Why does God let the devil carry on?

Answer 1

I think all you really need to know is the Devil is an angel. He was created to serve God. God created angels first then God created man in his own image and placed man above angels. Lucifer didnt like this at all. God cast Lucifer out of Heaven and his presence and Lucifer vowed he would prove to God that man was evil.

Now what I find extremely funny about organized religion is they always use the Devil as a motivator. What I mean by this is if I dont do what the Good book says I am going to hell. They also use a line that says if you dont accept Jesus Christ as your savior you are going to hell. Well I have a problem with Jesus Christ. A roman emperor used Jesus Christ to amalgamate Christianity with the Roman Gods. The emperor was Constantine the great. Dont believe me Google Attis... Soon you will see how the two stories mirror each other too much to be mere coincidence. Further reading will get you to understand it was Jesus's older brother andrew who started the christian movement in the first place. There is no historical mention in any of the ancient texts that Jesus Christ ever told anyone that he was the living son of God. Not once did he ever proclaim this. In fact it was three hundred years after his death before this proclamation appeared thanks to Constantine!

Back to the question. It boils down to free choice. You cant allow people free choice and then smash or kill anything that would interfere with this critical freedom. If you eliminate alcohol drugs and every other sin such as porn prostitution etc you are taking away a person choice to choose. You cant have your cake and eat it too.

I dont believe the Devil has much power over any individual until that individual allows the Devil in. Meaning you dont see too many happy heroin junkies or crack whores. God created the Earth and the Heavens. From our Earth we can see over two billion stars with the naked eye. God knows every one of them by name. Too assume to know how God thinks or what God should do would place you on the same level as God. I can barely remember all the peoples names in my own family so I try never to assume what God thinks or what God should do. I simply try to be grateful for the life he has given me and the people who surround me with love. I know each day how blessed i am and I try to express as often as I can the gratitude!
