Hi, I don't believe that the devil can hurt the Creator or that the devil can steal anything from the Creator. God has all power and owns all things. God bless.

That doesn't even make sense. I can convince you that I'm real because I can show myself. I can't convince that I don't exist. Why? Because the proof that I exist is right before you. You mean to tell me that a nonexistent being can convince somebody of something? Sounds like mental illness to me. If you can be persuaded by something you don't believe in, that says a lot about your mental state. By the way, if logic and reason are tools of Satan, then I guess you're right.

Everyone controls their own life, period. Everybody must be responsible for their own actions. Saying "the devil did it" is complete BS.

p.s. did you see the movie Misery?
all Katherine wanted was company, she was bound (spiritually and emotionally)

I think Stephen King, who wrote that book/movie, would be laughing hysterically if he read this post

I think the reality of this statement really scares a lot of people, and that's why so many cling to a religion or a belief in a supreme being. It's the idea that we really are on our own out here. We create our own realities - there isn't some omnipotent being pulling our strings and making things happen. We are doing it ourselves. It's so much more comfortable for a lot of people to stay childlike, and pretend to be helpless about things. That way they never have to take responsibility for anything. It is god's will. It is the devil's work. It is never me.

How can Satan steal anything from God? What is Gods is Gods which is eveything - Jesus came redeem that which was/is lost.

If you set up a business and that business was broken into and things stolen would you think it is justice that the thieves retained the goods that they had stolen? If you sent a person to retrieve the goods that were stolen would you accept that most were not returned to you? Would you think that person had done a good job if they knew exactly who had taken the goods, where they were, and had paid the price to get them back - then did not reclaim those goods?

Satan is the father of lies. If we don't know the truth that is in God's word we can be deceived. We must know the truth and the trust sets us free. Satan is the accuser. When he attacts people, including Christ, we need to use God's word, the truth, against his lies.
Hebrews 2:14 "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death~that is, the devil. And free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Also if someone owns a business and knows that someone will enter it and take some of his goods, has the power and ability to prevent this, but allows this anyway for a purpose, is this really stealing? If the devil steals without God's intention, this means that something is lacking in God's power. How can it be, if He has all power? Ultimately all things belong to God, even satan/the devil. God bless.
