Why Do Christians Oppose The Devil Without Hearing His Side Of The Story? by Nobody: 5:38pm On May 30, 2015 |
I was just thinking to myself. Every story has two sides, right ? We've heard God's side from the bible. But how many of you have actually tried to find out what happened according to the devil ? I mean, it's really not fair to the Devil if we just condemn him based on only Gods testimony. Afterall, if i am in a fight with someone and a mediator comes to settle the case, i'd alway want to put myself in the right. N/B: I'm in no way supporting the worship of satan...just wondering if any of you have ever given it a thought. lemme invite some people who appear to be knowledgeable when it comes to religion: an2select2 malvisguy212 emusmith Hiswordxray MizJanet Kay1one2 MrPresident1 , lemme also invite johnydon22 to observe with me. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

I hate Him I don't care what he has to say. When God found evil in Him and threw him out, it wasn't a single story, it was the whole story of Lucidoomed. |

cupid1:I will be really glad if you can provide the devil claimed. meanwhile; Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes Satan as an exceedingly beautiful angel; Ezekiel 28:12–15 12 “Son of man, araise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God: “You were the signet of perfection,1 full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; fevery precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire,2 emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings.3 On the day that you were created they were prepared. 14 You were an anointed guardian cherub. I placed you;4 you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked. 15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you. HOW IS UNRIGHEOUSNESS FOUND IN SATAN? He desired to be God, not to be a servant of God. Notice the many “I will...” statements in Isaiah 14:12-15. Isaiah 14:12–15 12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! 13 You said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ 15 But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit. So you see, God give satan equal right and even create him far more handsome and stronger than all the angels, because of this he desire to be God and don't want to play by His(God) ruled. |

There are two main ideologies in the world... Light/good/selflessness and darkness/evil/selfishness. The devil embodies the later. God represents Love and kindness. Satan selfishness and evil. Its really about what ideology one believes in. As the Bible says; "I have set before you life and death. Choose life! (sic). Now let me go and celebrate Walcott's fa cup goal! 1 Like |

cupid1: We cant be judge btw God and satan, but if we are to allow him chance, then he should come out and defend himself. But for you to now he is truly evil he cant show up, those who claim to have meet with him were all servant of evil, the witches, wizard, the occultist. so i go with the below: StealthyMe: |

An2elect2: Lolol. But YOU have quoted in another thread that god himself creates evil. God creates evil, but He dislikes it, or the devils evil is different from the one that god created? Pls help us out here, and pls think first before you post. 4 Likes |

StealthyMe:From whence did you deduce that he is chronic liar? Still from the one side of the story. Its like saying that you should not have the chance to defend yourself in court simply because the accuser is calling you liar. That doesn't seem fair. 4 Likes |

Lolzzz.. Nice curious question cupid1. . let me observe with you too. But the story of Yahweh and satan just like any other comic stories dont always tell us what made the antagonist do what he does. Like every other Comic story the writer don't always tell the story from the Villain's perspective or the protagonist would have to look like the antagonist this time. Same goes to the quranic version of the story, it didnt still tell the satan side of the story...Lol... Anyway maybe SonOfLucifer can since it is his father's side of the story we want to hear now. . . While we just grab our pop corns and watch . . 1 Like |

johnydon22: There are books "telling" the story of the devil online. google them. I hope you know some people worship this so called devil? |
Re: Why Do Christians Oppose The Devil Without Hearing His Side Of The Story? by johnydon22(m): 7:05pm On May 30, 2015 |
honeric01: So actually you didn't get the drift?. . . If the story of spiderman was in the bible, am sure you would have believed it. . . If you can recognize the criteria by which you deducted spiderman story to be fairy tale, then employ it in the yahweh and satan story in the bible, zeus and hades, allah and satan and other ancient mythologies and lets see how very different they are. 1 Like |

cupid1: I think the da vinci code book shed a bit of light into the "devil" story. |
Re: Why Do Christians Oppose The Devil Without Hearing His Side Of The Story? by johnydon22(m): 7:09pm On May 30, 2015 |
honeric01: Ooh i know far too well people worship this devil. . people will worship anything ranging from stones to mythical entities (abstract ideas) found in the pages of books like god(s)/devil(s)... . So its quite understandable. For the books online,.Uuhm i'd actually prefer books arranged in verses and chapters like the quran or bible. . |
Re: Why Do Christians Oppose The Devil Without Hearing His Side Of The Story? by johnydon22(m): 7:10pm On May 30, 2015 |
honeric01: And the da vinci code book was not even written by Da Vinci so its forgery and da vinci was a christian not satanist. therefore the da vinci code fails to pass the criteria needed to for it to be taken serious. |

honeric01: Its not a conclusion, its an imaginative assumption. . . I might be wrong.. But i am wondering if you are a christian and dont believe the stories in the bible in toto then it leaves us wondering if you think some part of the word of god aint worth believing.. |
