Satan per the book of Job and other encounters between himself and God, satan is a servant. Albeit one in rebellion he yields to God never the less.

Job is just more mythology borrowed from the Ancient Sumerians. 

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ludlul-bel-nemeqi


Quote:Ludlul bel nemeqi, Akkadian: “Let Me Praise the Lord of Wisdom”, in ancient Mesopotamian religious literature, a philosophical composition concerned with a man who, seemingly forsaken by the gods, speculates on the changeability of men and fate. The composition, also called the “Poem of the Righteous Sufferer” or the “Babylonian Job,” has been likened to the biblical Book of Job.


Dating back to at least 1,700 BC it far predates any of your jewish shit.

Actually sport you do know abraham was most likely sumerian right? Who's to say before the jews were the chosen sumeria had that title, but lost it through unfaithfulness? The only reason the Jews never lost that title was because God promised to Abraham to work with His descendants no matter what, because he was such a righteous man. which means all the crap that came before abraham like idk the Flood Job creation, would all have a similar origin.

17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.


Even Apostle Paul couldn't muster faith of a single mustard seed on this occasion.  Who's stronger, God or Satan ??

Paul makes it clear in Romans the dynamic there. In that "we" are not God. We are slaves to sin, and the father of sin. God provides a way to be forgiven for serving sin, if we simply turn from our sin and hate it.

Paul here doesn't require faith of any kind as He is able to see both sides at work. All Paul need do is weigh can he should he push through or yield. You can tell when God wants you to push through and when God wants you to yield.

Got to also remember here Paul is not God, and it is not God who wants Paul to spend more time here, it is Paul. This would be an instance where God simply allows satan to be satan and because Paul wants to stay satan no doubt wanted pau to Go, so he forced his hand and Paul left.
