Does God do bad things?

Question

or are all bad things happening are by the power of the Satan?
Who is more powerful, God or Satan?

a question to you all; God doesn't punish? Punishment is a good or bad thing?
In the Bible he has been angry and punished many times.

Exodus 20:1-17, God allows Satan to do bad things, it means that he is also a partner in the crime?! It means he is also evil, yes?

legleggerz, you can post it here, are you afraid of other's comments? I don't need email.

Answer 1

if god is omnipotent (all powerful), god will have the power to stop anything bad from happening.

then allowing evil to exist makes god evil because god chooses to allow bad things to happen.

if god does not want bad things to happen and they do anyway, it makes god weak.

Answer 2

If your speaking of God, the Creator of all, then no, He does not do bad, but evidently bad is all around us.

God created Satan, but Satan was not created evil. Satan, or Lucifer, was an angel who rebelled against God and God cast him out of heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:18).

In heaven angels had free will, they had a choice to worship or rebel against God, so Satan rebelled along with 1/3 of heaven. So these fallen angels are Demons, who do the work of Satan here on earth.

But then there are people. People were created to have a free will, like angels. We can choose to believe in God, or deny the existence of God. Fact is God is God weather we believe it or not. But in our free will we have other choices, to do good or bad. You don't have to look too far to see the bad choices people make every day. Just turn on the news or open the paper.

The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and disparately wicked. Who can know it?"

So yes, God is infinitely greater than Satan. And they both are real. Anyone can see the reality of evil in our world today.

The Bible speaks of the conflict of good vs evil in Romans 7:9-25; it also speaks of the doing away with and judgment of all evil in the book of Revelation.

Answer 3

that's even worse than that. Christians have confidence undesirable issues are definitely sturdy because of the fact they are sorting out us. So God gets helpful credit the two way. isn't that handy? God doing sturdy issues would not continuously intervene with unfastened will, in basic terms while they contain a guy or woman doing some thing. Like patching up a dating, offering you with funds, etc., which does ensue an excellent kind of the time. a similar ought to prepare to undesirable issues. If getting attacked and injured became right into a try from God, what got here approximately to the unfastened will of the attacker?

Answer 4

well, when adam and eve sinned, then the perfect world was cast into darkness, and life here became dificult for all humanity. God is stronger than satan, the Bible says, in the end, God shall crush satan's head, and satan will bruise God's heel. God doesn't do bad things, He is always protecting us, but he lets people have free will, and that includes people hurting other people as well as themselves.
God Loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life, satan hates you and pretty much just wants you to die in misery, so in life there are really only two choices, no middle ground, the first, believe that Jesus died for your sins, and accept God's forgiveness and go to heaven, or second, in not choosing God, you are automaticlly choosing the things of this world which are of Satan, and then ultimately hell.

Answer 5

In the most modern view of God, it would not be possible for him to do bad things, his actions would set standard and issue justice. If you believe that satan is the cause of all the bad things that happen, than you have indirectly elevated him to a "godly" status. This idea goes against common Christianity.

Everywhere I look I see the same thing, nature acting with no regard for human desire or interest. It could be that things just happen with no regard for those effected. Maybe we are just not that important to nature.

Answer 6

In the Bible and specifically the Old Testament he's an evil mass-murdering bastard. Fortunately in reality there isn't a God, so the answer is no. Humans have the most power of all known beings.

We can't prevent earthquakes and other natural disasters of course, but then it would be foolish to say that 'random happenstance' has the most power, as that is not a being.

Answer 7

Satan is the prince of the power of the air , he wants and influences everybody to do bad things .. God can never do any thing bad . God created Satan and he will sentence Satan to hell at the end

Answer 8

God doesn't do bad things because God is perfect.

God is more powerful than Satan, but he allows humans to be susceptible to temptation in order to put their souls to the test. If God really wanted to destroy Satan completely, he could.

So says the bible anyways.

Answer 9

God gives us a free will and we cause bad things to happen by listening to satan.If we would always listen to God bad things would not happen.When we mess up our life by listen to satan we can pray to God and he will make it work out for Gods glory but we also reap what we sow.He is a forgiving God.We are in the flesh now and it wants wordly things.
In the end God will win over satan.

Answer 10

No, it's not in God to do bad things.

Deuteronomy 32:4
The Rock, perfect is his activity,
For all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice;
Righteous and upright is he.

God is more powerful than Satan, but He has His reasons for allowing Satan to rule right now. But that's coming to an end soon.

1 John 2:17
Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.

Answer 11

Ever read the bible.Apparently God is very vengeful and vindictive and does all kinds of rotten things to people."God" and "Satan" are within you and you will choose who is more powerful.
