why does satan still live ?

[Omid]

Alright,
General question, while seeking your oppinion.


Why does GOD still let Satan live?
Why, does he still let him occupy earth?
What are his reasons?


I kinda know. Though my knowledge is limited, but I do seem to see his reasons!

Waiting patiently for you replies As you never disappointed me!

GOD BLESS

If God was to judge evil now, all evil would be judged. And why doesn't God judge all evil? Why does God allow evil men and women to live? Should He instead kill them before they do evil deeds? Should He judge murderers and rapists now? What about thieves and liars, adulterers, fornicators, those who lust, and those who hate? If God judged evil today, all unconverted men and women would perish under His wrath. Thank God that He is patiently waiting for them to turn to the Savior and be saved from His terrible wrath.

Even Lucifer gets a chance to come back. That's the definition of patience and love in God.

Hi there!





Why does GOD still let Satan live?


I think angels are created to be in an eternal state, so satan is going to live eternally, but eventually will be cast into the lake of fire.

Re 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Why, does he still let him occupy earth?


Because it is still a part of God eternal plan.



What are his reasons?

For one thing, God is just and unchanging. He gave the final chapter for this world in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and He isn't going to withdraw evil from this world until the end of time as we know it. Man is still created with "free will" and the choice still remains as to who they will serve, God or satan.

Hi there!



There is no redemptive plan for angels, satan doesn't get a second chance nor does the 1/3 of the angels that followed him. Their eternal state is established.

What denomination are you?

Great answers, guys!

I totaly agree with you "Serapha" on every point you mentioned, and believe that God isn't going to withdraw from his original plan. He stated how he is going to change the world when time comes, for it's his eternal plan!

He'll eventually cast Satan in the "lack of fire", for causing torment for his beautiful creation, and be punished for having left a gap between God and his children for centuries.

I don't believe he'll give Satan another chance "Sera'naphsus".
Did he mention this in his words?
I don't think he did, and I would advice you to read on this particular issue.

Another thing, I wish to address.

That satan co-exist, for God to seek out, the true believers in us, who fight against all odds to me with the heavenly father! (Possible another reason, why he hasn't cast him out, yet?)
