Is it really the work of the Devil or just child's play?

He practically has! But God is still in overall control. If you read the book of Job (in the Bible), you will understand that the devil can only go so far. God is more powerful than the devil.

it was the written mouth-piece of the , as was then, powers that be.\nand is still held as such, today by the various "christian" bodies, to control, as you say the peasants, or un-educated.\nits all a load of tosh, written by a bunch of power hungry pillox.\nand yes in this enlightened, and technological society, it should be questioned, scrutinised, and proven beyond a shadow of doubt, to be based on bunk!

I'm not totally sure that these people's actions are fully from God. Not to be like anti-God or anything please don't assume, but Satan also has powers that influence people and can eventually take over their lives. Being a Christian, I don't believe that these men are really doing what you think they are, but I'm not speaking for the whole Christian body, just for me. On the counter, there's nowhere in the Bible that says, "miracle healers are fake," but I can't believe that this is true. There is a passage in the Bible that talks about weak Christians (people who believe that they have to wear a certain thing, look a certain way, do certain things, etc. not saying that they aren't Christians, they are) and strong Christians, (who believe that we can come to Jesus as we are and that He is the sacrifice for our sins.) I think that these miracle healers are the weaker Christians and the strong Christians must help them see that they don't have to do that. They think that they have to heal and touch people to make them well, when really the miracle is from God. I hope that you can make sense of all this. This is a very difficult passage of Scripture to understand.

The devil is real but God is more real-la I know there are things that human see but I see them and i use to talk to him and he gave me what I wanted but see the thing is it wasn't good for me and I will never talk to him again only God. But when talking with God really be careful about what what you ask him he will answer you in do time but be persistent. God knows what you need and what's best for you.

After reading your previous posts...I can only say that you have ALOT of growing up to do.  It is sickening to see that someone would post a scenario such as this as a means by which to get attention.  There are actual children out there that have endured atrocities that you cannot even fathom.  And yet, here you are seeking attention by making false claims that deal with some very heinous acts.  Grow up and realize that posting questions such as this one for your entertainment is absolutely reprehensible.

please furnish me the source of your information that 56% child monsters work. i think that is exaggerated figure. it is better if they go to toilets at home and under unavoidable circumstances some body in school is to take them and i do not think it is wrong

If it all be true God and Satan and the whole bit. Satan has done his work through the manipulation of people through the very thing that they think is protecting them from him. Come on a creature like Satan, with powers and has been around for who knows how long, you don't think he was smart enough to think of that and do it? It's what I would have done and I am just a regular mortal person, and if someone tries to twist that idea by saying things like God would never let the Devil do that, well he need not do it him self, he could just manipulate someone else to do it. People talk about the coming of the anti-Christ, maybe he was already here, say about one thousand, nine hundred and sixty years ago. That would have been about the right time for him to do all the damage to the human race that he needed to through their own religion. This maybe the reason the Bible is so absurd. Knowing some would buy into it and other wouldn't, know that this would put people in opposition to each other. I would have done the same thing.

There is a school of thought that the Biblical inerrancy doctrine is idolatry.  Creationism is the result of the Biblical inerrancy doctrine, and so it is the fruit of idolatry.  It is often claimed by the same people committing this act of idolatry, that idolatry is one of the greatest sins, and is the work of Satan.  From their own perspective, yes, creationism is the work of Satan as a result.\n\nOf course, they'll never admit that assigning divine attributes to a book is idolatry, but it's trivially obvious that it is.

It's not a thought but rather a 'claim' made by 'God' for those whom follow Him.  Therefore; if one believes 'God's' declaration, common logic would follow which 'qualifies' a legitimate claim of such a title 'Child of God'

Satan is a deceiver, so he puts it in the hearts of man to copy the real thing and make up a false religion. The devil is the father of all lies according to the bible.

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.

I don't do the god and devil thing.  I believe the bible is the greatest story ever written, it has it all....murder, torture, slavery, child abuse, unwed mothers ( Mary and Joseph were not married at the time of Jesus conception), adultery, prostitution, robbery, extortion, mass killings, genocide, slander, sex, orgies.  You name it it's in the bible.  The list goes on and on...It really makes me wonder...The so called powers that be have been caught in to many cover ups and scandals to be believed.\n\nOnly my opinion...I am adding this after reading some of the responses you received...The different views are great....but I know I would not like to be in the same room discussing this with the persons who lost their cools here.  Thank you for opening this debate.
