Why does God want to wrestle with his own creature,Satan? Is Satan that strong?

Satan is being allowed to go free for the moment to give humans the chance to exercise free will. Read about the battle of Armegeddon; it doesn't last very long, and God wins easily.

Satan is very subtle.  He doesn't even want people to believe he exists.  Anything that causes people to doubt God and Jesus' divinity certainly helps Satan.  The world is a spiritual battleground, and most people aren't even aware of it.

People have inner demons they fight with everyday. Satan is the demon.

There is most definitely a spiritual warfare going on around us. Everywhere. Everyday. The battle invovles Satan and his fallen angels versus God and His angels. We just can't see it. The battle is over our very souls. The devil is out to destroy our souls--so that we the creatures that God loves will end up in hell with him fo all eternity. But God who is truely a loving God will fight for our souls. But ultimately, the choice comes down to each individual soul--to choose to follow Christ or to give in to Satan and his demons. In spite of all Satan's efforts to defy God, God will come out as the Champion--though some souls will sadly be lost forever. God is in control, and as long as a person truely trusts and believes in Him, they have nothing to fear from this spiritual battle. In fact in doing so, that personis cotributing to Satans final defeat

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.

I read the answers people posted and i must say i'm appaled. God gave satan domain over the earth to do with what he could.  He's trying to pull as many people away from God as possible, we are also entering the time where revelations is coming true, Jesus is going to return and it won't be an extremely long time.  This is the havoc that satan is causing because it's his last chance to keep people away from God.  He wants God's people to turn to him and away from God and many many people are, that why this exsistence is so hard, Satan is tempting, teasing and testing.   Stay on the right fork of the road my friend and you'll be just fine hun.

Mortals cannot fight him, neither can the angels. When Michael the archangel fough with Satan he called upon the Lord for help.\nJude 1:9  But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"  Dealing with him is God's job, we are told to "give no place to the devil" Just sta away from him and let God deal with it.

Satan was cast down to the earth by God. God Then made man and gave him domenon over the earth and ever living creature.. because satan has now lost the control of the earth to man.  satan then tricks man into sin, seperating man and God. because of Gods Holyness & being True. \nPENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH, \nMan goes threw a period of spirital and physical death.  while satan reclaims the earth for himself.     \nthen God prepairs the greatest sacrafice.  Which was Jesus Christ and through repentece & acceptence man Is restored to his place with God.  Clean from sin.  and given a new purpous to go and tell anyone who will listen that he or she can be restored.  \n     Every man & every woman would like to know that the people that stand with them, by there side are there because they  choose to out of love.  Nobody wants a robot for a friend.  God doesnt Ether.  My purpous is to serve a God who loves me enough to give his own life in my place.   what is your purpous????????

Because it is not necessarily God's will. He created us all and gave us all free will. Also, Satan is the one who is in charge of the bad things that are happening to us all! But, I think that God can(and does) use some bad things that happen to us and he turns them into a test...I think that it is mostly a test of faith. Hope this helps!

satan tries to stand in the way every time we get closer to god and we need to fight him the whole way even though you may feel it is impossible to love god with your whole heart just trying to evict satan from your being is enough to get to heaven you must resist the evil that is satan if you want any chance to gain eternal peace but.... the most important thing is to accept jesus christ as your savior and welcome him into your life now do not wait !!!

It comes from the true source of all hatred---Satan the Devil. He does not want anyone to worship the true God. He is angry because he was thrown out of heaven, along with his demons and like a roaring lion, he is always looking to devour someone--and when we see all the hatred,injustice and suffering all around us, we realize that many are following him. We must remain faithful to God till the end, for soon Satan and all who are on his side will be put out of existance forever.

A better question: Since Satan is so smart, would he REALLY make it so that "his work" can be picked out so easily? Satan could be GOD for all humans know; don't you think that would be the more ingenious move?

The same reason Satan does what he does.  Because they are evil and it amuses them.
