The world is natural, not spiritual.
Christians have a problem... the problem of evil. They want their god to be all powerful and all good, and then have this powerful evil Satan character... yeah... there is no explaining it... Christianity was fabricated, simple as that.

He was gods most beautiful and powerful angle before he got thrown out of heaven! He took allot of others with him. This is his world and he still has power. All power comes from god, he is set loose here to mess man up. God is testing us through him! When Jesus comes back he will be put in chains and cast down for 1000 years. Then we shall see if he has any influence. Praise be to god!

You make Satan powerful! He gets that power from you when you yield to the lies and suggestions that he places in your mind. You give him power in your life when you commit sinful acts, it gives him the right to move in your life and put you through trials and tribulations. You give power to delay or even steal the blessings when you speak on the blessing BEFORE it has the opportunity to be COMPLETED by God!
You see the work of Satan by remembering that "Every GOOD thing comes from ABOVE" if there is trouble in your life there IS the work of the enemy!
Repent of the sin that you've commit ed, and do all that you know to do to NOT repeat those same things again. Pray for the help of the Holy Spirit, he is the helper of the will and word of God. Learn to Speak the word of GOD, it cuts the enemy and sends him running from you!
God gave us the POWER and AUTHORITY OVER Satan, he can't steal it unless you sin, he can't gain it unless you GIVE it to him by releasing it out of your mouth. Yes, your own mouth can be a powerful weapon against you or the enemy. Which do you choose?
Speak the word of God, it is the sword of the LORD!

Satan is as powerful as people make him. The more you believe he is powerful, the stronger he gets.
During the Renaissance Period, people managed to weaken him through charicatures and comedies.
Today, people see evil everywhere, so Satan is stronger than ever. If you're not afraid of something, it can't hurt you.
I don't see evil everywhere, just a lot of dumb people with guns.

WE make Satan powerful when we give into temptation and seek to fulfill our own selfish desires.
If all people were to put all of their faith into God and follow His will in their lives at all times, Satan would have no power whatsoever.

Christians say he is the god of this world.
Islam says he is a Jinn who has been given permission to whisper into the hearts as a test and therefore has absolutely no power except to invite.

I saw that episode. It was the only way Dr Who could stop the asteroid from falling into the sun.

God did of course!
He wants his children tried, tested, and weighed for their evil before being admitted to "haeven." Satan (or d'evil) and his many temptations are that test. Amon

Sinners do,by doing sin, and encouraging others to sin along with them.
