Are humans God's revenge on Satan?

    Notorious Madman: From what I understood of the speakers message God has a genuine love for us and wants our salvation (same basic deal as most every religion teaches).

    They just had this different slant on why we were created in God's image. Basically satan said " I want to be like God" and tried to rebel against his assigned role as an angel . God created humans in his own image partly to show Satan who the power belonged to and to remind him of his mistake, Human beings are created in God's image and are all born with a chance at everlasting life, this is something satan knows he can never have.

    I hope I answered your question. If not, then I'm not sure I can. The idea I posted was not my own but that of a speaker named Jeremy Dalton
    I heard him only once and do not have any way to ask him questions that come up as a result of this premise, that's why I am asking for your help in reasoning through this, thanks for your input.

    just in reply to that...
    Satan had a high position In the Garden of Eden ..
    God couldn't have created humans to annoy or take revenge on Satan because humans were created BEFORE Satan first sinned . Satan became Satan when he lied .. he saw Adam and Eve praising God and wanted some of that praise himself so he tempted Eve and rebelled.
    Thats when he became the Devil , when the first human pair were already created.

    Its like a thief ...
    A thief isn't born a thief , he/she becomes one when she steals.

    notoriousmadman,
    You made some statements that need proof:

    Satan had a high position In the Garden of Eden ..

    How do you know this? Where in the Bible is this stated?

    ... Satan because humans were created BEFORE Satan first sinned .
    How do you know this? Where in the Bible does it tell us this?

    Satan became Satan when he lied .. he saw Adam and Eve praising God and wanted some of that praise himself so he tempted Eve and rebelled.
    How do you know this? Where in the Bible does it tell us this?

    Thats when he became the Devil , when the first human pair were already created.
    Again, How do you know this? Where in the Bible does it tell us this?

    If someone lived a trillion X longer than you, and had a billion X more reasoning ability would he come to the same conclusions as you?
