Is Satan the good guy?

by blackout in

if i were to believe in the bible (which i am starting to totally disbelieve), i like the idea that satan was actually on mans side, and when you look at what he told eve he was actually telling the truth, it was god who lied.

this used to cross my mind as a witness but i would very swiftly dismiss it as demons affecting my thinking.

didn't he say we could rule ourselves if given a fair chance?

That is beside the point. I didn't give odds on Judgment day vs No Judgement day. The odds were based on God vs Satan on Judgment day. Many people on this thread seem to be backing Satan IF there is a Judgment day.

Starscream, This just brings us back to the god of the bible being an arbitrary Jerk, because if we can't fairly choose god or satan and god is going to have a judgement day, where he destroys everyone who believes satan is the good guy, then he is being unfair. But as we see fom the bible, fairness doesn't rate with him anyway.

Hang on! I know one bad thing Satan allegedly did.

He asked god about Job being faithfull to god and then God said, go ahead test him out, do your durndest and so satan did a lot of nasty things to Job.

But god said he could and also dont forget, this WAS written in gods propaganda book.

Verses learnt by heart

by JH in

.

going out in the field service, we always talked about the same topics, so we only had to know a few verses by heart.

what would you say were the most important verses to know by heart in order to defend our beliefs?

blackout

The only one I can think of is:

That men may know, that you who's name is Jehovah, you alone are the most high over all the earth. Is that psalms 83:18???

OH yeah also "AND this good news of the kingdom will be preached throughout all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations AND THEN THE END WILL COME" AAAAAH.

Scared myself for a minute there.

well, stefan raab is a famous german singer and comedian, maybe comparable to tom green.

he usually harasses big events and let the people there look a little stupid.

he even it made to represent germany at the european song contest with a song that made no sense at all.

This used to cross my mind as a witness but I would very swiftly dismiss it as demons affecting my thinking. But think about it, Isn't Satan on mans side? Didn't he say we could rule ourselves if given a FAIR chance? IS GOD giving us a fair chance, with all this control and influence of the governments (as told by the JW's). How do we know that god is the good one and satan evil? We cant prove which of them are doing the bad things and which are doing good.

What do you think?

Does God define "right and wrong" or is there an intrinsic 'good' ?

by Simon in

i don't personally believe in a 'god' but i wonder for those who do .... is there an intrinsic "right and wrong" or moral code that would exist whether or not there was a god?.

to put it another way, is what we believe is "right or wrong" based on whatever god decides is right or wrong (ie.

he set's the standard) or is it an intrinisc thing that he also must adhere to in order to be thought of as 'good'.. if god has to adhere and go along with some intrinsic value system then does this effect any claims to be omnipotent and always good?
