According to Job chapter one, Satan can do nothing without God's OK. The answer is "both".
David was making himself vulnerable due to his escalating pride over his exploits and the city of Jerusalem. He was seeing himself as the architect of God's city and land, and not God Himself. Because of the hedge of protection around David placed there by God, Satan would require this lowered to gain access to his spiritual hearing. God agreed, lowered the protection, and Satan was able to tempt him accordingly.

for sure Satanists use the Bible -- they're an offshoot of Judaism and Christianity. devil is the total Evil of J/C learn. different religions have a similar large evil yet he/she/it truly is named via yet another call. I see those passages in yet otherwise than the translation you presented, even if. they could also element out the instantly ahead concept that devil is a fallen Angel forged down from Heaven. There will be more beneficial than one brilliant and morning movie star (both Jesus and devil ought to in good structure interior this description in basic terms as an apple will be both a Granny Smith or a delicious and both be apples). also, can't both God and devil have directed David antagonistic to Israel? celebration: both your mom and your college instructor informed you no longer to apply drugs, maximum excellent? In different words, one action will be taken via many and it truly is also so contained in the Bible.

Satan and God are opposite sides of the same coin. They define each other like yin & yang. They complete each other. Neither could exist without the other.
Without Satan who needs God? He'd be out of a job.

You are taking two verses from totally different historical periods and trying desperately to convince people that the pronouns refer to the same antecedents, and they do not.
You'll have to get up earlier in the morning if you want to pull this off.
