Is GOD THE DEVIL?

Answer 1

No.

"But deliver us from evil."

The last petition to our Father is also included in Jesus' prayer: "I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one." (Jn 17:15)

In this petition, evil is not an abstraction, but refers to a person, Satan, the Evil One, the angel who opposes God.

The devil is the one who "throws himself across" God's plan and his work of salvation accomplished in Christ.

The Bible teaches that Satan is a fallen angel. Scripture sees in this being a fallen angel, called "Satan" or the "devil". (Cf. Jn 8:44; Rev 12:9)

Satan was at first a good angel, made by God: "The devil and the other demons were indeed created naturally good by God, but they became evil by their own doing."

Scripture speaks of a sin of these angels. (2 Pet 2:4) This "fall" consists in the free choice of these created spirits, who radically and irrevocably rejected God and his reign.

The devil "has sinned from the beginning"; he is "a liar and the father of lies." (1 Jn 3:8; Jn 8:44)

It is the irrevocable character of their choice, and not a defect in the infinite divine mercy, that makes the angels' sin unforgivable. "There is no repentance for the angels after their fall, just as there is no repentance for men after death."

Scripture witnesses to the disastrous influence of the one Jesus calls "a murderer from the beginning," who would even try to divert Jesus from the mission received from his Father. (Jn 8:44; cf. Mt 4:1-11)

"The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil." (1 Jn 3:8)

The power of Satan is, nonetheless, not infinite.

He is only a creature, powerful from the fact that he is pure spirit, but still a creature.

He cannot prevent the building up of God's reign.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

It is not as silly a question as you might think.

To those who only superficially read the Bible, without any other history, the idea that somehow the ancient Jews, or even christians worship the devil as god in disguise seems a wicked conspiracy lie.

Except one thing- There is strong historical fact in the gospels written by Jesus himself that the central theme of his attack on Sadducee Judaism is that it was satanic worship in disguise.
See:
http://one-faith-of-god.org/new_testament/apocrypha/sadducees/sadducees_0010.htm

In fact Jesus in his gnostic gospels is quite explicit about it- that YHWH or Yaltabaoth is Satan, pretending to be God. This accounts for why God was a "jealous" god and why God kept encouraging the ancient Jews to kill people, including ritually murdering women and children.

Of course, the idea that christianity worships the devil as God and not God is a horrendous concept- and almost certainly to be rejected by most christians.

That is exactly what Jesus himself faced when he created the Nazarene/Gnostic religion.
See:
http://one-faith-of-god.org/new_testament/apocrypha/nazarenes/nazarenes_0010.htm

As a result, the Sadducees fought back and appointed Paul of Tarsus with the mission of creating a counter movement against Jesus and the apostles- by literally highjacking his message, his religion and even Jesus himself.

So today when Catholic celebrate Christmas on december 25th, the festival of Saturnia, of Dagan both blood sacrifice demon gods, so when Christians say "Amen" in reverence to the Egyptian serpent god, so when Catholics celebrate a simulated blood ritual sacrifice every Sunday they have absolutely no idea who or what they are really worshipping...

If Jesus was defeated in revealing the truth, I think your question is very hard for people to accept.
