Bible Question: Why does God allow a total evil being like the Devil in the realm of human beings? He was GIVEN more power and dominion than us on this planet. Why does the Devil recieved such a priviledged treatment like this? Why does he have all this power and authority? Why doesn't God get rid of him at least for our sake? |
Bible Answer: Hi Finder: Nice to see you my friend, it's been a while since we've seen you here at SBF. Welcome. :-) First I don't think God really give satin the world, in a sense WE DID! Or should I say Adam's sin did. God gave dominion of the Earth to Adam. "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Gen 1:26 But when Adam fell into sin, Gen 3:1-7 that dominion was taken away Gen 3:8-24 and a void left for satin. Why did God allow this? I don't know. But Man doesn't really need satin to show him how to be evil. as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." "THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," "THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS"; "WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS"; "THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD, DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS, AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN." "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES." Rom 3:10-18 As far as getting rid of him for our sake? Well, he sent His Son for our sake! :-) John 3:16 And that's the Good news! And he will "get rid of him" that's for sure! Rev 20:10 Don't worry so much about satin, how about, who Jesus is to you, and what He did for you! Is He your saviour? God bless John |
