Can the forum's christians see the demons in other people?

[John V]

That god doesn't give people the benefit of the doubt.

There is no doubt with omniscience.

Only if you assume that god wasn't okay with letting Satan lead mankind away from him. Nothing is 'necessary' to an omnipotent being. Why did he create Eve from Adam's rib? For metaphorical reasons?

Seems likely.

Should I start quoting Revelation about just what god 'lets' Satan do?

If you thought it would do any good you would have started by now.

Eventually as in infinite time?Some theists here have supposed that Adam and Eve were in the garden for millenia before the fall. It seems like they had no desire at all to eat the fruit until Satan both removed the threat of death, and added the benefit of knowledge. (Although god inflicted mortality upon them afterwards, but Satan is not imniscent, and he had tricky wordy that could be interpreted in other ways).

Some theists can suppose whatever they want. We can't tell from the Bible, and you can't know what they would have done in the absence of Satan.
