First of all the Bible says that satan is the god of this world.  Why? Because GOD (The Almighty aka Jehovah) is allowing him to rule over earth for a short while.  Why? Because satan made a claim at the very beginning of mans existence challenging Gods sovereighty that had gone unchallenged for billions of billions of years.  With that being said God is just and fair as so as to let satan prove his point.  \n\nWhat you need to understand is that just like there are conterfeit dollar bills there are also conterfeit Christians.  False religion aka false Christians make it hard for honested hearted ones to find true Christians.  \n\nMost people that jump on Yahoo Answers and post religious questions have no Bible based knowledge and reject that knowledge when it is given to them directly from the scriptures.  Study your BIBLE.  Get to know your God.  Preserve your soul alive.

Very true and very sad.  It's horrible that those who have answered other questions here and claimed to haved live as Christians previously, but have turned away don't realize that also.  It's silly that those who don't believe honestly think they can have so much hate and it comes from themselves, but then claim that Christians are the ones who hate.  They don't understand that because of our love for God we will defend Him to the end, fully acknowledging that He does not need our help, He certainly can handle it!!  But that Satan wants to put anger and fear and doubt in all of us.  Satan's total reason for being is to turn us away from God...he has no other purpose.

I don't believe this is the work of God or Satan, but a grotesque way of rationalizing his actions.  I'd guess his motivation for this is to soothe his guilty conscience.  Unfortunately, I don't think grotesque rationalization is so unusual as to qualify as "crazy", just garden-variety despicable.

It is obvious to me that the evil in the world does not come from following the teachings in the Bible, but come from ignoring those teachings.  If people loved one another, treated one another as they would like to be be treated, were kind and helpful and did not take advantage of one another, the world would be a wonderful place.  That is the Bible teaching.  Where the people live the commandments of God there is peace and harmony.  This is the God I believe in, love, and will follow.  Satan is the one who spreads dissent, hate, discord, war, and suffering.  Satan wants you to not believe in the Bible.  There is no doubt in my mind who the good guy is, and who is the evil one.

I am sure that God created the universe in only 6 "days". The question is, how long were these days? One day at that point in time could actually have spanned millions of our years. This would explain dinosaurs and evolution and a few other questions. I don't think Lucifer was banned to Hell until after Humans were made and I think he was a human who died and went to Heaven and then was bannished to Hell. He could of even walked with some of your ancestors. (Creepy, huh!)

Chaos theory dictates that if the whole world was christian, then a new religion would emerge.  being christian is believing that the "phone game" about god has been true for over 6000 years.  Silly if you ask me.  It is a simple concept that is learned in American Kindergarten.  The phone game lies in as little as 30 seconds... well there are a lot of seconds in 6000 years, and you treat the bible as historical fact?  Who is the non-believer now?

because Satan is at work destroying God's creation. It will never get better until the End.  Then everything will be destroyed with fire.

You've stated just a few reasons why I ended up asking the question, "Is it possible that the Christian God and the Muslim God(Yahweh and Allah) are the same entity as Satan? The character flaws exhibited by the religious "good gods" can be lined up point for point with the understood character flaws of "Satan". One of the most sadistic stories I've ever read has got to be the story of God telling Abraham to sacrifice his own son and then, "Oh, sorry just testing". You don't get any more cruel or mind-controlling than that.

It involves the governments, but it's also about the rule the world is currently under. 1 John 5:19 says the world is lying in the power of the wicked one. So this system of things is ruled by Satan, in other words he is the god of this system or these wicked times we live in. If you like you can e-mail me and we can discuss it further.

Not sure if its mentioned in the text but don't muslims think there was a split in heaven when Adam was created?  Something about Allah wanting all beings to worship Adam and Satan refused and led a revolt.  Some angels sided with Satan and some with Allah.  Those who could not decide were sent here as humans to make their decision.  Something like that, I'm probably butchering their theology.

Well Satan is throughout the bible,Devil is throughout the bible. Shining one son of the dawn Isaiah 14:12. "the god of this system of things" is in 2 Corinthians 4:3,4\n"the ruler of the world" is in John 12:31

1) The world was created by God, who is everywhere, sees everything, and knows everything about us, and still loves us more than we can even imagine!\n2) We were not dropped from the stars; God created us in his image at very beginning of Creation. Have you heard of Adam an Eve? They were the first humans. Unfortunately, they ate the forbidden fruit even after God instructed them not to. But if you think about it, if Adam and Eve hadn't disobeyed God, someone else would have just because we can't leave well-enough alone.\n3) No, the Bible is way more than a story--it's the truth! It is God-breathed, God-inspired, written by men who were instructed by God what to write. Yes, God CAN speak to humans!\n4) I do pray, though not nearly enough. And I pray to the one and only God, Jesus Christ. God loves when we talk to him, because it brings us into deeper fellowship with Him. When Christians talk about intimacy with God, that does not mean jumpin' into bed with Him! It means having a very deep and personal relationship with God, even though He rules over all! He wants to be our Friend.\n5) When I die, God promises eternal life in heaven to all those who believe in Him. The physical body dies, yet, but the soul (spirit and soul are the same thing) escapes from the body and experiences life with Jesus in heaven.

God created it. All go to hell at death including Christians.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god.Look at a map.In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said. Apparently its to difficult for most Christians to actually look up the meaning of a word, they prefer to listen to the lies that their preacher spews from the pulpit. My God will put you in hell when you die,the grave, and regardless of your beliefs or how you lived you will be resurected for judgement. To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14,this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment.I am a Christian and I think its a shame that churches use these kind of scare tactics to keep people in church.

Definitely, Hell is very real. Why do you think there is hate and sin in the world now. Satan is trying to gain as many followers as he can before Jesus comes again. Satan (AKA Lucifer) was "booted" out of heaven when God realized that Lucifer (his favorite angel at that time) wanted to be God because Lucifer was jealous of God.
