(October 26, 2014 at 8:23 pm)Christian Wrote: God graciously allows the Angels to fight the battles with the Devil and his demons. God is omniscient and already knows who will be successful in every battle. If God himself were to oppose Satan it would not be a battle since God is omnipotent.

Why does there need to be a battle? God just wants battles? Your answer basically seems to be "God gets what he wants", which is basically tautologically true for an omnipotent being.

That being said, why does God want more people to go to hell than to heaven? That is what's happening, looking at world-wide religious demographics, and God gets what he wants. What gives?
