Who Really In Charge Of This World Affairs, God Or Satan? by Oxfordgrade: 8:17am On Jan 29, 2023
Jw.org has really tried in shading more light on this issue. But I am also perplexed on the complexity of stunning explanations from some scholars ( base on my personal research). Please I need more of your input for instance, Nigeria as a country has her own leader who is accountable to the citizenry weather bad or good; so my question is in the face of all th evil permeable in this world, who are we to hold accountable to; and between God and Satan who is the boss??

Very correct.
OP, pls read 2 Timothy 3:1-7,13 & 1 Corinthians 14:33 , then ask yourself:
Would God be in charge of rulership where chaos & unrighteousness thrives everywhere on the earth?

Would God make this promise in 2 Peter 3:13 if He
were the ruler of this wicked world where chaos & unrighteousness thrives?

The Bible is self explanatory on this matter.
Nobody would force anyone to believe in the holy scriptures.

Daniel 5:21 is king Nebuchadnezzar's confessions of God's Sovereignty over the Babylonian king and man in general.
God humbed the king (for his arrogance , please read Daniel chapters 3 &4 for the details) & the king ate grass like beasts , for a period of time before God restored him to his senses & back to his Babylonian throne.

Simply put,Jehovah is Supreme over His Creation.

However, God has allowed man to exercise independence since Satan challenged God's Sovereignty over Adam in the garden of Eden.
Please ask JWs near you, for a Bible study & ask more questions about any bible topic of interest to you.

Shalom.

Dan 2.21
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.

In this verse, we learn that God is in charge of the global politics. He appoints rulers and removes rulers.
He does not take the personal decision for these men while on the throne but he is the reason they sit on the throne in the first place.

Satan is not really challenging God. All he is doing is simply to attack all of God's Work to destroy them or get them to destroy themselves.

And God is just laughing at him watching as he suffers going against God's Works especially where Satan loses.

Oga, calm down. grin grin

Satan challenged God's Sovereignty in the garden of Eden,as a result,God allowed Adam and man by extension, to exercise independence from God and man rules himself.
(When a student sows doubts on his fellow students & claims that his Teacher is misleading them & hiding stuff from them.
To expel the 'rebellious' students doesn't adequately address the issue raised.

Grant them the chance to teach or prove who is right....)
Although that was not the original plan of God, Jeremiah 10:23.
Recall that God gave Adam instructions and laws to guide him.
That is God's Sovereignty over Adam but Adam rejected it & believed Satan's claim that he can decide for himself (independence from God) "knowing good and bad & be like God".

The results- sickness, mourning,death,chaos & crisis everywhere.

Today, the result of man's independence from God's direct authority and rulership is very obvious.

Ecclesiastes 8:9
In other word god plan changes as opposed to
God's will never changes. Psalm 33:11 says, β€œThe counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.” His Word is Timeless and His Promises are Everlasting.. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.. was he confused in the first place..

Also.. in your words the evil we experience today is as a result of Adam and eve choice to differentiate between good and bad .. in other words god is a non forgiving or merciful as opposed to Ephesians 2:4-5 – β€œBut God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ β€” by grace you have been saved.”..why not in Adam and Eve case? 😏

Again I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. King James version Isaiah 45:7
God created evil..It was his fault that evil exist at all...So in context It was the God of this tradition that β€œgave” evil to this world...πŸ₯±

Watching you believers explain Adam and Eve can be interesting..because yoy have to bob and weave while explaining it..because you folks typically think that:

God designed the Garden of Eden for Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve shouldn’t have eaten the fruit. Naughty humans!

God has a plan

God knows everything that’s going to happen
These just don’t make any sense when you take them together..It would be like me claiming that I built a snowman and expected it to never melt...But I also knew it was going to melt and had a special use for the water from the melted snowman..

There is only one God and creator of all..
There is only one power in the world.
There is only one almighty God and father..

That is why it is called UNIverse..

All others are called "sons of God", messagesrs, Angels....and the yorubas refers to them as "Orishas" They are not God..

Whatever happens, whether good or bad, happened because it is the will of God...

Read Isaiah 45 from 1 to 25, and especially 14...

Re: Who Really In Charge Of This World Affairs, God Or Satan? by sonmvayina(m): 1:13pm On Jan 29, 2023
Satan is not a God. To even think God has a rival or adversary is laughable and insulting...to say the least..

Satan is a principle within God....A principle that can only be experienced within the limits and boundaries of God....no more no less.

Damn Christianity...and it's deception...

The greatest lie that has stood the test of time..

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel is definitely the supreme ruler over this earth....
With His sovereignity, He has allowed a created being--Lucifer/satan-- to have massive dominion over the earth.
What is happening there in Nigeria is that a principality has had and continues to have massive dominion. Spiritual wickedness in high places is what is going on. Until people understand that spiritual warfare is the main thing...people possessed with demons, familiar spirits etc. operating on the earth, and trying to recruit as many as possible, then .....well....need I say more. This thing is spiritual--not fleshly. We, humans, cannot discern cause we don't know Jesus. We open the doors for spirits (either the Holy or fallen) to possess us and then we live our lives influenced by the spirit(s) inhabiting us.
Next comes confusion, chaos, disorder, death.....etc., and the cycle continues for generations.
Be not mistaken though-- God sees all....and is ultimately in control of all.

Many scriptures exist to support this.
Will have to come back to list some.

Go and read about Criminal Responsibility

Liability and responsibility is stillrestricted to only acts a person did directly hence, it is always about doings aka Acts and Failure to do all Omissions eg counseling a person to be disobey Law. The disobeyer of The Law is still responsible for his direct disobedience to Law even if it was another person who sold him the idea of breaking The Law!
