Do you believe that God gives Satan and his demons the freedom to bother people in almost any way?

I wouldn't believe them because satan would never tell you who he is.He would rather deceive you into believing he is someone who cares about you.God would be saddened if you didn't know enough to recognize the devil when you see him.Afterall he has given us a manual to refer to,and yet we doubt what he says.If calling evil just that is crazy,then crazy I am.I know evil when I see it and am not afraid to call it what it is......EVIL SATAN!!!!!

Here's the truth: There is no such thing as a "demon," except as a metaphor. People who are "possessed" are actually mentally ill. They need the help of qualified therapists, not prayers and rituals. We are now living in the twenty-first century and people, including children, still die every year during exorcisms. This is nothing short of madness.

It bothers you because you have the answer in your heart! Of course God wouldn't do that. But religion will tell you otherwise to try and control you with fear. He cannot be loving and forgiving and also send people to hell. That wouldn't make him the conqueror over sin would it? \n\nWho won, Satan or Jesus? Jesus saved the world and that is that. People just don't want to believe that they are free and loved. They want to do good things and be rewarded for them. And they want to be punished for being bad, or see other people being punished. Would you send someone from your family to hell - for anything? So how much more loving and forgiving is God than you are? \n\nYour heart is more reliable than any book.

i think satan prefers we dont believe in him. the bible warns us about satan. that he comes to kill, steal, and destroy. that  he is the accuser of the brethern and the father of lies. the bible tells us to beware of his wickedness and schemes and to put on the full armor of God so we can stand in the day of battle. if we do not acknowledge satan then we can not beware of these things or know how to fight against his schemes. satan wants people to have their heads in the sand so to speak. satan is sneaky and a cheater that will do whatever it takes to kill, steal and destroy. but he was help up in public ridicule at the cross of calvary. satan knows his days are numbered. thank you jesus!

I am a christian also and anyone who doesn't live for God whether they know it or not worships Satan.  Satan paints a pretty picture for everyone...not just non-believers...everyone. He wants us all to believe his lies and deceit. \nI would have been one to follow him if it had not been for the many prayers of my mother. \nI am telling my opinion, so all of those people who don't serve God don't get your underwear in a bunch. K?

Yes I do.  God knows every hair on their head, and he created them in his image.  I am no more valuable to God than they are.  But actually, I don't have any enemies.  If we have enemies, that is not from God, but from satan.\n\nGod is love, forgiveness, peace, etc.  I once was very upset with my boss, who did a terrible thing to me.  Jesus said I must forgive him.  I couldn't.\n\nFinally, I did it as an act of obedience to God, even though I didn't feel it.  I prayed for him (against my will).  It took several months.  One day I saw myself in the heavens singing praises to Jesus as I looked up a white hill.  I was holding the hand of my boss, and he was singing praises with me.\n\nI was healed.

In my opinon, since Satan is the ultimate evil, I'd think that he would appreciate evil deeds and congratulate those who enter Hell on whatever bad thing they did, and they would live quite nicely forever. Maybe that is why somebody would want to live in Hell.

Absolutely not.   Pagan worship has nothing to do with the devil.  It is more about worshipping nature.

it is a deception of Satans. These people honstly believe that they are not out to  do anything bad on others so it can't  be bad. If only the world would just stop and realize, satan is going to use what looks and sounds good to trap them. If the source of power does not come from God then it is bad, and that is all there is too it.

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.

Does that primitive fairy tale sound right to you?  For example why wouldn't Satan use his powers to make Hell really nice so that people wanted to go to Hell?  He could gain power by being nice.  The whole good and evil nonsense in the Bible is really very silly if you actually analyze it.

I would have to say "Yes"\n\nAnd one question I pose to you is what belief do you have or what 'religion' do you take part in?\n\nI believe in God, Angels, the Devil, and Demons...\n\nOne thing to realize though is that God is the highest of all authorities, and the hierarchy of this would be\n\n1. God\n2. Angels / Satan (because he was actually a fallen angel that wanted to be a god himself and with him he took 1/3 of heaven's angels with him to 'Hell')\n3. then demons, which are in essence fallen angels under the rule of Satan himself.\n\nThe most important thing is to believe that God really does have control and He gives us as humans the free will and choice to decide what we will do.\n\nI hope this helps in some way.

Wow sorry about your perception, allow me to change a few things, as i did not intend to seem hateful.\n\n most Christians believe that where God is absent, evil lies. Do i mean this to you directly? well, lets say i reviewed your Q&A and 360 before my post. You basically say you are demon possessed.  Does this mean that you have absence of God in your life, yes i believe so, so im just im just sharing a common general belief there right? no need to feel defensive, honestly.  We could all be closer to God.\nsecondly here i write,\n\n"You poor thing, you have serious issues, its no wonder, you wont let the true LOrd Hold you and save you and coddle you and share his peace and love with you, well how can you expect to be nurtured? and grow into the wonderful being that he planned for you?"\nHave you pushed the Lord away? I know you have, and  I want you to know that you can have all of the above if you let Him in. Does a part of me tell myself that you need that? Yes it does. I see you as hurting. and let me say on a kind gentle note, you dont have to, there are better ways than the sarcastics stated below.\n\n"Now go alienate yourself from all that is Good, take the EASY way; without question,listen to the LIES, deny the ache and stench in your heart, youll feel much more comfortable im sure. "\n\nsarcastic as heck here sweetie do you understand why? Because I have looked at your Q&A,and 360, i am not reacting blindly to this question alone as i would just be sharing what everone else tries to share, to save you, that you are OBVIOUSLY not hearing, anyway.\n\nso i got your attention....GOOD.\n\nSo I peek into who you are and i see, "demon posessed, my demon masters child, death rocks" attitutude.\nand i say,\n"and of course youre nice honey, nice always comes when manipulation is needed,"\n\nguess what? its the truth, generally speaking, it is, and  do i feel it would apply to you, heck yes, it applies to ALL, people dont even realize it.  They sugar coat crap all the time to get the desired outcome, and this too does not come from God.\n\nI hope and pray you have good in you, but isnt that difficult with the demon ruling and all? doesnt he want to make it all about you? if that part of you can undertand good is still in there, bring it out sister, Get strong, and fight, do you realize what bondage you are in?  If you dont think its that easy its because your head is filled with lies.\nI, pregowtwins promise never to fill someones head with lies or spew hatred, but do you know that?\nI wont however pity you or speak  to you condescendingly. You are not a baby, and I (nor was Jesus for that matter), not a pushover.\n\n\n"look at the answerer above me, awww, how true and heartfelt are his comments, he could surely be your best friend."\n\nwell thats just as clear to day as me. Look whos side hes on?\n\nand do you understand in closing that if you..\n "Trust the lies, believe in the false power, there is so much more to gain right?"\n\nyes a bit sarcastic, but you know, you seem pretty steadfast in who you are.\n\nUmmmmm, No.  \nPray for Truth, it will literally set you freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.\n\nBest advice i can give. To me its all about TRUTH, and no i wont sugar coat it, i dont have to, if you cant see it, then youve truly, and respectfully got to deal. No one can save you from the enemy but yourself.\n\nNow if you truly want to know how to do that, if theres something good inside, that wants out, i can "help" you. But you need to fight the Battle, and it  wont be easy. \nGods grace is free, it costs nothing, no price, but its the renewing of your mind, and learning to discern that might be rough.\nyou know the enemy wants you to have and to hold, \nbut trust me, God wants you more, Hes your REAL Father, and He wants you home. you  stated i hate you, but i dont. do i love you, as much as i love myself.  but God, honey he  loves us MORE. look to Him, not

THE DEVIL (satan and his followers) come in many variations to DECIEVE people and take them to HELL with them, when it is all over with.  Satan is an angel and HATE's all Human Beings, satan is not a Human Being. Satan has some powers,NOTHING like GOD IS.  Try the Spirits, to see if they are of GOD.  I am working on some study (BIBLE) to see if GOD put other HUMAN BEING's on other PLANET's.  Untill I get the TRUTH on this, I will treat all ALIEN's(in UFO's) as Satan and his followers.  BUT I will try the SPIRIT's just in case it's JESUS in HIS "frozen light ship", which by the way, is ALOT FASTER then the devil's ships, and ALOT MORE POWERFULL!!!!!!!!!
