Why God Has Not Destroyed The Devil by kolosman(op): 9:30am On Feb 18
We are told that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly good, while the Devil is the source of every "bad belle," every sickness, and every failure in our lives. Our pastors spend hours every Sunday leading "die by fire" prayers to bind the enemy. But if you take a step back and think logically for just five minutes, you will see a massive hole in this story. If God is truly as powerful as they say, why has he not destroyed the Devil once and for all? Well, the answer is simple: the Devil is a necessary character in a fictional script designed to keep you afraid and paying tithes.

Think about it like a Nollywood movie. If the hero kills the villain in the first five minutes, the movie is over and nobody buys the DVD. Religion needs the Devil to stay alive so that the "business" can continue. If there is no Devil to blame for your poverty, you might start asking your government why the economy is bad or asking your pastor why your life isn't improving despite your seeds of faith. The Devil is the perfect scapegoat. He is the ultimate excuse for why an "all-powerful" God hasn't answered your prayers for twenty years.

From a scientific and logical point of view, the idea of an all-powerful being leaving a "wicked" subordinate to torture his children is a sign of a very bad father or a total lack of power. If you see a snake in your child’s room and you have a cutlass, do you leave the snake there and tell your child to "keep praying" for protection? No, you kill the snake. The fact that this supposed "God" allows the "Devil" to keep roaming the earth suggests that either he cannot stop him, or he is working with him to keep us in a state of terror.

The truth is that neither of them exists. There is no red man with horns and there is no old man in the clouds. What we call "the Devil" is just a mix of bad luck, poor choices, and a failing system. We don't need a spiritual war; we need better schools, better hospitals, and more critical thinking. Once you realize that there is no Devil to fight, you stop wasting your energy on "spiritual warfare" and start fighting the real problems in front of you.

Earth is one kind , some other advance souls took advantage played God, came together to create human body or tech that is limiting us and make us feel like a slave. This body is limiting the soul is not the 6 sense of the body is too active to this realm why is it created like that?

Even you are advanced to the mannequin, so how many of yous did it take to create the mannequin?

Rest, of course, it is not an a mannequin that would create you, it must be an advance you that must create the mannequin.

So, it is with He Who we call God.

Are you His child?

Are you even in His House talkless of His Room? Is it not that you asked to be free and do as you like and went outside to play with the snakes and lions in your feeling that you are strong and intelligent like the prodigal child?

So, now you are complaining about snakebites and lion tears what is God's business with it?

Do, you even behave like Him, such that when anybody sees you they would say that you are truly His child?

Of which did you not hear that Satan is thrown into the same fire you are crying about, which means that he too would be wailing and sofarin his own tuments?

Why are you even complaining shebi they don't exist?

In Book of Job, Satan appears among “the sons of God” in a heavenly council (Job 1–2). Why would he who staged a rebellion against God in heaven be allowed to attend a meeting in heaven in the presence of God? Secondly God and the devil even entered an agreement for the devil to bring tribulation upon job household just to test Job. Judging from the above would anyone be wrong to assume that the devil and God and working together and humans are meant to believe that they are enemies?

You are not wrong my brother, the God of the old testament and the devil are one and the same.

Jesus secret and mystic teachings to the Essenes, the nasarean Essenes.

One disciple carried the code, the wisdom code , the Sophia code, the disciple whom he loved the most, the one who laid at his breast at the last supper, it wasn't john , it was Mary Magdalene.

A secret so powerful, they tagged her a LovePeddler, replaced her with John, and removed her gospel, the gospel of Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene was a rich and influential woman from Magdala, She was what we in today's time will call a genius She travelled to Egypt and Greece to learn about Alchemy, she studied the Torah, golden ratio, and sacred geometry the compass and the Square.

During the great persecution, while the other apostles and majority of christians where being killed.

She fled to France, carrying the secret teachings of Jesus, the Wisdom code,the Sophia code, the Silver code, code no 47.

There she formed a group which protected the secrets, it later became known as the Knight Templars, most of them were killed, another group arose known as the order of the blue
Rose.

Then the priory of Sion which was haunted down by the church, then came the freemasons the founding fathers of America who carried the code and adopted the square and compass signature of Solomon temple.

They also adopted Euclid 47th problem on Pythagorean, and America as ordained by God was founded on the fourth day of the seventh month, here we go again 47.

My words are pure words as silver in a furnace of earth purified seven times, silver atomic no 47.

Seek wisdom , seek her as silver, silver atomic no 47.

When you are too big enemies cannot bother you if anything their activities amuse you like a Makoko man fighting Tinubu. Would that fight stop Tinubu from inviting him to asokoro if he wished it?

Clearly, it was a meeting in which he was summoned to show that despite all his activities, they still did not make any impact.

Which even led to God mocking and humiliating him that after all he has done job is still disgracing him satan.

So, clearly the meeting was about Job and how Satan had failed there hence the summoning and the challenge of God boasting that Job would still beat him (Satan) even if God did not shield him (Job).

And every reasonable person can see that.

God doesn't reason like humans {Isaiah 55:8-9} so to understand what happened you have to read carefully and meditate thoroughly.
It's not only Satan that rebelled against God many angels later joined him and since God is the father of all they have the right to assemble among His children. God can't justifiably drive them away when they have not been judged it's after they've been judged that God can justifiably disfellowship them.
So as God's children who believe they are higher than humans in all things God promised to use humans as their judges.
How?
What this angels failed to do is obedience to their father and they feel it is impossible for humans to meet up such a huge task but after Jesus has come and taught humans how to serve God in holiness many Christians became born again children of God through their faith in Christ {John 1:11-12} it's this ones that God used to replace Satan and the demons who were formerly spirit sons of God but rebellious and God started revealing sacred secrets to these born again Christians something that no angel could receive before then! 1Peter 1:12
From that moment Satan and his friends knew there is trouble because they now have humans who have proved faithful to God even in the face of death! Revelation 12:11
So during the time of Job God's promise of replacing Satan and other spirit sons who became rebels seems impossible not until some humans proved faithful to God until death and became born again children of God!

Satan and his demons are interested in proving that what God promised about humans being obedient and faithful isn't possible when we are facing difficulties so God used Job to prove that what He promised will surely come to pass because there will be many who will prove to be faithful like Job when the Christ walk the earth.
So it wasn't an agreement but a death blow to Satan and his colleagues who were nursing the idea that humans can't be faithful, loyal and obedient to God in the face of trials!🙂

An enemy that was able cajole one third of God's Angels into his side and staged a powerful rebellion in heaven shouldn't be invited to the same heaven to attend a meeting don't you think?

Secondly why did the devil even went there without being afraid that God might use that to capture or completely destroy him if he attend the meeting?

Thirdly would you enter an Agreement with your worst enemy to allow that same enemy bring death upon your beloved and faithful child's family?

I love this your opening words:

"You were told"

not

"You knew"

So try to study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses (true Christians) because God never claimed to be all knowing the way Religionists presented Him rather He is HOLY.

Now what does being HOLY mean?

Well it means to be pure in thought this is why God refuses to see any evil in the Good Works He did in creation {Genesis 1:31} someone who is Holy doesn't have any negative thoughts towards anyone but it's after humans begin to increase that God discovered that their thoughts and actions is always evil! Genesis 6:5-6

In fact He had to send some angels who has eyes all over their bodies to go out and see what humans are doing to one another on the surface of the earth {Ezekiel 10:12 compare to Revelation 4:8} they are the ones who keeps reporting back to Him what is happening in most places {Genesis 18:20-21} these are hard facts proving that you've been lied to that God knows everything while He only knows what He chooses to know due to the fact that He doesn't like seeing evil things {Habakkuk 1:13} as it always sadden Him and He loves happiness always! 1Timothy 1:11

All children of God including rebellious ones do take their stand before God in heaven though rebellious ones may choose not to be there after all they are going about doing whatever pleases them not God's will.
mysticwarrior:

Satan knew God won't do such a thing nah because it would mean God lost the challenge!
What Satan told Adam and Eve is that they can do better without God's guidance so it's until that has been proved wrong that Satan could be arrested but until then Satan has the right to move and do whatever he likes!

You obviously do not real eyes that even if satan takes 9/10th of the angels, he still loses and it won't still move God.

But for people like you who can be defeated, you must fear what things are capable of distroyin you.

You don't get it, God cannot be defeated at all, No one is even fighting at His Level, so there is no threat to fear.

Rather He is the One every living soul must fear.

mysticwarrior:

Because that is what it means to be summoned. If God wanted to harm him, he can get him and harm him wherever he is like Trump did to Maduro.

But when you are summoned by The King, no one can touch you or rather no one has a right to harm you. And this is where you see that every living soul Fears God.

mysticwarrior:

Sure!

For first, do you remember that I am The Giver of Life? So if anyone dies, i have power to give them Life again. And then, when I am tired, i will kpai the kila and no one can bring him back to life again.

But the most important part is that i am The Giver of Life, so, it is not a problem.

Also secondly, It is now you understand why Job was regularly doing sacrifices for his children. For whilst Job was my friend, his children were definitely my enemies annoying me everytime but Job use to intercede for them and stop my Hand till i got tired.

And now, satan has come job now that Job's protection is only personal, what did you expect would happen to the children?

It is now you understand when we say salvation is personal and anyone whether child or relative of a righteous person who chooses not to side with God only has himself to blame as after a season, God would no longer cover such person.

Salvation is personal and the choice to be saved is one every individual must make for himself.

You are wrong, there was an agreement that job's life was not to be taken.
Re: Why God Has Not Destroyed The Devil by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:32pm On Feb 20
Well if that is the agreement you have in mind but it's not an agreement rather its a barrier which Satan must not cross no matter what he does to Job.
