Satan lives under the control of God's limitations. As the great liar and deceiver, his primary freedoms are to lie, deceive and accuse. He does not have the freedom to 'force' people to do anything against their free will. Instead, he fills-in the "spaces" where people refuse to love, trust and obey God. IOW, Satan does not force people to do evil, wicked, horrendous things - but, given enough lies and deception, that's where Godlessness leads.
By the same token, God does not force people to love, trust and obey Him. God could have created robots or more angels, but that would contradict His purpose for creating mankind for fellowship.
The point of having both righteousness and evil available in the world is so that people can see and must choose grace over justice, good over bad and freedom over bondage. These choices comprise free will. Earth was created for man, since evil cannot exist in God's presence. This is how it has worked, even from the beginning in the Garden of Eden; but Satan is a defeated enemy and even he knows his time is short.
True that Satan/Devil lives under the control of Elohim's/God's limitations. Is the Force of an Evil Tyrant, Satanic Force/Power? Do you agree that the Roman Catholic Inquisition is Satanic Power/Force?

I've shown you already in the New Testament that the Devil is the one that deceived Adam and Eve.
The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed, told you that too!
So if you don't believe the New Testament is of God, as the Jews believe, then there will be many, many unexplained things in the Old Testament!
And you will never bring it in to understanding!
There is nothing in the Torah that hasn’t been explained...Your New Testament doesn’t reveal anything, fact is, it muddles things...Out of all the pages of the Tanakh there would have been an at least allusion, if not directly stated, to what you state, but there just isn’t...I know Christianity extremely well, there is nothing that you can tell me that I do not already know, even Calvinism and it’s doctrine of Predestination has been studied and well learned by me, even Hyper-Calvinism...

You are correct, Richard. Charlie is NOT open to correction. But he would be well advised to listen to you.

Richard, you can become the Master of doctrines, know all things that the Scholars call on you for wisdom,
but if you don't know Jesus Christ and have a relationship with Him, you will be ignorant to the meaning of the Old Testament!
Because you are a Jew you consider that you know it all, I have news for you, they are the ones who crucified our Lord and still believe they know all things, but are blind to it all!
Plausible Deniability. "Who, me? The earthquake wasn't MY fault!"
