I believe that God could take Satan out anytime he chose and stop all this madness
when satan sin in heaven first why did God allow him in the garden of eden and not prevent him from going there

Why has God allow the devil to continue ? any thoughts
 
Probably the same reason why God allows men in their wickedness to continue?

Sorry doesn't really answer your question tho lol

To test one's faith.
 
How can you have redemption of a soul without an enemy to redeem it from?

God uses even the enemy, because God is in control. Just as God will use Satan, soon, to deceive the entire world who are expecting an any-moment return of Jesus . They rather choose that then listen to what Christ said in His Bible.

That's their choice. I would then ask how are you doing ?

I could tell you but you need to understand what Satan is first. Not what mainstream teaches but the simple honest grounded truth.

All you need to know about Satan is that he's a liar and the father of them... there you have it

It's more than that. This tells me nothing about who or what Satan is. Is he some spirit being called Lucifer? No. Then what is Satan? His purpose in God's plan?

It does tell you who Satan is.

He is the darkest and cruelest being in existence. He hates you with a burning desire to see the very worst happen to you. He laughs in the face of God as each and every person who rejects God is cast down. He takes pleasure in our pain, joy in our suffering, and smiles as we cry out for mercy.

And why does he do this? Because He wants to prove God wrong. That's it. Simple. He hates God.

Tell me, what more would you wish to know of this wretched creature? Because there is no reason to know more of him, especially after you have come to know Love Itself. Let him sit in the dark and scheme. Trust God, and serve God. For the Devil is beyond understanding, beyond knowing. You don't make nice with the mind behind serial killers, you don't befriend the creature that invented rape, you don't study the maker of sorcery. You reject him, fight against his plans, and trust God.

Because as wretched as Satan is, God is better, greater, and far more than the Devil will ever be. God gives all of His intelligent creations a will, and the right to exercise that will. Until the final judgment, Satan has his chance to prove God wrong, the same chance that those on this earth have. You see, until the end, evil is allowed its day, because God is just. Justice means to let people say their peace, that includes evil people.

Satan is not God's servant, wreaking havoc at the will of God. Satan is a rebel, who was once loved and exalted. Satan is allowed to path to hell he has created.

The bible tells you none of these things. Please tell me. If most of the world is homeless and starving who's the blame, mankind or Satan? I say again only when we get a proper understanding of who that enemy is, can we defeat him.

The Bible tells us all of these things. He is the Father of lies, a murderer from the beginning. We are told that he rages and roars seeking the ruin of souls. That he wished to kill Christ at his birth. ALL OF THAT IS FROM THE BIBLE.

Mankind knelt to Satan and allowed him dominion over this world. Scripture calls him the "prince of this world".
 
That's what you call freedom. God gave us a freedom to choose what we want to do, what we choose to follow and who we choose to worship. And I'm agree to Cassin comment "to test one's faith" that's why there's a bible too where God can speak to us and we can act according what we want to believe. :)

I understand this but all I see is mankind. So again I ask what is the devil?
