That he is out for blood and destruction? God didnt create Hell and he doesnt place people there I wish people would realize that. If you follow God and believe in him you go to heaven thats pretty simple dont you think? Hell is for those who sin and if you follow the devil you are going to live with him and since he hates you so much then he is going to torture you.
I find it funny that people still blame God for everything like or Hurrican Katrina or the Tsunami. I was having a discussion about that today. There is someone called Lucifer that is what I believe
Do you believe in the devil?

well yes I do believe in the Devil, his existence is established by God in the Bible.
God does take control of the weather and does use it to punish countries when they are out of control..
People don't understand that man broke the Old Testament, and God made a New One through Christ.
The Old Testament gave way to the New Testament, and after the Great Tribulation we will have Christ personally ruling the world for 1000 years which will be another set up all together.

Where did the NT come from? for the most part it is quoted from the OT
also you must take this verse into account
Hbr 13:8 Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Jhn 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Jhn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Because that is what Justice looks like.
Bet we appreciate the Grace in the New Testament more heh?
Well the 'OT' God is who stopped the injustice we want stopped today. I guess people need to decide if they need a little more time to get to know God first before He judges the earth again and stops the pain we see all around us.

Lucifer, Satan, Dragon, The accuser….these are just a few of the names used to describe Satan…
Revelation 20:2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Satan is one of the fallen angels…in verse 1:6 of Job, he and the other angels (sons of God) have gone to present themselves to God.
Enoch conversed with Satan and many of the other angels. They asked him to go to God and ask for forgiveness which God denied…they have been sentenced to earth for a period of time, then they will be placed into the Lake of Fire as stated in Revelations.
Job 1:6
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
God made the universe…to think that he doesn’t control it would be placing him with limited powers. If we can believe that he created the universe and all living things we should be able to conceive he controls all of the elements.
Do you believe he sent the flood in Noah’s time? The reason he sent the flood; the Sons of God took the daughters of men for their wives, they corrupted their spiritual bodies, they begot a generation of evil beings…God became angry and killed the offspring.
Genesis 6 1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
People started to worship the fallen angels as Gods.
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
God of the OT…is the same God of the N.T…. the wrath of God will fall on the children of disobedience…they will be placed into the Lake of Fire.
Colossians 3:6
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

I don't follow what you are trying to say. Are you saying the OT God never existed? Are you saying that the OT God was actually the devil? Or are you saying that the OT God did exist, but has now changed his ways? You aren't very clear. If you believe in Jesus, then by default you have to believe in the OT God...right?

well what is the "New" Testament? Or New Covenant I should say?? Isn't it that God would take His Law (Torah) and write it on our hearts?! So that "Old" Testament God is the same God we have in our hearts today for "Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8) HE is the Great I AM!
Yes I believe that Satan is alive and well and he is the ruler of this world.
And regarding the weather:
Amos 3:6
Does disaster come to a city,
unless the LORD has done it?

Yes the Devil is everywhere, the ones who try to tell you God is not real, the ones who think it is okay to insult and pass judgement on others. It's an evil world and without God, I think the world would be a lot worse.

It's your right to believe as you see fit.
And it's mine to disagree.
As for that 'old' testament G-d - he provided the ten commandments, the bedrock of all morality. But hey, if you don't rate him...

Because they were taught that way. It's sad really.
Yeah Satan is a real person (spirit creature).
