This is a thread subject that is really very interesting to me, and I think it should be a great discussion, so lets avoid super long copy/pasting, and lets keep it a christian viewpoint,(if other denominations would like to discuss the same thing on their forum, thats great, but this is a christian board).

The question this thread poses is;
WHY IS THE DEVIL PERMITTED TO RULE THE WORLD?
Lots of answers. Lots of speculation. Lots of head banging going on about this.... Lots of religious vomitus....
but NOBODY seems to bother to look at the Bible for the answer. NOBODY seems to really want to know why.
Because nobody really wants to know why.........really.
A lot of religious slogans being quoted..... A lot of buzz words being repeated..... no truth, though..
Very interesting.
Genesis 3
For those who won't bother to actually READ THE BOOK, the answer is that
WE allow satan to do it.
Every hour
Every day
Every time
Read Genesis 3
A choice was offered to Adam and Eve and they gave THEIR authority to the opposer......to the tempter....to that which is called devil and evil.
When created Adam & Eve had the autonomous authority to choose the Will of God or to deny it -
they denied it.
When presented with an alternate choice - to choose the will of the tempter -
they embraced it.
We
DO and we
HONOR that to which we grant our authority.
To
evil.....NOT God.
THAT is why the devil rules the world ....
BECAUSE WE WANT IT TO.
Let us therefore affix guilt where it belongs,
upon the shoulders of every man and woman
born in the image of ADAM - not God.
According to the Bible, none of us today are born in the image of God. We are all of us born in the image of our parents.......in the image of Adam who fell into sin. We all choose to reject the Will of God. Every one of us.
And none of us want God to rule the world........not really.
That is why NOBODY bothers to read Genesis 3 to learn the truth. We prefer our own clever lies.
And so we blame God for a situation WE HAVE CREATED and which WE PROMOTE in the hope it will always CONTINUE.
Denial is the ultimate fools game.
Play on.....
that's me, hollering from the choir loft....
