Why Does The Devil Tempt People? by LordReed(m): 7:07am On Aug 29, 2018
As strategy for recruiting people to his side its very poor. Anybody that sins gets condemned to hell where they cannot participate in the Devil's fight against God. Even as a tactic of removing pieces of the board, it's poor because he was already vastly out numbered 2 to 1 before humans and God is supposed to be omnipotent so he doesn't even have a chance but accordingly he seems bent on tempting people. To what end? May be he should be tempting the angels and Jesus?

You need to watch the series "The Messengers" , it will help explain why.

You dont necessarily get condemned to "hell" because you've sinned or have sinned

The end of having the soul(s) and mainly because he is the definition of a psychopath

You didnt read the memo, he already did

Huh? "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"? "but he who does not believe is condemned already"?

Ahh yeah so God is letting a psychopath run around amongst his children? The loving God, the omnibenevolent God?


You didnt read the memo, he already did

Yeah but why concentrate on humans? He'd be better off persuading Jesus and angels to his side at least he'll have a fighting chance. With humans he'd get a bunch of squishy, easily defeated bunch.

It matters a lot because it will answer why you do not attack other religious outfits .

Yep you heard right that was before you refined your statement.
The latter "but" part of the above wasn't in your original remark

By the way, you do accept that, not everyone who commits a crime goes to prison

LordReed:

So you now know better than God how to go about the whole thing. Hmm?
You've suddenly become an expert in knowing how properly things of this nature should be handled and tackled. Right?

LordReed:

The prophetic declaration borne out of omniscience has him concentrating on humans to devour upon.

He already persuaded half the innumerable angels but had no success, three times he tried it on Jesus

Humans are lying in their beds as they laid it

I have noticed something on this forum, and that is atheist here are cowards who baselessly attack Christians and Christianity .Go and attack Islam.. try that with Muslim and Islam and see if you won't be victims of an early death . Cowards!

Of course it wasn't part of my original remark, I quoted scripture to answer your response.

Ok so not everyone who sins will go to hell? What determines which sinner will go to hell and which won't?


So you now know better than God how to go about the whole thing. Hmm?
You've suddenly become an expert in knowing how properly things of this nature should be handled and tackled. Right?

LoL! Jesus said " If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!", in other words God is a better parent than we are and yet you are telling me God's good parenting means he allows a psychopath to keep killing his children? LoLz.

The prophetic declaration borne out of omniscience has him concentrating on humans to devour upon.

So if someone comes to tell you he will kill all your children tomorrow regardless of age, you will sit back and accept it? And not just anybody, someone you absolutely dominate in any sphere of existence, you'll accept him to do so?

He already persuaded half the innumerable angels but had no success, three times he tried it on Jesus

Half? I thought he succeeded with a third? And yes he should concentrate on persuading Jesus and the angels even he has tried before. Does he not persist towards humans even when they resist?


Humans are lying in their beds as they laid it

How so?

LoL! Full rubbish. Why do you think they ran away to their own section? And why they have that rubbish declaration put on your profile if you attempt to comment in their walled garden? Muslims are the cowards because they cannot stand free rational thought.

I do maintain that you dont necessarily get condemned to "hell" because you've sinned or have sinned.

Notice the scripture you happily quoted said you're condemned for not believing

You're missing a trick, if you do not believe, and so condemning yourself already

LordReed:

What determines which sinner will go to hell and which won't?
What determines which sinner will go to hell and which won't is similar to which accused is sent to prison and which isn't.
Based of the representation put forward by your brief, the Judge will evaluated and from after that determine whether to set you free or send you to the slammer

LordReed:

Are you doubting God's ability and sense of good judgement here?
Please feel free and don't be shy in admitting so if you do and really are

I don't seem to get you.
What are you playing at?
Are you sneakily trying to put God on the stand here?

If you thought he succeeded with a third, I know it was a third but trust my finger to go type twice.

He is no match for the rest of the angels and not even Jesus.

Besides, he was told humans, will he prey on all the days of his life.
Elsewhere we are warned that he is about prowling to see who is can devour

LordReed:
How so?
Arent we not?

The question is who ever goes to hell cannot fight for Satan what then is he's benefit?

Actually it's you who is putting God on the spot. You mentioned that Satan is the literal definition of a psychopath and I asked does God now allow a psychopath to constantly harass and kill his own children, to which I asked you a question to illustrate. If you feel that puts God on the spot then you have yourself to blame not me. You are the one who has to show how letting a psychopath constantly harass people puts God in a good light.


If you thought he succeeded with a third, I know it was a third but trust my finger to go type twice.

Wait he could persuade a third of the angels doesn't that indicate a possibility of success?


Besides, he was told humans, will he prey on all the days of his life.

He was told prey on us and its our fault?

I can't seem to make out what you meant and tried to say with this remark.

LordReed:
So if I believe and still sin I won't go to hell?
That is for the Judge to decide and might partly be based on the strength of the defence given by your Brief, brief or how you represent yourself if you haven't any to put your case forward before the Judge

LordReed:

Its you my friend behaving and writing weirdly because you think God has lost the plot.
You seem to forget God allowed His Son too, to be harassed and finally as He was killed.
God is not a hypocrite
You're behaving as if the harassing of people and the killing of His Son was not prophetically declared from day one of eating the fruit of TTKGE

LordReed:

Wait, think about it.
He's persuaded the persuade-able, there isn't any more possibility of success with the ones he failed to persuade

LordReed:
He was told prey on us and its our fault?
You make me laugh kikikiki ki.
If it's not our fault, whose fault should and/or would it be then?
On whose doorstep do you want place the fault?
