Against the Myth of Satan

Against the Myth of Satan

God created Lucifer and all mankind but he gave them limits too. There is no reason to ask him Of the the limitation he gave us. At least human brought more evil after his rebellion for eating fruits he ought not.
Back to Lucifer, He also was not satisfied by his position by wanting more. He wanted to raise his throne far higher than the throne of God himself.
God does not force any one to obey him.He just tell you the better part you are supposed to be.
 
Can you elaborate more about the fruit... Balacuda mti gani huo? Unapatikana wapi katika mazingira yetu, is it imaginary story about origin sin?

The earth was created way back prior to Lucifer's thrown out of heaven. It was then when Lucifer was thrown out. If you read Genesis 1, you will see God is revamping the earth, because Satan destroyed everything God made.

Ndio maana nilisema, inabiti jamaa descarte anieleza kama anafahamu basics za Lucifer na sio kudandia treni kwa mbele.

God created Lucifer, a high-ranking, beautiful angel who became unsatisfied worshiping God. He became filled with pride and God cast him out of Heaven and onto the Earth (to greet us innocent little humans…gee, thanks). See-Ezekiel 28:12-18-(King Tyre is symbolic for Satan). Interesting note: Lucifer sinned because of pride-in Heaven, and there was a subsequent war in Heaven between good and evil angels (Revelation 12:7-9). The afterlife might not be a blissful cakewalk after all.

So, Lucifer “sinned from the beginning” (1 John 3:8). Yes, there is the obvious, “why would God create Satan, evil, sin, etc. if he is a good, all-knowing, just God.” And yes, he created these horrific things due to his uncanny ability at predestination and foreknowledge (Psalm 139:1-6-and-Romans 8:29-30-among other references in the Bible), as well as being the beginning and ultimate creative source of the universe.

But my question is as follows:-Where did Satan get this extraordinary power? Did God give it to him? The one he-knew-would be evil? Satan-is competing with God to this very day on the same playing field – the power the change hearts and minds, control human behaviors, manipulate and control events, and even steal souls. The way Christians speak about Satan, he seems to even be-omnipresent! He is everywhere on Earth and in human hearts. Christians also talk about some action or event being “God” and another being “Satan”, as if they are two sides of a well-matched battle.

Satan also seems to be so smart, crafty, and powerful that-even God cannot defeat him.-It would seem likely that the creator of the universe would want to get rid of him. Why wait so long? How much carnage must there be before God steps in?

Lastly,-how do we know that Satan is all-evil?And God is all-good? We never get Satan’s side of the story, his reasons for rebelling against God in the beginning, or his reasons for inflicting suffering on Earth. What if he has reasonable justifications? God has an entire-Bible-to tell his side of the story, but we don’t really have a sense of what made Lucifer tick. What if God was acting unfairly toward Lucifer and his angel friends? What if God tempted him by giving him astonishingly good looks, power, influence, etc. then toyed with him by not allowing him to use his gifts? I’m just hypothesizing here on the squabbling between the almighty and his nemesis, but hopefully you see my main point here.

In the end, this is all just a fairy tale. However, I hope this was a refreshing angle for you to think about.

Maswali yako yana busara za Wanadamu.
  • Mosi ni kwavile humjui Shetani...
I think you should hate Satan with all your Heart first. And Love God with All your Heart. The bet way to loveGod is to hate Satan and All his ways.

  • Pili Humjui Mungu..
sisi wanadamu kama wewe, My take...MWombe Mungu ajidhihirishe KWako ndipo Umuulize hayo MAswali...? I think it will make sense for you to have such conversation with God.
 
There are so many questions, no one has the answers except GOD himself. There are things in life which can't be explained, only GOD has the explanations.

If you cannot see the spirit what makes you so much believe that spirit exists?Is that not the same as saying that Santa Claus exists just because you heard of it.
 
On my lifetime experience plus readn others material,no one has reached a clue..so lets believe wat we believ let super Natural power lead..
Not bad questioning though,thats why he gave us brain
 
"Where imagination and human thinking end, beyond of it,it is the beginning of faith"
And God's matter is about belief... And faith..
You might ask me, how you get such faith. That is depend with your thinking and God's grace..
Just imagine..you were borne with your mother,your mother borne with her mother. And her mother borne with her mother and so on....
That is means there is moves until when there is some one who is unmoved mover in such case. That is God my friend.. He or she or it is unmoved mover...
