Why is he waiting? Does he expect more bad things from the people? or Does not he have the power to defeat him? If So, He is not a God, isn't?

That's why I don't believe in the God of the bible or of christianity. I can't believe that God is in some war of good over evil that s/he can't win. I don't believe that this war even exists except in the minds and beliefs of humans. I think we've got it all wrong. I think this "war" and the whole satan and hell concept were created by early politico-religious leaders in order to rule the masses through fear-based living. I believe in "God" but not as an old guy sitting up in the sky somewhere judging us and throwing down firebolts. But rather as the energy source of all life creation.

Please define what you mean by God. God is a gentleman; he will not defile a person's free will. The only way that we can obtain the gifts of Grace and Faith is to become a believer and follower. Bad things happen because some people are bad. Of course, God can defeat the devil or bad things as you call it. To explain this I would need to explain Christian theology; that God sent his only Son to earth to suffer for us, and to pay our sin debt, because God knew there was no way that man could attain the goal of Godly perfection by way of suffering or otherwise. This is a complicated issue; and we will never know the true answer until we meet God. All statements are mere suppositions.

With Law vs Law it's a con-test to be won & lost.
But in reality Law vs Law is as Loser vs Loser.
With Grace it's a no con-test, so there's no losers.
Grace neither makes nor takes sides,
for all sides wars have side effects,
the most notable one being death.
Repeating Law is Law Law.
His Grace is not Law Law.
Grace cannot Lie(Law) nor Die(Law).
Law Law people do both good and evil.
Grace is not impatient nor worried how the shew will end.
The grace us end of the shew to endure unto already written.
When the shew ended as written, none perish by pure grace.
A last "Amen" to that essentially voids all other faulty amens.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

No way.Both are like the two sides of a coin and have to coexist.It's also required for balance and equilibrium in nature and all creatures.However,humans have the power to select and choose and can have a balance in their favor,if they desire and work for it.
