does this make ALL of us worse that Satan ??????
When replying to a thread started by Black Man I said something like .......
" After Armageddon is over we will all be dead, but Satan will still be kicking, and then let loose again after Christ's 1000 year reign, So Satan already has his Get Out Of Armageddon Card, he's already thru." Sounds fair, don't you think ??????????
this was exactly what I said .....................
And remember after Armageddon and all of us have been destroyed, Satan will still be kicking, because he will be saved, and then let loose again to try again (after the 1000 year reign of Christ, then let loose again for a short time). So all of us get killed at Armageddon, and he already has his pass to get thru. That sounds fair, don't you think ???????
Satan gets to live though Armageddon cause he's good looking.
I love in Revelation, where at the end of the 1000 years the perfected ones are tested by Satan and some fall again and become satans followers. The Bible says the "Number of these is as the sand of the seashore and they come up and surround the city of the saints".This scripture looks as though the vast majority fall under satans spell , of course, the Org disagress and says these ones "as the sand of the seashore" are a small band, not a majority. I can understans the Org saying this, It would look illogical saying that mankind was perfected over 1000 years and,when tested again, and having known the experience of resurrection, age reversal, and having seen all those bleached bones of the armaggedon dead....well they STILL choose Satans side! Very illogical like I say. Lol.
I have often wondered about the relationship between God, Jesus and Satan. I wonder if God just doesnt want to destory Satan......maybe he is going to let him live on forever, nothing makes sense . Sure I know what the bible says , but I dont trust that anymore.
Why would God let Satan do what he started doing back in the days of Job. He is still doing it, it has been plenty of time for God to prove his is all powerful. Does God still love Satan as a son and therefore lets him get away with murder? Why does he keep giving him all the power he does, when he/God hold all power , all life in his hand? He could stop it in a second, why doesnt he?
I am thinking that satan is released a second time to test the integrity of the people who died before they were offered the oportunity of eternal life in paradise . The prebiblical people . very strange part of the bible but does challenge the belief that when people die they are judged whether to go to hell or heaven .It does make clear that even after the resurection there will be yet another test .
Are we that bad? Yes, some of YOU, really are THAT bad.

Satan's survival of Armageddon is consistent with God's overall policy.
Remember the flood? Angels came down to earth and caused all sorts of problems. So, God decided to clean things up. He killed all of the people who were alive on earth, even though they were really only secondary to the story. He also killed a whole bunch of animals, who didn't know what the hell was going on. Meanwhile, the demons who started it all dematerialized, and went back to heaven, where they lived for the next 4,283 years, when they were then cast down to the earth.
It looks to me like God has a long record of handling matters stupidly.
You have to be smoking the same stuff John was when he wrote Revelation to understand it. :)
Doesn't it strike you that this entire God vs Satan thing is overblown by about fifteen orders of magnitude? It seems to me that God, being God, could have resolved this entire thing in about .2 milliseconds and we could all have gotten on with our business without all the bullshit that's been separating us from god, from each other, and us from ourselves for the last ten thousand years at least.
I just don't get the need for this movie to be this god-damn long, you know what I mean? And no intermissions either. I don't know about you guys, but I need a bleedin' rest from all this cosmic shit.
