I have come to realize that the devil, Lucifer, whatever you want to call him was given the chore of tempting man by God himself.
Think of this...If God asked you to become the most hated thing in creation and tempt mankind would you?
I believe that the devil, Lucifer did just that. He so loved God that he took up this aweful chore because of this love for his father. I know what the Bible says about him but if you think about it makes sense. I dont worship the devil but i do recognize that he merely gives me the oppurtunity to do wrong he doesnt make me do wrong. He is said to have gone to war against God that means he doesnt fear him if he doesnt fear him why play games why not just destroy us? Because God only asked him to tempt us. The devil is the most evil because God asked him to be and of course like any GOOD angel he said yes. He will tempt man and try to get man to destroy himself because God asked him to. All this so mankind can prove themselves to God.heck of a sacrifice

Who knows? We only live for an average of 65 years. What do we know of the thoughts of immortals?

The greatest sacrifice one can make to please God is to give up and walk away from something you really really want and have worked very hard to save no matter what you do it never works out right and you are forced to let it go. It isn't done this way to please God but more because it is the only option God leaves. I guess it must please God on some level because it is what he made come about.
As far as Lucifer goes, he is a fallen angel according to the story and is just doing what was planned out for his existance. We do not know his fate. There cannot be good without the comparison of bad.

Yeah, its tempting to take a view like this, because it means that if you do something bad, it isn't your fault, God made you that way, and obviously wanted you that way. People also say the same thing about Judas, He killed Jesus because he loved him, and he knew it was part of the great plan, and that if he didn't betray Jesus, the whole new testament, and second chance for humanity would never have happened, so Judas would also be a hero. I'm not sure where I stand, but its one of the biggest problems with the idea that God knows what we will do in advance, but we still have a choice, it creates situations like this, where evil may actually be good.

"What is the greatest sacrifice a being can make to please God?" was the initial question.
The answer: John 15:13. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
As far as the rest of the tirade goes, you're not really asking a question, but giving an opinion. How you believe is entirely up to you; that's what faith is about. Faith is not something that is taught nor can it be forced; you either believe or you don't, and your faith is what you believe.

The only and greates sacrifice can you give to please God is your life, He wants you to give all yourlife (100%)
i would for He have a good purpose for me behind this temptation. God never ask me to become someone like that, i will not be hated for He is hated for me when HE was in this world.
I think all your statement isn't true, for God never ask Him to do evil on us, God just keep us from evil when we believe in Him. God just allow Licifer to tempted you but not go bring you into evil, for He wants us to learn how to face this and find God's meaning behind this temptation.
God never ask Devil to get one of His child to be with him in the hell for He love us so much, but He allow it to happen for His children is fight against Him. even they are His children, He is a fair God, He cannot cancel His word, so they must be feel the wrath of God together with the satans.
I believe that my DAD isn't like that. he is good, friendly, cute , funny and perfect.

Yeah well whatever.
If there were a devil, yes. If there were a Bible god, sure he'd probably do stuff like that. He could even command one of his angels to suffer eternal torment in Hell, and then watch him writhe and scream in agony.

It makes no sense at all. Besides, IF you believe the Bible, you are essentially calling God a liar.
Interesting the way you think. Ignorant, but interesting.

That's a really good theory and I really respect the fact that you used your own brain to form your own opinion.
However, God actually HATES Satan, and Satan HATES God.
Furthermore, Satan represents things God told us to avoid, not nessacarily because we hate Satan, but because we love God.
I think the greatest sacrafice is being nice to people when you don't feel like it.
