Its obvious that most people start threads just for the fun of it...this argument has no basis.

Satan is a condemned creature...God's sufficient grace is for we humans as stated clearly in the bible. Therefore trying to bring a condemned creature like satan into that circle would be an act of sheer ignorance.

@poster...I would suggest that you read your bible properly and avoid exposing your cowdice publicly.

And you're not human?

Allow me to tell you what really happened that day.

You see Lucifer was King, he was the one who created the heaven and earth and humans.. Yahweh gets jealous (thou shalt worship no other god before me for i am a jealous god)and usurps Lucifer in a bloody angelic battle..

But Lucifer was clever. He knew something like this could happen and had planted a tree of knowledge in the middle of the garden. Yahweh of course knows this, and warns Adam and Eve not to go near the tree.
Wise LUCIFER.. though he had lost his powers, he still could possess animals, and so he possessed the snake and was able to tell Eve the secret.. Eve immediately realised and told Adam. Adam ate and the truth was now clear. Since then both men and the devil have continued to suffer under the hands of the oppressor Yahweh...

Father forgive him for he knoweth not what he is doing/ saying. Amen!!!

Evil Brain:

It says love your enemies and pray for them. There is no special provisions for non-human enemies. It doesn't qualify the term enemies and therefore there are no exemptions. The bible repeatedly refers to the devil as the adversary and also does not qualify the term in any way so I don't know where you are getting this idea of the devil not being a direct enemy.

Even in religion and superstition, you still need to apply logic when you are analyzing your holy books. You can't just make up an explanation out of thin air every time there is some contradiction in your beliefs. This kind of faulty logic is the reason why atheists look down on you people. You don't seem to know how to think.
Oya listen Mumu,Satan íڪ τ̣̣ђё number one enemy of God.He has been banished to eternel destruction by God aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ for that reason seeks to destroy anythin made by God specifically 'Humans'.Its a God vs Satan (Good vs evil,Light vs darkness) war and its left for you to decide whose side you are ON. John 10:10. Remember satan cannot change,that's who it/he íڪ. You either choose eternal life or destruction in hell,its left to you.I pray God help you.

Jenwitemi: Well, if your god can't manage to love his own enemy(even he having an enemy is an embarrassment to his supposed lofty devine status), why should you? Are you better than your god? Of course you are not. wink

I dont know the god you refer to but our God does not make any His enemy. Satan or the devil on his own volition made himself an enemy of God and His people. We should know here that one can love a person but cant be the person's friend. You can love satan but dont fraternise with him.

YOUR ENEMIES MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT SATAN HAS BEEN USING TO OPPRESS YOU.

ITS A PITY THAT SATAN IS USING THEM AS TOOLS FOR DESTRUCTION.

IF YOU ARE NOT AMONG THE WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION YOU ARE VERY LUCKY.

SO PRAY AND LOVE YOUR ENEMIES SO THAT THEY CAN BE OUT OF THE BONDAGE OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND MAKE HEAVEN LIKE YOU WISH TOO.

How else do you want to prove your love for Satan, many of us love Satan and even obey him. Ask me how? We fornicate, we cheat, we kill, we commit adultery, we hate our neighbors, 419, destruction, kidnapping, bombing, etc. When we keep on doing these are more we show our love to him because it is his character. Do you disagree?

stepo707: Matt 5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you.It happens that satan happens to be our enemy.So guys what do you think?

Is Satan a human being? Is he a physical being?
The verse you quoted is referring to a human being, somebody you meet or interact with..your neighbor etc and not a Spiritual being that you have never seen before. Bless

k2039: God is talking about people

Satan is not a direct enemy, though. He is not for us to love or hate, but to avoid and ignore

However Satan is doomed for hell anyway,so it doesnt matter.

Re: If We Are To Love Our Enemies, Are We Not To Love Satan? by DollyParton1(f): 2:24pm On Sep 21, 2012
Satan is an adversary who accuses us before God. Jesus came to die for us on the cross, so as to give us life in abundance, that's why he is seating at the right hand of God, interceding for us
Who then will condemn us? No one--for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us. Romans 8:34

The instructions on how to deal with satan was clearly written in the Bible.
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.James 4:7
Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.1 Peter 5:9
We are to stand firm in our faith and resist him in whatever way he may be coming to us or tempting us, he is strong yea, but he can not overcome the christian that resist him in the name of Jesus and his overcoming blood.

nedu2000: so how should the love for d devil b shown?is it by doing his bidding?.......doing dat would imply showing hatred 2 our fellow humans

Do you love the Boko Haram people? How come you haven't shown it by doing their bidding and killing some infidels?

Your argument is invalid.

The devil isn't God's "number one enemy". The bible says he was created by god and rebelled. So he's just a child of god who has fallen into sin just like you.

If you'd bothered to read the bible a little you would know this already.

Firstly, I'm a christian!!!

You see, I read thru all the comments here and came to the conclusion that everybody here seems to think the Devil was once Lucifer.

Nows that's a lie!!!

Lucifer was just the king of Babylon. Nowhere in the bible relates him directly to satan.

Please look at Jesus and Satan this way. There are two kingdoms; Kingdom of Light and Kingdom of Darkness. Jesus is the King of the Light Kingdom, while the Devil is the King of the Darkness kingdom.
Light is life, darkness is death, as it is often used interchangeable in the bible.

What was the blessing and curse in the garden of eden (life and death).

What was the first thing ever created. Light and Darkness.

Mind you the bible says "and God saw that the light was good" inotherwords, darkness isn't good.

So we christians have been translated into the kingdom of Light from the kingdom of darkness.

We have NO business at all with the devil. Whether love or hate. We don't even see him at all, he can't accuse us or access us again.

The accusser of the brethen (the one who accused job) has been defeated by Jesus.

Its a pity most xtians have no clue what really took place on the cross.

NB: the word devil means accusser.

What happened on the cross was a major 419, if u believe in the Bible...
If JESUS, the crook, knew he would be resurrected, then what exactly was he 'sacrificing'.. if u tell me say u fit resurrect me, omo, e get plenty things i go do o...

Either that or Jesus was a theif/criminal and got hung on a bloody cross like all the others...
