If God can do anything, why can't God eliminate Satan?

Without Satan What would the preachers use to scare you into doing what they think is right?

God allows us to choose to do whatever we want to do.  It is society, humanity and organized religion that puts boundaries on behaviours and sets moral guidelines and laws to be followed.  God could care less what we do.  God loves us regardless and since there is no hell, we will still all return to be home with God when this physical incarnation ends.

Because even if they knew of way to contact Him, God can change His mind based on what you do in the next minute. We do not have scientifically credible and verifiable evidence of the existence of God, Heaven, or Hell; these are a matter of faith, not reason based on firsthand knowledge. Even if it turns out the Bible is right about all of these, we cannot presume to know where God intends to send each of us.

Well everything is greater than god, as he does not exist. The same goes for the devil. This also works for the rich part and the eat part.\n\nThe answer you wanted was "nothing" but it does not quite work.

I don't believe in this stuff, but here's some thoughts:\n\nGenerally, God should forgive Satan if he is a loving God.  \n\nSince God is omniscent, when he created Lucifer, he knew that Lucifer would rebel and fall (basically, he was created to do so).  Did God create Lucifer for this purpose?  Is it possible for Lucifer to repent, or did God "design" Lucifer to not be able to ask for forgiveness?  Do the same rules apply to angels as humans (who can ask for forgiveness)?  Has Lucifer repented?

God wants us ALL to be saved.  Satan has made his choice.  Should he repent (doubtful) God's love would accept him.

Wow that is amazing.  I never knew this.  I am going to look that up when I get home and read about it.\n\nAs far as my answer to your question - I do not believe god can do it because I don't believe the bible...\n\nstill you have an interesting point

'god' hasn't killed anyone since before jesus's' time (biblically speaking).\nand if you believe any part of that teaching then you know that while satan has not directly killed anyone he has influenced many.\nno, i'm not a christian.  i just studied the bible (among other things).

actually, God does whatever he pleases, so I think you can. \n\nIn fact, the Bible is plagued by "disturbing" episodes regarding people who ask for things that arent very honest. So I dont see a problem. God is god, he will do what he wants. And if you are religious, you will believe God has a higher plan, and "bending" the rules for you is part of that.

God is omnipotent and He can do anything except sin. God spoke the world into existence.

God is not good, Satan is the best!

no because god condemns satan.

Here ya go, this should keep em busy for a while!\n1. Why would God entrust the spreading of 'His' word to one of his 'fallible' children? He knows men are sinners and are untruI doubt a professor would allow one of his students to teach a class if all the other students' futures were at stake. If God loved us so much and he wants us to be with him, why would he put our eternal souls at risk like that? \n\n2. If Satan is the ultimate trickster, how do we know that Satan hasn't tricked Christians into worshipping him as God (Yahweh) and are actually rebuking the "real" God in his own name? \n\n3. If god cast the devil into hell and hell is a place for eternal punishment from which even god cannot grant a pardon, then why do the preachers tell us the devil is walking up and down the hallways of high schools tempting teenagers to do drugs and have pre-marital sex? A warden who allows his prisoners the freedom to go out and kill and rape would be terminated for incompetence. \n\n4. I have often heard from many believers that even Satan has a presence in the church, which is why even in church people can still have impure thoughts. If Satan can find his way in the church, how do Christians know that Satan didn't find his way into the Bible and twist the whole book? \n\n5. If the Universe is everywhere by definition, why do theists ask where it came from? How can there be anywhere for the universe to come from if the Universe is already everywhere by definition? \n\n6. Does God think? If so, he cannot be all-knowing. Think about it. \n\n7. If a soul is non-physical and the human body is physical, how does a soul stay in our bodies? \n\n8. If God is all-knowing, how could he be disappointed in His creation? \n\n9. If God is unchangeable (immutable), how is there evidence of a god when everything else around us is changing? \n\n10. Why did God flood the earth to remove evil? It didn't work! Evil came right back, God should have known that would happen! So why did He bother? \n\n11. Why is it that theists tell me that I have to examine every part of the universe and not find God anywhere in order to say that there is no god, when in fact all I need to do is not find God in one location since he is supposed to be omnipresent? \n\n12. If the garden of Eden was a perfect paradise as xians claim, then why did Eve even want to eat the apple? Wouldn't a perfect place provide everything a person would want or desire and thus she would want nothing? \n\n13. Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death" Does this mean animals sin as well? Or uni-cellular organisms? Do plants sin? Because they all die as well, not just humans. Why does an animal die, if it doesn't know the moral difference between right and wrong? \n\n\n14. Why would an all-powerful god become flesh in order to sacrifice himself to himself so that his creation might escape the wrath of himself. Couldn't god, in his infinite wisdom, come up with something a little more efficient? \n\n15. If we are the children of god, and yet we have never seen him, does that make us the bastards of god? Not to mention my mom didn't marry God.\n\n16. After 9/11 a lot of people have been tossing around "god bless america". Why do they keep saying this? From the looks of it god hasn't blessed anything. If god had blessed america, the 9/11 event would've never happened. Theists seem to give the answer of "everything is part of gods big plan". If everything is part of gods big plan, why are we after Bin Laden? Wasn't he and other terrorists just carrying out gods desired plan? So it seems that Bin Laden/ terrorism isnt our enemy , but god. \n\n17. Christians say that God is NOT the author of confusion. Can you say, Tower of Babel? \n\n18. Christians will tell you that if a baby dies it goes to heaven. Why then are they so against abortion? All the child is being deprived of is the opportunity to go

F, because God (probably) doesn't exist, but if he did, then it would be E.  Some people say it was Satan, but the thing is everything Satan does he has to get the O.K. from God first (as seen in the story of Job)  It'd be kind of like how even though the Godfather doesn't kill the people in the Maffia, he does order the deaths.

Satan has dominion on earth to sway humans away from God.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!!

Easy, he can't.\n\nBut that is not too difficult to see once you realize that there is no God in the first place.\n\nThere are other contradictions as well. For example, God is supposed to be omniscient (all-knowing) as well as omnipotent. So if He knows everything He knows the future. So He knows what He will do in the future. So how can He be omnipotent if He can't do something other than what He knows He will do. He is not powerful enough to overcome His own foreknowledge.\n\nGod is supposed to be omnibenevolent, all-loving (in my opinion the weakest of all Christian characterizations of God). If so, God is not powerful enough to control His own emotions. He can't "not love" something.

If God created us, why can't he created other things, after all he created angels, demons and other things.
