I greet you all, in Christ’s name.
I do not expect grown men and women to ask such questions, because it shows spiritual immaturity among you. These are the types of questions I expect 4-year-olds in Sunday school to ask. I also think these are ignorant questions to ask because your laziness is keeping you from reading the bible to find out for yourselves, but then again I have no otherwise than to explain it to you so that you are to remain inexcusable in the day of judgment.
[CENTER]WHY DOESN’T GOD KILL SATAN?
[/CENTER]
The reason God doesn’t kill Satan is that angels were created to exist eternally (…nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. (Luke 20:36, NKJV) ) and also, killing Satan won’t do anything because sin is already present in the world and all of mankind is affected by it. If you think for a moment that killing Satan will stop the corruption and decadence that is happening in the world, you are sadly mistaken because men’s hearts are desperately wicked as we are told in Jeremiah 17:9. A man-eat-man society is what it is, and what it has been since time immemorial. Yes, there are good people in this world but if you compare our goodness to that which God demands (which is moral excellence), there is absolutely no comparison, and are like filthy rags. To get to Heaven, God expects moral excellence which we are unable to attain by ourselves because of our fallen nature, and that is where Jesus Christ comes in. You so badly want the devil to die, but I tell you the truth, worse will be done to Him, He will wish He was dead.
[CENTER]WHY DID GOD DO ALL THAT TO JESUS, AND WAS IT NECESSARY?[/CENTER]
God did “all that” to His Son because someone had to take the punishment of sin in our place and yes, it was very necessary so that we would not all go to hell. All through God’s word, He teaches us this: He must punish sin. He is a man of His word, and if He says He is going to do something, you can bet your life He is going to do it no matter how impossible it looks or no matter how uncomprehensive it is to us. So then in His mercy, He decided to give us a chance, a chance for mankind to fellowship with Him just like He intended it to be when He created the first man in the garden. And this chance He gave us involved a serious sacrifice of Him taking man’s form and getting tortured and dying a painful death just to show us how much He loves us, the depths He would go to save us.
People like to suppress the inevitable thought of an afterlife after death, especially for those on the wrong side of God, but the reality is that the punishment that awaits them after death is not comprehensible by the human brain if, of course, you fail to put your trust in the Son of God. You need to understand that you all need a savior, including me because we are all wretched, naked, and filthy before God’s eyes.
The great lengths Jesus Christ took to save His creation knowing very well that many would still reject His sacrifice really strikes me of how much of a gentleman He is. To God be the glory, Amen.
god and satan are one and the same, it’s called duality.
