If god is all powerful why are the bad things in the world blamed on Satan?

Question

If he is not all powerful how do we know that he is the one that will lead us to heavan?

Answer 1

Because Satan is a scapegoat.

Answer 2

Primarily evil exists because of free choice, which was necessary to allow good people to elevate themselves closer to the Most High by choosing to be obedient. The consequence of free choice is evil. If everyone was a robot, then there would be no free choice and perhaps no evil per se. Tigers and lions would still kill the animals for eating purposes. But what WE consider evil, will not exist.

The whole World of existence is tilted, so like the slope at the bottom of the river, the waters of time have to keep flowing. Doing good is going up the slope, and climb the mountain of morality and get closer to the clouds of heaven and reach the Sun of the Most High. It is easier to slide down into the pit where Satan awaits us and is luring us to come down to him.

Those who reject Satan and move up, are doubly rewarded, compared to those who are doing good of their own volition. When Satan offers me an evil and I reject him, I collect a blessing that I would have otherwise missed out on. So, Satan really helps the good and pulls only the bad to him.

Had the Lord Almighty Himself not said DO THIS and DO NOT DO THIS, the option of elevating yourself would not exist and essentially sin would not exist. Obedience requires an order. The consequence of an order is obedience or disobedience. So, all blessings come with associated sins.

I hope this makes sense.

Answer 3

One of God's greatest gifts He has given us is the freedom of choice, whether or not to follow Him. He is the most powerful spiritual entity. You must remember, if you believe the scriptures, refer to the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Satan decieved man. He is the great liar and destroyer. Ever since God kicked him (Satan) out of Heaven for wanting to be God himself, he has been trying to get back at Him ever since.

How does he do that? By attacking and destroying the very creation that is most precious to God Himself: Man.

It is man that has been responsible for the tragedies and bad decisions made, the wars, the murders, the crimes again one another. But God provides a way for forgiveness and redemption and that is by the way of the cross. Jesus was God in the flesh. He came Himself in the form of a baby. He lived a human life and understood the human condition. He was tempted, hungry and beaten but without sin. That made Him the perfect sacrifice. The ancient Hebrews and others offered animal sacrifices to God before Jesus came, because according the teachings, a blood sacrifice was necessary. Only the most perfect specimens were offered. But when Jesus came, animal sacrifices became obsolete. He paid for the sin of the world and the war between Good and Evil will end after He returns, according to Scripture. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Salvation cannot be earned. It is a gift.

The Bible teaches that there are many false prophets out there.

Satan is real, but God is more powerful. Satan is allowed to do his business only for a certain period of time, according to the Scriptures. This is part of prophesy. Man is still given a choice of whom he will follow. Perfect love casts out all fear....He is that perfect love, God Himself. But, He does not want robots. He wants people who genuinely want to fellowship with Him, sincere believers. He loves you and can meet you where ever you are in life. He can come through the pain and fear to where you are. There is nothing that you have done that cannot be forgiven.

Read the Scriptures, even if you don't believe them. I would recommend the books of the New Testament to start. I am praying for you, Hon. God bless you.

Answer 4

Evil is from Allah. But Allah does don’t create anything purely Evil. Everything thing Evil in this Life has some good in it. This is evident in many situations in life itself. For example:

When someone comes to you with a needle and says he wants to inject you. Obviously you would run away from that crazy person. But when we are ill and need a jab/injection, what do we do? We go to the doctor and he gives us one. Certainly that act of injecting you is evil because of the pain you will feel? Yes, but the benefit (cure) is worth that small pain and you will accept it without question.

Allah says, “And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.).” [The Noble Qur’an, Surah Al-Baqarah 2:155]

There is a good Book by Dr. Bilal Philips, called "The Purpose of Creation" he explains all this really well.

Answer 5

Christians make him even more powerful by calling him the god of this world.

Answer 6

because religion is a crock of s***

if its all powerful, it created satan to do as satan does
if its omnipresent...gawd iz in hell as well as heaven...and technically, we're all gods..since the god is in each and every cell

but its all a crock of mythological s*** anyway

Answer 7

Believers like to have it both ways -- their skybuddy is all-powerful and he makes all the decisions. Except for the decisions that they kinda sorta wish he had never made. His evil twin made those.

Of course.

Answer 8

He has all power to accomplish his purposes. He does not have all power to do ANYTHING. He cannot cease to be God, lie, steal, cheat, take away free will, etc.

Answer 9

Cause, God doesn't do all thoose bad stuff.
Satan or yourself does it.
Don't turn and blame satan all the time.
And don't turn around and EVER EVER blame it on God.

Answer 10

He temps us to sin, but we have the choice to obey or not to obey Him. In the book of Revelation it says that the devil and his followers will be throne into the lake of fire together so be my guest if you want to follow him.
