But we do have a record of Satan offering to give Jesus all the glory of the world if Jesus would bow down to him and Jesus does not dispute this. Therefore it is perfectly reasonable to say that Satan had authority over the world.
Statistically irrelevant. The main casualties are older people with underlying conditions.
I am assuming Gods Sovereignty and then describing what He is allowing. The people who are dying are the ones who have literally let themselves go,
The only one where no blame can be attached is the age of a person.
In my experience there is a connection between people who have given up spiritually or who have no real discipline and people with physical problems.
Some Christians have a discipline about bible study and prayer and none regarding their own bodies.
But we do have a record of Satan offering to give Jesus all the glory of the world if Jesus would bow down to him and Jesus does not dispute this. Therefore it is perfectly reasonable to say that Satan had authority over the world. Yet when Satan tempts Jesus He refutes him with the word of God and Satan also uses the word of God to tempt Jesus. This shows that they both recognized God's word as a higher authority.
Who gave him this authority?No where in the Bible did God specifically say He gave satan "authority" over the whole earth.
Luke 4:6
And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
he {satan] pretended God did.Who gave him this authority?
Then Jesus would have called him on it.he {satan] pretended God did.
he is the father of lies--no?
John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
Doesn’t say that, either one.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+3:23&version=KJVWhere does it say God rejected all of us at all?
I don’t accept it and I still am able to accept that God loves the world. Where does it say we receive Jesus obedience though?
Then Jesus would have called him on it.
You claim that Satan's statement to the Lord was a lie, that God didn't give him this authority. I cannot see Satan being able to lie to the Lord without Him catching it.You seem to think the Bible should list all the particular "dos" and "dont's" and truth and lies. Your Bible would be huge, and then would people understand it even more?
You simply answer the question of whether God gave satan authority or NOT from other verses in the Bible.
You have not heard the phrase ---The Bible interprets the Bible?
God rejected all of us because we receive Adam's sin, that is already a punishment.
If you don't want to accept that, you won't be able to accept that God now accepts us because we receive Jesus's obedience.
By faith in Jesus, who paid for our sins, is how we are accepted by God. Despite all the Scriptures that show what a Gospel Faith means, you apparently feel you are not responsible before God to remain faithful to the end to be saved.
You are free to believe what you like, but what you are proposing is not in the Bible.
Humans will not being punished for anyone's sins but their own.
Ezekiel 18:19-23 (WEB)
19 “Yet you say, ‘Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live. 20 The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
21 “But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die. 22 None of his transgressions that he has committed will be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done, he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord Yahweh; “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?

Your definition of faith includes works too?
You claim that Satan's statement to the Lord was a lie, that God didn't give him this authority. I cannot see Satan being able to lie to the Lord without Him catching it.
So now you say that the Lord did catch him on it, but the Bible just skipped that part. It seems to me to be a very critical point to clear up, if God has not given Satan authority over the world then we should be told.
So, who is Jesus talking about?
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
Who is Paul talking about?
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Theconcepts your words communicated are not there.Scripture did not mention "Trinity" nor "Rapture" too.
It’s really better to stick to what was said. Sin entered the world brought Adam. We know of two who didn’t die. Adam didn’t respresent us to God. We each sin ourselves. We need no one to represent us as regards to sin. We sin ourselves before God.Romans 5:12-19, Adam's sin condemned all his descendants to death even when we committed no sin. He was our representative before God.
Recognizing God’s word as authority is limited to those who do it. Satan doesn’t respect it in the sense that it has authority over his choices. He's more uses it. It seems he needs permission for some things but not others.But we do have a record of Satan offering to give Jesus all the glory of the world if Jesus would bow down to him and Jesus does not dispute this. Therefore it is perfectly reasonable to say that Satan had authority over the world. Yet when Satan tempts Jesus He refutes him with the word of God and Satan also uses the word of God to tempt Jesus. This shows that they both recognized God's word as a higher authority.
Sin entered the world so it affects babies.But you already agreed that babies can die prematurely, even thought they could not do any sin.
I’m confident I can find it as a verb too.Romans 3:23 Sin is a noun in almost all of Paul's writings.
Your said we receive Jesus’ obedience. This verse doesn’t support that view. Each man is judged for his own obedience or not. We don’t get the credit forobedience we didn’t do. Forgiveness? Yes. Rewards? No.As for your 2nd question
Romans 5:17, KJV: "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
I’m confident I can find it as a verb too.
