Is the DEVIL just as powerful as GOD

[Standing on business]

Every bad thing that happens on this earth appears to be the fault of the devil, well there's way more bad than good so if God is infinite how does he let the devil overpower him in influence? Does God not poses the strength to take the devil down even though he created him?

 

[agpxknt]

I never thought of it like that before

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

they are the same entity for nothing can be separate from the creator.
The lucifer myth is a dumbed down explanation for people who need to know the difference between good and bad.
There is no "stronger good force" vs "a weaker bad force"...only degrees of hot and cool.

 

[Black Cobain]

Believe in Semitic religions brehs

 

[cheek100]

No because God created the devil. God has no equals or rivals.

 

[The Mad Titan]

Not the whole reason but part of the reason is God is allowing humans to see that they cannot rule themselves and that the devil was a lie with his initial accusations. If the Devil was "as powerful" there wouldn't be any evidence at all of any kind of true God.


What would it prove to humans and his angels if God just eradicated the devil and humans from the jump when he was challenged? Absolutely nothing in the long and it would go against him being a loving God also by just killing the 1st people and spirits to lie/challenge him.

God created man in his own image.

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

The devil can only do what GOD allows. Anybody that ever read rhe book of Job in the bible would know that. So the thread starter is clueless. Obviously GOD is the boss since the devil can't do whatever he want

 

[Gab]

didnt we already just have a big religion thread?

 

[seymour cake]

How can he give us free will without giving us evil.




















Or whatever hov said

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

Yo demonic thread right here folks nothing to see.

 

[SeveroDrgnfli]

Evil on Earth is due to man being created in god's image. We have free will. God doesn't want to interrupt free will because it defeats the purpose of it's creation. Think about it. If you had a child you wanted to teach something you'd let him make his own decisions to learn some parts of the lesson. Angels are servants which is why Luciphers disobedience was punished by God and he was cast out of heaven to what a celestial being would consider hell. That's Earth. That's my take on it.

 

[Redeem87]

There is no one like the Lord

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

Who created God ???

 

[NotaPAWG]

Yes.

I'm not really a religious person but I do believe in some sort of God whatever it may be and the devil exists.

I believe that the devil had to come from God to give us the concepts of good and evil. It's basically an earthly balance.

@Phoenix Reborn basically what reborn said

Biblically man is so damaged because he follows man made laws, not God
