Why Does The Devil Share Almost The Same Power With God? by Nobody: 12:27pm On Apr 02, 2017
Though am asking a
Stupid question
but am very curious to know why.

God gives a child to a barren woman,
Devil does the same

God resurrects the dead,
Devil does the same

God provides money and shelter,
Devil also has the power to do the same

God sees the future,
Devil come dey like say him see am pass God self cheesy

God heals,
Devil does the same

and so many mysterious things..

I began wondering if there's anything God can do that the devil cannot do or have the power to do...

To me, I feel like this world was created by two people..

the only difference between these two is that

God does good, he gives without seeking for a price

while

the devil dwells in doing bad and causing havoc to whosoever he gives to..

but on a serious note, both seem to possess the same power.

But there's always the strongest which I know is GOD.

Just that I haven't seen what God can do that the devil cannot do..

reason why I want to know why God shares the same power with the devil sad

Because every fictional character needs an antithesis.
Go through your comic books, you'll understand.

God ALMIGHTY and satan(Yahweh, if at all he should be called the devil) are never words and opposite. God the Universe have made the Universe and all his children were exploring it. Yahweh(Satan) makes himself stubborn and rebellious among his brothers, yet that doesn't give him equal power with God the Universe who created him.

It is a case of saying that Subzero in mortal combat game is greater than its maker. Even if Subzero defeats all its fellow fighters, that doesn't bring it close to power with its maker.

@foxyn,

There is no such thing as a "god" or a "devil"!!! This is why christians who are sick and do not take their medicine die, likewise, a devil worshiper who is sick and calls on the so called devil from now till tomorrow will still die!!! All we have is Nature, and Humanity!!! Check out my list............

1.If the devil worshiper and the christian, live in the Atacama desert(no rain for the past 400 years), they will surely die of thirst if they do not have a large storage of fresh water in their backyards!!!v The Devil(a useless comic charcter), will never come to their aid, and neither will jehovah!!! However, if they study nature and move to a place whereby their is adequate rainfall, then their brain(humanity), plus the provision of Mother Nature, has saved them!!!

2.Pastors will always claim that the "god" will never come down from heaven to assist, but will rather send a human as a helper to you!!! Why is this so? cause deep down in your pastor's consciousness, even he himself knows that devil and jehovah do not exist!!!

3.When men wanted to cross the Atlantic, did they surf on the back of a god? Did the devil take them across the rivers? NO THEY DID NOT!!! THEY HAD TO USE THEIR BRAINS TO INVENT BOATS!!!

4.If god created diseases, then why has man conquered so many of them? If god destined that spiders will create spider webs, then how come man has "created" a goat that can produce the same spider webs in it's milk?

because I know and I am convinced he is. He is just pretending to be God while God himself lives inside of us and is everything around us. Yahweh is just a wannabee son of God the Universe.

No, he isn't. How can Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Olorun and Mazda etc be God ALMIGHTY at the same time?

God the Universe their creator is God. He isn't jealous like his children, the jealous gods. Or how can you, A FATHER, be jealous of your children? But yahweh and allah especially are jealous gods because they are brothers. And you know how brothers are jealous of each other.

The devil is not the evil opposite of God. You are elevating the devil to a position he can never attain. The Christian invented this devil because that is the only way they can sell Jesus to the world.
The devil of the Tanakh is under the control of God. Everything created by God is under his control. The devil is not an exception. Whatever the devil does is what God tell him to do. The duty of the devil is to obey the will of God.

It is God that creates both good and evil. The devil just carry it out. Just like pippi in the last Don movie. Isaiah 45:7, Lamentation 3:38, Amos 2:6..

The devil is part of God and has no kingdom out side of Gods kingdom

The devil ONLY acts with the expressed permission from God. As illustrated in the story of Job..

Very nice illustration bro. but why will God allow the devil to distract us from him and also creating hell for those who fall for HIS devilish trap?

thought he's a loving God?

is he purposely allowing this evil to manifest just so we could perish in it and be consumed in hell forever?

just asking this according to what you got in your writeup

I don't know if you created this thread out of genuine curiousity or mokery. But here's your answer anyways.

1: GOD IS OMNIPRESENT, the devil is not. Yes, God can be everywhere at the same time, but the devil can only be in one place at a time.

2. GOD IS OMNIPOTENT, the devil is obviously not.

3. GOD IS OMNISCIENT, the devil is not. Though he wants you to believe otherwise.

5. The devil CANNOT change your destiny. Yes, he can only delay a destiny from being fulfilled but can never change it.

6.The devil CANNOT raise the dead because Jesus is the life and the resurrection. Revelation 1: 19 says that Jesus has the key to death and hell. Remember that it is written "for the devil cometh to steal, to kill and to destroy but I (Jesus) have come so that you can have life and have it more abundantly.

Also, Satan's ultimate goal is to take as many souls to hell as possible so even if he could give life (which he can't), he still wouldn't because his goal is to take you to hell.


Now the reason Satan does miracles is because even though he was banished from heaven, he was never relinquished of his power, also because he is the counterfeiter and the greatest deciever. It is pertinent to know that all of Satan's gifts to men are STOLEN, yes he is a thief. All the gifts he gives are stolen from people (can't explain this now).

I'll stop here for now.

This means you aren't a Christian.

Look, Satan is NOT omnipresent. He is not everywhere at once. He only has demons who are scattered in different places doing the work of their master (Satan).

Are you also not a spirit? Are you everywhere? Are angels not spirits? Does this mean that each angel is everywhere at the same time?

Oya drop the scripture where it says the devil is not omnipresent but has demonstrated scattered everywhere.
Unlike others, I actually have a Bible where if you quote, I'll check it out.
Just like DoctorAlien quoted a scripture and I called him out on it, he hasn't replied since.

You are mixing what the Jews believed in as contained in their Tanakh or old testament with the garbage the Romans concocted later on..the devil is part of the Elohim(God) and those nothing outside of the will of God the creator of all..the creator is the head of the pantheon. Psalm 82:1-5..all the other Gods are under his control
Hell is a Roman/Greeks invention to keep people in check.
Re: Why Does The Devil Share Almost The Same Power With God? by sonmvayina(m): 9:38am On Apr 13, 2017
It is God that creates both good and evil. Life and death, day and night. Everything is for balance in nature. Good and evil..God creates all.

Nothing happens without his OK..

It is human that experiences those reality..to God both mean the same thing..#spiritualtruth

Then you dont know God. I'm telling you that God himself is everywhere and you're talking about angels. We are talking omnipresence here and you're bringing up angels. Argue intellectually with facts.

God himself is everywhere at the same time. Angels are only errand boys and guards to humans who are saved. There's no single angel that is omnipresent. If you do not know what omnipresence means then look it up.

if God is omnipresent as you claim, why does he have angels to do his work for him?

just the same way Satan has demons that does his work for him lol..

don't you have eyes to see the similarity between these 2 spirits? grin

come up with a genuine prove I can bow to..
