So who is actually the good guy? God or Satan? [Spirituality & Religion]

✌️@Xuan12:

@GraceFromEP: And now you can't explain it, so you make a gesture and bow out.

@Xuan12: Oh please. I didn't know what you meant. Now that I can SEE better this morning, I reread it and know what you meant. I made a mistake in my sentence to her, that's all. It should have read, "@Klesingo: Except psychology isn't Christian teachings. That's what men taught."

@Xuan12: No. If the Almighty does support evil, there is no hope for justice ever. Then this God is Satan himself and doesn't deserve to be worshipped. [b]But the father of Jesus is not the God of this world.[/b]

@Xuan12: She blocked you, and you deserve it for your cynicism
[quote]So this world he created is exactly as it should be[/quote]
This world is a complete mess, and you say everything is fine? Shame on you.

@Klesingo: I don't actually believe that it's fine, but it is the way it was meant to be. It's a reference to an earlier conversation I had with her. Though I do actually think Satan as an agent of God is a better theology than him as an enemy of God. For what other reason would the Almighty and Allknowing leave Satan alone in the Garden of Eden with the first two humans if not to test them? And why would he permit him to torture Job so, when Job had been such an upstanding devotee? If we were meant to live in paradise, why would God have created the Earth at all, rather than keep us in heaven?

Though you're right, there there may be no hope for justice as we see it. If God's will in undeniable, as many hold it to be, then it is his idea of justice that will prevail.

Depends on how we do define Satan. before Christian time pagan priests used to wear a head gear with animal horns and there have been feasts where sex was celebrated
