Why is God allowing those who work for Satan to assault and attack traditional morality and the family in society?

Question

With the destruction of marriage and child-rearing, and family in general, I can't see how it will get better in the future. Why is God allowing Satan and the people doing his work to be victorious in this battle and allowing it to keep accelerating to worse and worse? If God's goal included the maintenance and eternal order of the family then Satan has already won that victory unless God snaps back those institutions to a wholesome state with a literal snap of his finger.

Oh, for pity's sake... Look, HERE:   is the Bible, published for free, all seventy three books. Do you know how many times Satan shows up? Three. Feel free to read through and count. You'll find the  title  "satan" is used fourteen times, but only the three incidents refer to the specific being; the others are all very human authorities and organizations (you'll also find quite a few humans referred to as the Messiah, some multiple centuries before Jesus' time, since the Jews were a little vague on how these things were supposed to work). Those three times are: -Pushing Joshua to test his mettle. -Pummeling Job to test his faith. -Pressing at Jesus' weak points to see if He'll crack under His hunger, His fatigue, and His lust for power. In what way are ANY of these the acts of an evil entity? Temptation brings self-awareness, because it wouldn't be tempting if it didn't speak to hidden desires. Without self-awareness, there can be no honest self-assessment, and without that knowledge, there can be no enlightenment- and thus, no progress. Satan is a loyal servant of God, with a vital, if sometimes unpleasant, job. He is not Ahriman. He is not Iblis. He is not Melek T'aus. He is not Lucifer. He is not Baphomet. He is not, in any way, evil or opposed to God.

Because, those who say they follow him are whited sepulchers, self riotous, first to throw the stone, who take His name in vain.

God taught, acceptance, love and forgiveness. Yet here we have a bunch of people who want to dictate their morality on others. Tell people that "they are wrong," while ignoring the beam in their own eyes. Deciding which old testament laws should be ignored while trying to dictate others to the masses. And lastly to go against Gods word and try and tell people life begins in the womb! (Biblically life begins with the childs first independent breath outside of the mother). Yes God says that the soul predates life, but life is breath by many biblical passages. Further in Mosaic law an abortion (causing a woman to lose a baby) is only a fine! In other words even in old testament law abortion is not a big deal! Yet here are many, so called, good Christians, who are trying to start a holy war using deceit and lies. Is there any wonder why God has turned his back on Anerica?

A bad marriage can cause great misery, is Lucifer wrong to tell people they can end it? Traditional Christian marriage limits the role of women, Lucifer teaches them that they can be more than housewives. The bible proscribes death for homosexuals, Lucifer teaches that we are free to love whom we want. God wants faith worship and obedience. Lucifer, wants us to think for ourselves, not to obey God but to be God.

Christians have brought death by fire and sword to those who disagree. They did and do these things in God's name, so I ask you, why would he allow that if he did not agree with it?

I won't tell you who to follow, just to choose with an open mind.

oh... that's a no brainer. It's the knowledge of good and evil and without them, you'd be so bored out of your skull you wouldn't know what to do. One persons good is another's evil, it's mind numbing. People have free will.

God is love. But there is other energies out there motivating and driving humans... malice, envy, greed, ... you know the list. It was never resolved and purified, and it grows like wildfire.

I think in essence... God is "sifting" out the souls and energy for the keepers the way you might interview candidates for only a few critical positions.

That said, it is awful to see children sucked into the mayhem because of corrupt adults. they don't know better and are easily damaged, hurt.

hasn't this been going on since day 1... or 2 after the fig leaf?

Because God has said nothing human or human made can last forever -it's not it's purpose.

Not even societies and civilisations are immune to collapse. It's not simply the work of "satan," but part of the natural process of things. A tree no matter how big or strong will eventually fall to make way for the next generation.

well it all comes down to this: is god all powerfull/omnipotent? if yes, then do things exist that god doesn't want to exist? "no" would logically follow right? so then that would mean that god wants satan and evil to exist.

God works in mysterious ways and Satan is just helping him purge the world of people who don't deserve to go to heaven anyways

LiamJHayden · Answer

I think it is more about corrupt, fallen man being permitted to have his own way for the time being, so that God's attributes of justice  and  mercy can be displayed.
