Satan’s Goal

[dreadnought]

Satan is foremost influence by his native language John 8:44 … which is the sound of a roaring lion. 1 Peter 5:8.

If one looks closely at the dialog, Jesus did not counter Satan's attacks by looking to himself using the "obeying the commandments" mindset … that approach has been proven unsuccessful in the Garden of Eden.

If you love me, you will keep my commandments. John 14:15 RSV

Actually, I think Satan does not have a problem with those who are unsaved when it comes to bad activity. He does best to convince man that they are good on their own and need not God.

Yes, I see a lot of pride in the world.

Satan is the god of this world and he knows that the lake of fire is where he will end up. His goal is to take as many people with him; people were not intended to go to the lake of fire. The ones who go there will do so because they didn't believe and follow and adhere to the Gospel of Christ; instead they believed the lies of the devil.

If Satan know that he will wind up in the lake of fire, I wonder why he continues to battle. Perhaps he thinks he can beat God.

haha he just roams around looking for people to hurt...to sum it all into one hes just really hateful...nothing more..lol

It makes more sense to me that he wants us to bow down to his chosen ones. Remember how he kept telling Jesus to bow down to him?

Sorry, I'm coming into this a bit late and this is a blind post.

Satan's goal is this: John 10:10 and 1 Peter 5:8-9

Oh and not to mention that Satan wanted to be above God.

Yes, it would seem to me Satan wants (present tense) to be above God.

Lol well yes. But I put it in past tense due to the fact that Christ has already won.

 

[Jenniferdiana]

i dont think satan has a goal...hes just roams around hating on others because of what happen with him and God but i think the real reason why hes hating is because he hates God and if he does have a goal its just to get even with God...like i said hes just being hateful..because he is a hater now...

Satan doesn't seem to have given up, though.

But I think the way Satan kept telling Jesus to bow down might be a clue as to what is motivating him.

because he is in denial...ha AND even though God brought him low and below he still thinks hes in power. its like a "i dont care what you say, i will do what i want and you will not stop me" attitude. lol

He continues to lead people astray, though, I believe.

yeah of course because he is jealous and mad God has destroy him and he want to bring others down with him....just to think about it maybe he does have a motive..lol but i still think hes just hateful though..and just wants to be in charge cause it all went to his head

I bet Satan works hard to get the worse out of us.

But why , he has the prophecy in Scriptures that he will be put into Lake of Fire and lose in the end , why is he still trying it's not like God can lie about him being defeated .

On second thought maybe he is not reading Scriptures because he would not have crucified Messiah .

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

I agree.

Remember, this was before Christ fulfilled His mission. Before He died, was buried and rose again.
At this time, Satan was still trying to derail the whole thing and stop Christ from becoming savior.

After this, Satan knew he was doomed. That's when his only options were to keep as many humans from believing the events even happened.

Maybe Satan doesn't believe in the prophesy of the scriptures.

he wants to bring the worst out of people because he wants people to be destroyed by God too and bring them down with him. its like when a person sees someone doing good and having a heart for God but since that person hates God and his character they will hate that person to because that person displays Gods goodness and character,they dont like that because they dont have it in them or it thier heart or they just dont like the goodness of God because they hate it. haha ya know that one verse overcome evil with good etc and something like this one proverbs 25:21-23 it happens everyday people want you to go down with them
