Devil is not totally bad, just acting out?

Question

In my religion that believes God is the multiverse, (and therefore everything in it as well)

The devil is only acting out. God created the devil and angels and told them that that they were a part of him, like if the whole puzzle told the peices that they were a part of it.

The devil didn't want to accept this, and became something like a rebellious teenager, going around trying to prove he is not a part of God. However whenever he does evil, it brings people together with love and family, proving god right. This makes the devil even more angry.

We see this and pray for the devil to come to his senses, and return home to god as a prodigal son.

(WOW< I just got that story> maybe the prodigal son IS about the devil and god, in a way) i.e in the way that we are all god's children, even atheists, hindus, buddhists, agnostics, etc. etc. etc.

so what do you think of this realization?

Answer 1

You know what I want the answer to? Why don&#039;t religious people thank God for their misfortune. They thank him for their rewards but never for their hardship. It&#039;s funny how that works. The latter always gets blamed on the devil. How convenient...

Answer 2

Sounds more like confusion than a realization. I will pray that God brings more understanding in your life. You see Satan just acting out as murders, rape, thievery? Yeah He sure is acting out. But praying for him isn&#039;t going to change a thing. He is the ultimate evil. And all he wants is your destruction and for you to get further away from a loving God.

Answer 3

If this is your own belief, more power to you. It all depends on your view.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well, right off the bat, you&#039;re initial premise is wrong, and therefore your conclusion is, likewise, wrong.

God is not part of the very universe He created.  God is totally separate from any universe you can find.

God is perfectly holy and good; and evil is the rejection of God.

Satan, having once been in the very presence of God, since he rejected God, it was a total rejection of God, and therefore was a total rejection of all that is good, and he is therefore the personification of evil.

The devil and angels, like the universe, were never PART of God, but part of God&#039;s created universe.

What Satan rejected was God&#039;s Authority and the right to rule, and out of a stupid and foolish attitude of pride and arrogance, decided to try to usurp God&#039;s throne.

Satan is NOT going to &quot;come to his senses&quot; because what he did in the first place was totally insane, and there is no sanity left in him.  In fact, ANY body who rejects God is insane.

I think your &quot;realization&quot; came from too many drugs, rather than any actual rational thinking.  If you want TRUE &quot;enlightenment&quot; and &quot;realization&quot;, then read the Bible and believe it!

Jesus said &quot;IF you continue in my Word (i.e. believe and obey it), THEN are you my disciples indeed, and THEN you shall know Truth, and Truth shall set you free.&quot;  Furthermore, Jesus also said &quot;*I* am Truth.&quot;

So, if you want to be set free from the burden of lies, then read God&#039;s holy Word (the Bible), believe it, and act on it by turning to Jesus in true faith and repentance.

Answer 6

I didn&#039;t read all of your writing but NO he was a lair from the start, lying is not acting out. you&#039;re thinking is in error
