and you have a point!

But Satan uses worldy and fool ways to demonstrate he is there, waiting for us to be stupid and weak, however, the way God has for us make us work, he helps us and send this friend to either give us some comfort, which will give us strength to go look for that money ourselves, or maybe our friend could come with some idea that we could use to make money? It wouldn't be correct if God gave us everything we want, that's satan way, seducing us to be weak. What other probe do we need to know God is there? this world, nature, the universe... everything so perfect and in balance....

Answer 6

It has never been and never will be God's plan to grant instant gratification. God has always tested our faith and sincerity. He does not do things openly to satisfy men's curiosity because He wants us to live by faith. He does not give us our desires on a silver platter because that would eliminate our ability to choose for ourselves. In order for us to grow in character, learning right from wrong by the experiences we have, there must be time to think things through and make choices for ourselves. If we want help making our decisions, then we ask God, in the name of Christ if we have chosen correctly. If we are right, we will feel good inside. We will have a feeling of peace and calmness. If our choice is wrong when we ask about it, then we will feel uncomfortable. We will be full of doubt and thus we may know that we chose wrong and we need to think it through again.
Satan is the king of self gratification. He wants to make things easy for us to take away our agency and eliminate our growth. That is why he was rejected as our Saviour and Christ selected. Christ upheld God's plan and Satan has been trying ever since to destroy it.
Take courage, the easy way out is usually not the good way.

Answer 7

Well first of all money isn't, as some people believe, everything.
Second, if God doesn't want you to get a closet full of money, you won't.
What God wants you to get, you'll get, and no matter how much you pray, if God doesn't want you to get something, then you won't get it.

Don't you think that the existence of the universe is a clear enough miracle?

Answer 8

God put us on this earth for a reason.
Money? There are more important things than money...
God gave us the health to go GET money
money comes and goes. People don't realize that money isn't everything. Look at Bill Gates...he could buy anything he wanted...and yet...he keeps on saving because he's so greedy.

Answer 9

Well i believe in the devil would entice you because you have a weak spirit.But don't give the fool all the credit the Lord is always with you..Build on yourself and stay away from the bad things because he wants to control you.May the Lord bless you Peace

Answer 10

The inner workings of God would require more faith which the human person needs. Faith is a gift from God
