Bible Note: Darktanianxx You have it all figured out in human logic, however human logic falls short. Scripture says God laughs at our wisdom. You may be right and Satan is that stupid and thinks he can kill God. However that is not seen in his actions where he answers to God and submits to God. No I believe Satan has another goal, of which neither you or I have any concept of. I wonder if we don’t see a glimpse of it in the Book of Job. God is more or less bragging on His servant Job and Satan is responses that he only worships God because of what God has given him. To me this speaks of something far deeper than Satan thinking he can kill God. In any case we have the end of the Book and we can clearly see whatever Satan’s goal he fails and God’s victory is assured. EdB |
