still, 6 day workweek...he must work out.

incidently...the reason people pick apart the bible is simple...the faster the bible can be smashed down into silliness, the faster all of the major religions of the world can collapse, and the faster we can live in peace without parts of the world demanding their God is better, stronger, faster than your God and start bombing you to prove their point.

world religion is a institution propped up and fully supported by Satan (chew on that for a bit). and destroys the divinity of personal spirituality with icons, books, earth rituals, physical representations, etc.

the only worthwhile thing to take out of the bible is that Jesus hated preachers and the church..hell, he even got crusified because his hatred for such nonsense was rampant and he got the old robes angry at him.

You know whats funny! its that Satan or whatever name you want to give him wants you to reject "Faith" not religion but "Faith" in God and in Christ... I really like the last bit you pointed out it makes my point: The bible states that the Devil is here to bring us further from a relationship with God... (This is not to be confused with the church, priests or religion) So if I chose to worship this computer I am typing on then who am I worshiping God or my computer? Didnt a man create the computer? so what makes the computer greater than the man? is it not a tool for man to ease his workload? So to get back on track if I worship this computer I am not worshiping God and therefore Satan is winning. Lack of a relationship with God = 1 more soul brought down with him. Jesus did not hate preachers take that MISCONCEPTION out of your beliefs. Jesus was infuriated with the teachings that they were spreading. Christ tells us not to hate the sinner but to hate the sin! Remember that!

Like I said earlier Study the history and the people of that time especially the Jews and you will understand why they crucified him! They were looking for a Political leader to conquer the Romans and bring them into a new era! Just like Moses did for them when they were in Egypt...

Satan means adversary. Anything past the meaning of "Adversary" doesn't exist. If you look in history, you will see that from the fall of the Roman Empire till the age of the Renaissance (around a 1000 years) there was a period of time called the "Dark ages".

During this time the only "Geopolitical" force was the Catholic church as the surrounding Empire had been dismantled. It was during this time that many pagen concepts slipped into christianity such as "horned devils". Before this, the newly forming Christianity was based off of the Jewish concept of "Deity". Also they didn't have a thing called heaven or hell. Again these are concepts that were melded into Christianity over the years and have no place in Christianity, but are pagan concepts.

The whole concept of "Satan" as some fairy that is out to get you is just silly.
Satan can be typified as anyone who is against you or is your "Adversary".

Try replacing satan with adversary. That's what a Jewish person is calling his adversary, so just use the transliteration when you read it which is "Adversary" (read adversary in your mind instead of reading satan). The story will begin to make a lot more sense. As a matter of fact, do that with every word in the bible. Get out your strongs and start translating EVERY word...promise you won't end up with the same story you've been "Given".

You will find a story that actually makes sense and can answer every one of the "contradictions" on the OP.

Try thinking of it like this....Satan is a Title, because that is truly what Satan is. It is not an individual being and in case you didn't know, it doesn't matter if the make believe "Satan" is winning or not. The Satan looses as Mankind (the living god) begins shedding the urges to destroy themselves and live in peace, they overcome that urge to be "adversaries" and in effect destroy the "satan". With a man it is impossible, not so for mankind. With mankind, anything is possible...Mankind = Living God. Not one, not two, but ALL forward and backward is the living God.

Love yourself and love your neighbor as yourself...this is law, the only two we will survive by.

Part of the great "deception" is the "image" that is, the "concept" or being led in the scriptures. Many accept at face value what they are being taught and the interpretations that are given them. Built into this "concept" is the idea that if you try to look for yourself, you are being led by "Satan". Quite the opposite in fact.

Godspeed to you.

Peace
