Why Doesn't God Stop Satan?

Why don't you stop worshipping him? Who is YHWH / Yahweh?

You can't have free will without evil.

This doesn’t really satisfy the question. Truth is God refrains from stopping Satan immediately to vindicate His righteous rule beyond dispute, while His ultimate action will permanently remove all suffering caused by rebellion. • Satan challenged God’s sovereignty. he falsely claimed that humans would be better off ruling themselves without divine direction (Genesis 3:1-5). And this raised a fundamental question: Is God, a just and loving Ruler, or is independence from Him better?? • God permitted a limited time to settle the issue. Immediate destruction of Satan would not have resolved the challenge in the minds of intelligent creation. Allowing time demonstrates conclusively that rule independent of God leads to suffering, injustice, and death (John 14:30; 1 John 5:19). • The present world condition proves Satan’s way fails. Under his temporary influence as “the ruler of this world,” humanity experiences widespread hatred, violence, and misery, confirming that rebellion against Jehovah brings ruin rather than freedom. • God’s response is purposeful and temporary. He will soon eliminate Satan and his works through Jesus Christ (1 John 3:8). Meanwhile, His patience allows time for individuals to choose loyalty to Him (2 Peter 3:9).

“Why Doesn't God Stop Satan?” Because the fictional Satan character is the excuse for the state of the world that proves the fictional God of the Bible character either totally impotent and not merciful…..or, in reality, non-existent.

Why Doesn't God Stop Satan? From His perspective outside of time “Alpha and Omega” already has stopped Satan. We live in the slow motion replay of it happening. We do have an entire millennial age where there’ll be no devil and humans on earth. We have a part three of our trilogy and it’s still coming as we are at the end of part two in this series .

The “reality” of Christianity depends on the end of the story. Always has. It can only be speculated about and claimed. It can't be proven. That is why it all needs to take place in the future and/or after you die.

A good answer...

When people wonder if God loves them I remind them of what God sacrificed for us all. His only Son Jesus took to the cross and on His back were all our sins. God sent Jesus to pay the price for us because of His love for us. He loves you so much!

Because neither of them exist.

He will/ He has God isn’t operating on the same clock humans are so in fact God has. It’s Same as the lamb slain before the foundation of the world

Except satan and the fallen angels haven’t been kicked out of heaven yet. Scripture tells us he is always busy accusing Christian’s before God. He isn’t omnipresent like God, meaning he can only be one place at a time. Also, the war that happens to kick him out of heaven happens in revelation 12, and after that we’re told heaven rejoices because he no longer has access but they also say woe to the inhabitants of the earth because satan, now confined to the earth, will make tribulation like never before for time, times, and half a time (that’s 3-1/2 years modern language, or 42 months, or 1260 days - aka the great tribulation).

You could've just said "I don't know."

Depends on who is God and Who is Satan. The Father? Yahweh? 'the devil'? I don't see The Father and Yahweh as being one and the same ... their character traits and words are polar opposites.

Shouldnt the question be; why did God make satan? Why did God create evil? God knew that by making satan he would cause the fall of man and still did it and he didnt take responsibility for it. Instead he blamed the victims.

If God is omnipresent, then Satan is just another part of God. Justice and Grace are nice ideas, but we don’t get the same deal as Adam and Eve bc they actually got to see God, be curious and then disobey. But we are conveniently required to listen to his messengers, who openly tell us they are sinners. It’s game. Jesus didn’t tell me the choice, you did. And I don’t see you living in poverty over this. Sorry, I’m from crazy Joseph Smith’s Garden of Eden somewhere in Missouri. And I know he’s a nut, but your rational is a catch 22. Convenient. I work for my money. You are a raconteur of fairy tales

The same reason why Zeus hasn't stopped the Fairy of the Forest.

What an utter bullshit answer. We are all evil? By which metric? By the sadistic god of the Bible, perhaps? it’s because he is gaslighting you into guilt. If I had divine powers I would make world a much better place. But god does not, reason is probably he doesn’t exist

Frank unpacks the difficult things in the OT with ease. Now, that's a soldier for Christ.

Thank You Lord for writing our names in the book of life 📖❤️‍🔥

Zionists like yourself serve Satan directly

Satan has a job to do.

Same old argument. Same old bullshit response.

Let’s speak the truth. There is no god. There is no satan. There are natural occurrences we view as disasters. Volcanoes & hurricanes occur naturally. But they have a role in life on earth. Real evil comes from humans.

@midgetsyard 🧐✊️"YESHUA ADONAI"

God will restrain His wrath waiting for the conversion of the single, last redeemable soul before He judges the world. This is why Satan works so hard to sow corruption, to delay the judgement. God will wait for that one lost soul to be rescued to eternal life, then the end.

Evil is the absence of God. We have the power to stop Satan in our lives.

lol. Can you loosen the belt of Orion? Were you there before the creation of the world? Did you establish the earth and its morals? Who are you to question the almighty God?

Because God does not exist to stop someone that also doesn't exist

No one knows the answer to this question but God Himself, people always try to diminish Gods power and infinite ability to have done things differently. The robot line is just a shock value response, we as humans compared to God our creator are indeed robots. Programmed…

Yes of course we would be God allows evil so we have a choice to make Gods example for us all is Adam and Eve they were faced with making a choice and it was Trust and obey God or fall to the temptation Now you know why 🎚@Franklin_Graham

God doesn’t respect free will numerous times in the bible. Just google for examples, don’t ask me for examples

God is just like every petty deity that has been created throughout history

More like why did he create Satan? Seems a bit counterproductive eh? 🤡

If this makes sense to you, you need a brain transplant 😂
