You said your god can not do injustice but there are uncountable incidents in the Bible of his injustice and favouring one party over another. Here is a clear injustice of your god. In fact this passage in the Bible shows god and Satan are infact friends and they can stake kalo kalo/gambling/bet naija bets on human life.
Job chapter 2;1-6.
2 One day when the sons of God came to stand in front of the Lord, Satan the Accuser came along with them.
2 The Lord asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From wandering all over the earth.”
3 The Lord asked Satan, “Have you thought about my servant Job? No one in the world is like him! He is a man of integrity: He is decent, he fears God, and he stays away from evil. And he still holds on to his principles. You’re trying to provoke me into ruining him for no reason.”
4 Satan answered the Lord, “Skin for skin! Certainly, a man will give everything he has for his life. 5 But stretch out your hand, and strike his flesh and bones. I bet he’ll curse you to your face.” 6 The Lord told Satan, “He is in your power, but you must spare his life!”

Who attacked Job, God or Satan?

Who said "Job must not die" God or Satan?

Who repaid Job, God or Satan?

Well i told you that when you read try to ask what others think about the story because you may conclude wrongly if you don't know what is on ground.

Satan wanted to prove that no human can remain righteous and loyal to God under severe trial. So he's moving round the earth {Job 1:7} to break the integrity of anyone who wants to keep their integrity! Job 1:1

God is always proud of integrity keepers cause they're proving that God sure created humans in His own image as the greatest integrity keeper. That's why God called Satan to see that no matter how the system deteriorate under human government there will always be few integrity keepers in one place after another.

So Job became something to be proud of for the true God! Proverbs 27:11

Dantedasz:


The book of Job greets you.
By the way you have not attempted to answer the OP,on why God destroyed humanity with floods,yet left Satan to continue to roam around and even show his face at a meeting with God.(Job chapter 2;1-6.)

You accused someone of not reading with view to comprehend, i know you really want to prove that the whole thing makes no sense to you so calm down, read and try to reason with what others think about the Bible!

Below is the answer to your question!

MaxIntheHouse2:

God didn't destroy humanity for their sin otherwise all humans including Noah supposed to be wiped out because according to God all have sinned {Romans 3:23} so none is doing good from God's standpoint! Romans 3:10-12

So why not destroy Satan along with those making God's heart sad? Genesis 6:6

There is a case to be resolved, Satan asserted that God supposed to allow humans rule over themselves independently if He (God) is sure that they're perfectly made in His image {Genesis 1:26} God made it clear that each human could determine what is best for himself or herself when talking about care after all each of them want to continue living but it's not within their capability to set standards that can lead to peace among themselves so a SUPREME BEING (GOD) is the only one who can do that.
However the first human couple sided with Satan so time is needed to settle this case:

God must allow mankind to try all types of human rule (system of government) perhaps they can find any that will help humans to cohabit peacefully without God's guidance.

That's why God didn't destroy Satan but kept him alive till today.

Humans have tried so many system of government and none has worked out peaceful coexistence rather people have continued to spend billions upon billions of dollars to amass destructive devices that can wipe away their fellow man while many are within the same society dying of hunger and malnutrition.

Satan is spirit, and yes he can't die. he was on earth even during the flood. His effort ensured many refused the call of salvation through the ark of Noah.

Below is the answer to your question!

You are deliberately going on a long convoluted and winding answer to a very simple question of why God chose to destroy humanity but left Satan alone to continue to lead humanity into sin.
This is one of the absurdities of organised religion.
So God planted a tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden and placed an innocent man and woman in the same garden to confront a wily satan/snake?
When Adam and Eve fell to Satan disguised as snake,God decided to curse Adam and Eve and their descendants and also cursed the snake and its descendants and left Satan alone without any curse.
Can you see the absurdity?

We now proceed to Noahs time when sins of mankind became too gross and again God wiped out mankind with flood waters and left the cause of sin which is Satan to continue enjoying.

We can now proceed to Jobs time,when God and his friend Satan now decide to play a bet with themselves on gods servant Job to see if he will curse God if his family and property is wiped out and he is afflicted with sickness.
Can you see the absurdity in this story?
Why not destroy Satan? Why destroy Jobs family and property?


Then we proceed to another absurdity. The new testament. God decides to save mankind by becoming a man. First of all he/holyspirit have intercouse with a virgin,who gives birth to God's son Jesus who is nailed to a cross in order to die as a sacrifice and intercessor for the sins of mankind .

Absurdity upon absurdity.

Why not destroy Satan? Why destroy Jobs family and property?

Satan is the person having a case to settle with God while Job and whatever he has are just like exhibit that can either be destroyed or kept for future purpose. So Job and his family with whatever he has are immaterial since they will all die due to sin inherited but Satan must see for himself that what he claimed in the beginning that no man can keep integrity under severe trial is false.
This case really pained Satan because Job proved him a liar with all his effort, today both Job and everything he had are gone but the faithful man knows that by the time Satan is nailed himself and all his family will enjoy a wonderful reunion in Paradise on this same planet! Job 14:13-15

Atheism gives you no hope but try to be one of the integrity keepers in your neighbourhood at least people living around you deserve to be happy so if you want to be happy don't be a threat to other people's happiness.
Whether you believe in a Creator or not know that everyone deserves to be happy so by treating your neighbour the way you want to be treated you're OK!

Dantedasz:


So God is no longer omnipotent? He can't destroy Satan but chose to destroy humanity?

The simple question the OP,is asking is; Why destroy humanity for their sins when you can simply destroy the source of the sin(satan)?

Satan is not the source of sin. Yeah he brought it to this world but he is not the source.

He is the first sinner though sin has always existed I think it comes with free will.

If God were to kill Satan today people will still sin.

Excellent!

This is what many failed to realize that's why our all wise God is resolving the issue gradually. First all mankind must know that sin could be initiated by any intelligent creature but then the Bible and what will happen before God finally destroy Satan will serve as evidence against anyone who choose the path of sin. By that time when there is no more old age, sickness or death whoever chose the path of sin will not be given a lengthy tenure again because it has been proven that sin is evil so such a sinner will be allowed to enjoy his youthful life for 100 years then he will die as a youth with no one to miss him {Isaiah 65:20} because they all knew why he die when death has been swallowed by God! Isaiah 25:8

ASSUMPTIONS!!!
The simple question is why would an omniscient,omnipotent and benevolent god,leave Satan (to continue leading humanity astray) and instead destroy humanity with floods water during Noahs time.
It is not necessary for you to comment if you don't know the answer,instead of wriggling and turning eba without soup

a good study of the bible shows the dwelling place of satan. satan is not in hell as many think or as they teach in churches. satan is a spirit who wants to be like God and as such has placed his abode just as God has done and thatnis on high.

the book of isaiah 14:13 reveals the abode of satan...it reads.

" For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north".

this is where satan has made his abode, up in the heavens and so cannot be affected by the deluge beside that he is also a spirit.

paul also spoke of the abode of satan and his host of demons where he refeered to his dwelling place in the book of Ephesians 2. 1-2.

" And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.""

and also ephesians 6:12 speaks of the same thing where it referes to the abode of the evil spiritual powers of this world as located in the heavenly places.


satan has not been cast out yet, but he knows he will be thrown out because christ has defeated him through his death and ressurection. john12:13.

the book of revelation 12: 7-10 gives detail of how and when this will happen, and what will follow after it which is the great tribulation because Satan is angry and have a short time.

Ọ̀gbẹ́ni don't kill yourself over matters of faith if you want to know something you calm down and reason not judging from your preconceived thoughts then expecting everyone to agree with you!

Satan is misleading the whole inhabited earth but only those that already have bad motives that could be influenced by Satan.

If you are made a judge in a law court will you punish only the initiator of robbery and leave the real armed robbers?

Job's case has settled the whole thing only evil people could be influenced by Satan as for integrity keepers Satan can't influence them no matter what happens.

So if Satan is destroyed today someone else will still initiate evil that's why time is needed to settle this matter once and for all.

It will be in record forever that sin was initiated and all those that took the path of sin were destroyed {Matthew 7:13-14} WHY? Because it caused lots and lots of pains for both the sinners and their innocent neighbours!

the ways of God is not the ways of man. satan will be destroyed in his time. men where warned to repent and they refused. a man has the choice to choose what they do. when man sinned in the begining hi eyes where opened and thus making him to become like the gods knowing good and evil. and so man became liable to bear the consequences of his sins, and the wages of sin is death. but God never takes action unlesss he gives out a warning which in this case only 8 people heeded and were saved after 150 years of warning.

The emboldened is quite amusing, but completely out of the point I am raising. The fact is I can quote so many verses in the Bible that shows that Yahweh and Satan are best of friends. They are like ying and yang. In fact in the Bible they come across as symbiotic entities . The two of them need each other to survive. That is why God would leave Satan alone and destroy humanity. That is why God would curse Adam,Eve and the serpent and all their descendants and leave Satan alone.
According to your bible God and Satan are two sides of one coin.

You may like to read Job chapter 2. Happy reading.


2 On another day the angels[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them to present himself before him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”

3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.”

4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life. 5 But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.”

6 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”

everything has its appointed time. like I told you the ways of God is not the ways of man.

if God had destroyed satan then Gods future plan for salvation would not have come to pass and mankind would not have multuplied to what we have today. thus the promised kingdom of God would not come. everything has a purpose and time. Gods ultimate plane is to bring mankind into the kingdom he has prepared even before the world was.

you are busy talking like a 12year old. the fact that you as a human being exist today is an emerical proof of the creator God who did so in his image. beacuse we humas create and design things. e.g a mercedes benz can be created by humas in a week but can never evolve on its own in a quintillion years.

if you dont believe in a creator God then you will believe in evolution which has no emperical proof as a matter of there is an emperical proof that it is false. so you can see that their is no fence to stand on.
