Satan is not a God. He is a servant of the one living God. He is completely powerless unless God gives Him the authority to act.(per the book of Job)

Again the bible shows us satan is a servany of God per the book of Job. I think your think of greek mythology where the lord of the under world is an equal or of the same class as the other gods. This isn't the case here.

I was pissed. Good thing I'm not a clumsy God, his fuck-ups are way worse.What "fuck-ups" are you talking about?
Quote:Nah, he left. Remember? Better to reign in Hell than serve in heaven-type-thing? God seems be a hard sell even for those that COULD see him.Where does it say satan Reigns in Hell? According to scripture Hell is a punishment for all who are sent there. Even Legion (The mess of demons that possed a man in Mark 5 pleaded with Christ not to send them there, rather to send them into a heard of pigs. (which is what Christ did.) If they reigned there then why did they not want to go there? Because in truth they reign here, through the sins we hold close to our hearts.
Quote:Sounds like spin to me. Kinda like when an employee quits his job, and then the boss tells everyone he was fired to save face. (If he's not a God, why'd you capitalize "Him"? Losing track of which dieties get which customary courtesies eh? Don't worry...me too.)Because he is still greater (for now) than man. As are the rest of the Angels.
Quote:All of them! They just interpret what is written differently. You couldn't find 2 pews worth of people in the same church to describe God the same way.Is that a requirement? Where in the bible does it say we must all understand God a certain way? In truth the bible simply tells us to put fourth out best effort and to be faithful to what we have been given. Not that we must reach a certain bar of understanding.
