Read this. Everyone says it was Satan's doing, and that i shouldn't blame God.
If Satan can make people do bad things, but God can't make them do Good. Doesn't that mean that Satan's power is stronger?

Well, makemeaspark, he fu*ked up there didnt he.
Making something stronger than himself.

Answer 1

Rock on !!!!
Satan dosen't use force to make you worship him satan asks no one to worship him... Do you hear satan saying worship me or go to hell??? And why did god kick satan out of heaven, becase satan wanted some power to decide things on his own thats why, thats like having a kid and telling them they are going to be under your rules forever they are going to rebel.
By the way, the flood=god
kicked out of eden for a simple mistake=god
plagues of egypt=god
threats of eternal fire and other miserable things=god

silence and bothering no one=satan

Also, why can't god kill satan, what did we do that we need to be tested for 6,000 years. Thats right we are being punished for the sins of people we never even met. That like saying sure son you can drive my car, but first you need to pass these 3 extreme driving test and if you fail you die. Come on... either uncondition love or nothing.

What a good question you get a star!

Answer 2

I am sorry you were abused as a child, there are abusers everywhere taking without consideration only concerned with their own perverted ideas. I understand why your angry, but your tragic story can't be blamed on the strength of the devil, or how powerful GOD is.
GOD refrains from interference most of he time, else people wouldn't die accidentally. The devil in no way can compare to GOD Almighty, The devil is simply the leader of a group of fallen angels. It is true he will temp humans to do evil but mans hands have to obey a mans mind. One must be willing to do wrong to start with. I don't have enough information on your particular case to say, but in other cases of abuse one could be an atheist for example not believing in GOD or the devil and still commit the same wrong or evil act. If the act of what happen to you in the past still today makes you turn away or blame GOD for what happen, your healing will improve but you must put the blame where it belongs and that is on the person who abused you, they can't blame their actions on the devil or drugs or alcohol or anything else and neither should you. GOD loves you and us all

Answer 3

Surprise, surprise! In spite of what your friends tell you and what Hollywood wants you to think, Satan is enormously weak! His influence on us, however, is strong, mostly because we actually like to believe what he has to say.

Satan is forever telling us that we deserve something that is not ours; that we will never succeed at something within our power; that we should get the biggest slice of a pie that should be shared. And we -- greedy, lazy, power-hungry and selfish -- go right along with his advice.

God, by contrast, completely honors our human uniqueness and human freedom. God will not force us to be good or to love him. How could he? If you force someone to love you, that's not love.

God's power seems weaker than Satan's because what he wants is less comfortable and often goes against our human inclinations. The awesome part is that God puts up with our continual choices against him, and loves us anyway.

Answer 4

No. It means that God gave satan 6,000 years to do his best at ruling the world, but afterwards, God will judge everybody, including satan.

In the meantime, God offers us an unmerited pardon for our sins and rebellion against Him out of pure Love.

Satan uses force, while God offers us Love. Satan thinks that force is better than loving kindness, but in the end, at the battle in the valley of Megido, God will win. After all, Jesus already defeated death and the grave, and satan knows he's on borrowed time. He's like a de-toothed lion with nothing but the noise he makes to scare people into believing he's got something when he's got absolutely nothing at all going for him. He knows he's lost the battle, and since he can't hurt God directly, he's trying to destroy as many of us as possible to try to "get at" God.

Answer 5

The hardest concept for mortal thought to grasp is that ALL evil is a lie. Evil never had a father and is unknown to good. Evil NEVER goes unpunished. The law of Spirit is justice, and here or hereafter one must balance their account. Sin requires suffering and death in order to quench the love of sin.
Satan only has seeming power in this age and attacks mortal thought 24/7 and creates the illusion of hell on earth which Truth annihilates. We can not blame God for what He did not create. We all wake up to the demands of truth at different times and levels, but it happens.

Answer 6

You should really try to remove God from the equation here. God does not make someone do good, nor does Satan make someone sexually abuse a child. Whoever led you to believe that abusing a child is "Satan's doing" obviously didn't properly explain that statement to you, since you took its interpretation literally. Everything we do is of our own free will. Instead of blaming God you should blame the person who did it to you.

You should consider seeking therapy from a non-religious source as well as a religious source so that you have both types of healing and understanding.

Answer 7

Yeah...I've always wondered about that...it certainly does explain why God has never outright killed Satan if Satan is supposed to be so evil and such a threat to God and His Creation...it just fails to satisfy an answer to blame all evil on Satan...on whatever level you take it, God had to allow such a thing to exist in some fashion...

Answer 8

Satan doesn't make people do bad things. People choose to either follow Satan or they choose to follow God. Because God is a fair & just God he gave us a free will to make the choice for ourselves. Our eternal destiny will be the results of our choice.

Answer 9

God provided satan a hand to manipulate mankind.

Remember, the words of God to satan (2 Cor 4:4)

As the prince of the power of the air, he broadcasts his evil, rebellious attitudes to all humanity...

Therefore, satan is a large obstacle to all of mankind, here is where our focus toward Christ is so important.

Attending Mass or service is mankind taking the path, footsteps toward Jesus.

Answer 10

Satan only temps you to do evil then you take your own flesh to carry the devils will out by following through with evil the same way GOD is asking you to do good with your flesh and if you do its a glory to GOD because you have done right. you see GOD gave you the choice to do his will or Satan's its up to you to decide who you want live for. GOD is more powerful than anyone or anything. but you can only overcome evil with GOD in your life . GOD could make you do anything but you see he gave you the choice so whatever you decide to do in the flesh is your blessing or your punishment. its your decision were you will end up after this life by the choices you make in your flesh.
