well

i mean, theres good reason too

how does suck a diverse human, come from nothing but thin air?

with such a complex body, so many bones, internal organs, your brain, very fine detail down to the atom

you cant just think it all came from thin air

if it was possible

then why isn't every other planet

like that

not really i gave up my baptist roots mostly because personally i just dont believe anything is inherently good or evil. i do believe in "higher power" and the spirit/soul but not god vs satan and heaven vs hell. @Enn

its not

heaven vs hell

But isn't God both sides of the coin?

god does not want to destroy the devil, its a way of wanting to worship

and showing you what will hapen

if you dont

it sound alot worse and harsh than it actually is

if you dont go into depth

@0P0J um yes it is. revelations is the day of judgement the day satan and his demon hordes walk the earth and fight the armies of god led by christ and the angel gabriel.

they do not fight

the lord lets then destroy the earth

and when that day comes all the people that have worshipped him, and has followed his path, will be saved

thats what it says

(Isiah 45:7) " I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these *things*."

satans hebrew name Hasatan is literally "the opposer" this implies adversarial relations aka conflict

he creates evil

for an intent to make us become saved

if he is goign to fight for us either way

why follow him? He is not going to fight, he is goign to let them destroy earth. and the people that followed him adn worshipped him, will be saved from it

I pet goat 2

The adversity—or the ego—against the self (soul). The story of God and Satan are the two faces of Man (divine union); self, and other. You either are selfish or selfless, like Jedi and Sith—but both are needed to hold balance in the Force.

The devil

has no power over god

or you physically

its all in the mind

and yes,

well like with god n satan, satan at one time was gods favored angel then there was the whole nephilim bit and the inter-relations of angels and humans which was blasphemous for which satan and hus followers were cast out

but satan is of gods creation and thus is loved by god, and though his opposition towards god regarding divine intervention with man differed from gods plan, satan would not be but for the grace of god.

so while there is clear conflict that conflict only exists by gods direct design.

The Devil was made out of Man's image, though. We *assumed* the serpent in the Garden of Eden was Satan, even though it is not directly said. We assume that God and Satan are totally different, but look here: (Psalm 139:8) "If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there."

with out the devil, there would be no reason to worshipp him, so i guess there is a point to the devil, but know that hes only there for gods grace, and could cease to exist at any point in time

what? devil or not god is still the creator should he not be revered as such?

Well, the Devil (like Shiva) typically destroys, so it's essentially worship of creation *or* destruction.

yes, but if you where goign to heaven either way?
