Ha-satan. The tester or prosecutor. He tests for quality. An example is testing one who claims to have a strong faith. Is that faith truly strong, or does it crumble when push comes to shove?WHat people choose has nothin g to do with the fact that a god who supposedly loves his creations created satan and unleashed him
Not bitching you are being defensiveThen quit bitching about a god you don't believe in
Yeah that's just another rationalization.Ha-satan. The tester or prosecutor. He tests for quality. An example is testing one who claims to have a strong faith. Is that faith truly strong, or does it crumble when push comes to shove?
What are you accusing Ha-satan of doing? Exposing the weak and wrong-doers?
Shrug--it was no test. Alcohol was kept in plain sight on the top of our kitchen cabinets. There was always plenty because people kept bringing us alcohol (host/hostess) presents and we barely at all. A total of six teaspoons a year was a lot for me. My husband had the occasional beer. Our girls knew alcohol was only for adults so they never touched it. Helps when parents bring their children up, advising they to do the right thing. You know...like God does.Tell me do you test your kids "quality" by allowing them free access to booze and drugs?
If god is perfect he shouldn't need to test his creations for quality.Shrug--it was no test. Alcohol was kept in plain sight on the top of our kitchen cabinets.

I thought you were smarter than this. Our ancestors were brilliant storytellers. They recognized that the wish to do the right/ideal thing was at odds with that secondary wish to do the wrong/evil thing. It came with the package of mankind electing to know/experience both good and evil.And if your god is perfect why does he need "quality" control?

Again, aren't you smarter than this? That is like saying teachers should not have to test students to identify who has learned the subject matter. Tests tell both teacher and student what they have--or have not--learned.If god is perfect he shouldn't need to test his creations for quality.
gods don't teach they give orders to be followed.Again, aren't you smarter than this? That is like saying teachers should not have to test students to identify who has learned the subject matter. Tests tell both teacher and student what they have--or have not--learned.
The Bible is clear that a majority of civilization will choose to turn away from GodWhen you live a life in Canada and learn that which you weren't supposed to be privy, one has to ask one of the above questions.
I ask you, which is the prevailing factor of misery on earth? Maybe I am losing Faith in the Lords intentions when I should be worrying about the rising power of evil that is among us.
Satan (the tempter) has everything to do with human nature. Notice who Jesus called 'Satan'--his closest follower because the man closest to him was tempting him to go to a safer place, lead a safer existence.Human nature has nothing to do with Satan.
Satan is the made up Boogeyman for religions.
I am sorry IF that has been your experience. Mine has been much different, with much patient teaching.gods don't teach they give orders to be followed.
The devil only has the power you give him.When you live a life in Canada and learn that which you weren't supposed to be privy, one has to ask one of the above questions.

But that only leads to the day that Jesus returns to save us from ourselves

That is not always true IMOThe devil only has the power you give him.
If you're a Christian the devil can't harm you but you can give him the power to harm you.That is not always true IMO
There are evils in this world that really don't have much to do with the person experiencing them. Look at the war in Ukraine. Those people did not want Russia to invade.. did not want to lose their homes.. loved ones
that is probably true 98% of the timeIf you're a Christian the devil can't harm you but you can give him the power to harm you.
