Yomieluv: He allowed devil to influence mankind,but still gave us freedom to choose,and know what's good,and bad.the choice is ours..man can't exist without trial,or difficulties in life,we only pray that the trial,and tribulation shouldn't be more that we can bear...God always come to aid when the chips are totally down. You're saying God initiates trials for man only for Him to come to his aid? Who created or permitted the so called 'freedom of choice' for man? Why allow Satan to influence mankind? Why is it necessary? It is not a crime not to have clear, logical and acceptable answers to the posers of the OP but it's not nice to, in trying to provide answers, cause more confusion. |

why does God allow satan to influence mankind ? its a purification and selection process. so as to be able to select those who ignored satan and continued in his ways, to select them into the kingdom of heaven. keep in mind both the deciever and the decieved belong to God so you know this is a game show created by God. the world is a stage and we are the actors job 12 vs 16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. <<<< satan belongs to God revelation 4 vs 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. <<< its a game show. we were created for his pleasure isaiah 46 vs 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: <<<< he will do his pleasure 1 Like |

tosingcfr: when God created man,man was endowed with freewill,that is,the ability to choose between good and evil. He could have created us lik a robot but He neva did. 'Endowed' with freewill which can make him choose evil which the man didn't create. And you expect God to punish the same man for using the endowment that was imposed on him? No one has a lucid grasp of the complexities of spirituality. Stop sounding authoritative. You've only written what has been repeated to you. 1 Like |

Satan once challenged Gods Sovereignty, that God is nt a good ruler, and he does nt want the best for we humans, and if given de chance wld turn all humans from God. That was like a huge blow to him. Hw wld God respond?...shld he kill satan? Sure he has the power to do so, but as a wise God nd who also knew that all other angels were as well watching to see his reaction to dat taunt, allowed situation to answer dat challenge, he let satan to influence humans, we all knw the story of job hw God allowed de devil to test him and hw he(job) maintained his integrity and put satan to shame [job 1:6-12]. God has also given the devil de same oppurtunity to rule and influence all humans today[1john 5:19] to shw wu rily is fit to rule ova humans and we hv of course seen wat a failure satan is. His rulership hs brought notin but pain to us, we hear of death, sickness, wars, hunger nd lots more. God is soon to remove satan nd his rulership and establish his kingdom that will achive all wat satan hs failed to do(daniel 2:44) may we like job neva allow satans influence to draw us away from God, so dat we wil enjoy al wat Gods kingdom will bring in de near future! |

Only God knows why. Moreover, God gave mankind free will. Its either you chose between heaven or hell, God or satan! One thing i have realized is,There's no rest or forever happiness in this life.there will be one problem or the other while you are alive,you will have health Challenges,financial problems,you will even loss your loved ones. Death is the only debt we will all pay one day,its a tool God used to show us that nothing last forever on this earth. So far devil is on earth,he's trying to win souls for himself that why he's influencing it but God sent his only begotten son,Jesus Christ to redeem us which he did and you will only be redeemed by his precious blood by believing that he's your personal Lord and Saviour. Jesus has paid our price but we should not be afraid of him that will only destroy the body rather him that is capable of destroying both body and soul. 1 Like |

Religion the greatest Ask logical questions, they'll say "believe by faith". Complain, they'll say "Who are you to judge? Let God be the Judge" Salvation is free they say but you must give 10% of your hard earned money to God, pay offering, church building collection, pastors thanks giving, help the poor collection etc. You give your offering as Livestocks (Chicken, goats, cows) to God. Pastor sells it right before your eyes, and calls it harvest. THE LORD IS GOOD 1 Like |

victorazy: Stvpid question. Ur simply asking why teachers set exams to their students. Your post is a good example of how men use their human minds to describe God, creation, judgement, etc According to you, God is the teacher and human beings are the students writing exams? This notion is extremely faulty. 4 Likes |

God did not create us like robots. He gave us a free will to choose from wrong or right. Your decision is yours. Obey God or disobey him. God gave strict warning that Adam and Eve should not go near that tree not to talk of touching it. He even told them what would happen if they this obey him. They chose to disobey him knowing well of the consequences of their action. Fashola said we must use the pedestrian bridge, evidently its for our own good. But some people would still cross the express. If they get killed....would you blame Fashola for anything? Read Eccl 11:9. You will be judged based on your decision. I heard someone saying he need to be purified before making heaven. The Bible says "there will be a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness is to dwell" if God destroys the planet as they teach you...will he destroy heaven too? The new heaven has been since Jesus and his angel sent Satan out of heaven, a new earth will be when Satan and his demons are destroyed...only then will righteousness dwell here on earth. Why go to heaven again? 1 Like |
