Christianity: Satan does what God wants

If Satan doesn't do what God wants, why does God send souls to Hell? God could make a place for the souls he doesn't want in Heaven that is outside of Satan's jurisdiction, yet sends them to Satan. If Satan is doing things God doesn't approve of, why does he send souls under his control into Satan's possesion?

I....don't think hell is Satan's 'domain'. He doesn't rule it.

Though I'm sure Satan wouldn't mind company.

if god hates satan, why not destroy him? isn't god all powerful? didn't god create hell? If i was god and there was some evil demon tempting and tormenting my followers, i would just destroy him with a snap of the fingers. Good fairy tale to scare the living crap out of kids though, i'll give the christians that....

Satan in no way "owns" Hell, it was designed as his eternal punishment because he disobeyed God.

Because:

Hell has better swag

I love to talk to Jesus Christ about my anus problems due to anal sex. I'm in Hell and thats where Satan told me to go at least.

He said JC would know since he is affiliated with the Catholic Church.

Should I believe him?

That explains the presence of churches.

If the Christian God thinks he cannot make souls to live in humans on Earth without ultimately torturing some in Hell for eternity, then why is having humanity worth it? Wouldn't the benevolent choice be to not make humanity?

If Jesus died for our sins, isn't it a waste if we don't sin a lot?Dylan_11

And this is the part where I mourn for the days when someone would have made a snappy xaos joke.

This thread is doomed to deteriorate. Badly.

It's not that God "sends souls under his control into Satan's possession" but all are because of our sin nature Satan's possession from the beginning. However, it is by God's grace that we can break free from this slavery to sin and can instead become sons of God.mindstorm

Two sides of the same coin.

Did God get "pregnant" with the creation of humanity or something? How was it not under his control to not start making it? You can't abort a project you never started.

I love reading these little conversations. I love hearing both sides.

Christianity: Satan doesn't exist. There is in fact a god of death, possibly named Lucifer who does as God commands, but there isn't a satan.NiKva

So Lucifer tempted Jesus under Jesus's own command?

Assuming Satan is a literal thing: Read Dante Alighieri's description of the Ninth Circle of Hell. Satan doesn't "do" anything. It is a punishment as much for him as anyone sent there.foxhound_fox

Is Satan the one who tempted Jesus?

I'm still new to this whole christian thing, did the devil know that jesus was god?

Why does God need these other beings? If he thinks to have other beings, he must torture some of them, then why make them? Why can't he be satisfied with himself and torutring no one?
