We all know the story, Satan tempted Job to try and get him to curse God, and Satan tempted Jesus to get him to follow him,
So was the sin of Satan in both Job 1 and Mathew Satan playing God, and that Satan has become a deranged spirit. Would anyone see that in many doctrines that cause debate here Satan sometimes has some people playing God.
Would anyone consider the thought that with satan being defeated in Job 1 and in Mathew, in the sense that Job did not curse God and Jesus did not go against his father either, that perhaps it was Satan who was being shown the error of his ways and being revealed as the tempter, and how we can overcome him,. It just accured to me that many people who believe Satan had been given authority to test Job and Jesus, and that was what it was all about may have overlooked this consideration that the only authority that was given to Satan was to be led up by the spirit to reveal him and show him the error of his ways,
Perhaps this is also the reason why I can't see that God permits evil to test christians
