Because that'd take away the ultimate leverage that gives credence to the ultimate hustle of religion.

Don't you see, religion is the ultimate hustle. Like you rightly pointed out God is supposedly All powerful therefore can take Satan out of existence if he wants to but why is he not doing it?

If God was all loving he'd want to do it and an omnipotent God can do it and save christians the trouble of countless unending battles at the prayer houses.

God is supposedly both loving and omnipotent why then is satan still there?

This is the exact same reason a protagonist in a movie won't defeat the antagonist or vise versa at the beginning or middle of the movie, it has to be the at the end part - that's how fictions go.

If God defeats satan now then the story is ruined, the plot is shattered because if that happens then there is no fear anymore and no reason to be shouting in crusade grounds anymore, the one leverage they have in scamming people is gone.

This is the ultimate fiction that yields the best dividends...

You just can't understand. Satan challenged God's sovereignty, other angels were there watching. You don't destroy such people like that without allowing time to pass to show how wrong they were.

Satan is arguing that independence from God yields the best good. Jehovah on the other hand has it that man's independence from Him will be catastrophic. Get 3:1-5

Especially starting from paragraph 10.

Satan is on a timed mission.
At the end of his mission he ll be cast into the lake of fire
His fall didnt take God unawares.
Satan is wearing a terrestrial body. He is a spirit and not a flesh that can be anhilliated. He can only be tormented. Same thing with human beings. The body can be anhilliated but the spirit cannot, he can only be tormented.
God had forwknowledge of the fall of satan, the fall of man and everything in life. For him to have allowed it to go on means its in line with his cincept of creation.
Man may rant, yell, abuse and make all the noise yet must succumb to the realities of the good and ugly sides of life.

And it doesn't matter if humans get caught in the crossfire. They are just collateral damage right?

How wrong you are. The issue of God and Satan doesnt fit into the movie scenario you painted because Satan isnt going to be killed rather he will enter into eternal torment with his followers while the righteous will enter into eternal glory.
Nothing is ending, just a cross over to the next phase of life which is unending so drop your movie crap and be ready to bear the consequences of your choice.

SirWere:
Kill Satan

Sacre bleu!


What then becomes of the prayer grounds, well worn now with the stomps of people's feet bashing satan's head daily??


What becomes of the shining missionaries and beautiful cars bought with the money extorted collected from the masses daily



What becomes of the excuses used by anyone who runs foul of the law- from rapists to pastors........or both actually




What becomes of the waste of paper daily devotionaries, prayer books, audiotapes sold at a very high price given to the people




Oh no, don't kill Satan.



Half the pastors will go bankrupt the next day...............

Hell, 90 percent of them will go bankrupt the next day

Satan keeps the church in business that's what they don't understand. Without Satan god is of no use. Also without man to worship him god will worship himself.

KingEbukaNaija:
He called God and Satan fictional characters , what am I supposed to do ? How many times have we proven that God and Satan are real.

Ohh so you have proven that God and Satan are real? By real you mean they live inside your head right? Well done.

Hahaha!

People still believe the lies of the godly.

Ranchhoddas:

They chose their path.

satan is a spirit, and can't kill spirit you either bound them or cast away. that why hell is created for them to burn eternally.

Ranchhoddas:
And it doesn't matter if humans get caught in the crossfire. They are just collateral damage right?

and that why Christ came Luke 19:10
accept Christ and even if you get into crossfire .heaven is yours forever.
