Sat The Threat Of Humanity

Most people think of Satan as this red monster with horns and fangs, but he comes in the form of sin. Sins are made to be attractive to us by the Devil. Turkish Delight is Edmund’s favorite food, so the White Witch uses it to gain his trust and manipulate him into siding with her. Satan does the same thing with us. He uses things like lust, drugs, and money, things that may look pleasing to certain people, to entice us into a life of sin.

Satan’s character embodies the idea of a heroic figure because he questions what he feels to be true, even though his tragic fall is that he becomes easily misguided.

In the course of this essay I will argue that evil is not compatible with the existence of god. This means that evil and God cannot coexist because if god were present, the existence of evil would contradict all that god is believed to be. Abrahamic religions insist that God both created the world and that he preserves and maintains it. Christianity claims that God is all knowing and is boundless in his abilities. Religions claim that God is benevolent, and only wants the best for humanity and the universe, as his creations. If all of the above statements be true, then it is hard to understand why god would allow evil to thrive right from the beginning of time.

The devil at the dawn of Christianity bore little resemblance to the ruler of hell, the antichrist and agent of evil that he is known as in present day. Satan makes few overt or implied appearances in the Old Testament. For the important role of God’s greatest adversary, early Christians had to flesh out great parts of Satan’s story in order to develop him into his present, fearsome persona. The Christian story of the Devil is heavily influenced by earlier Greek mythology, and early Christian writings about the Devil co-opted local mythology in order to gain new converts and discredit popular pagan beliefs.

Christianity teaches us that crime is also caused by evil in men's hearts (Oord, 2012). The fall of man due to original sin ultimately brought about corruption in the heart of man, which manifested itself externally with violence, murder, theft, and all manner of criminal behavior. The Biblical account found at Genesis, Chapter 4 details the first crime committed on earth in which Cain murdered his brother Abel. At that time God himself brought judgment on Cain for his behavior. Over time, God made the following assessment about mankind. "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually"¦Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence" (Genesis 6:5, 11). As a result, shortly after the time of Noah, God established civil government in the earth as a means of restraining evil doers and protecting law-abiding citizens (Holy Bible, Genesis 9:6; Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-14).

Evil, chaos, and mass destruction are words that surface the mind when Satan is mentioned. An expression of pure evil, Satan is often looked at as one to steer afar from. Yet, there is a time and place of everything and even the character of Satan serves a purpose. For there is no good without its opposing force evil.

My opponent argues that evil is the fault of man citing the fable of Adam and Eve. This heavily misses the mark for several reasons. Let’s pretend for a moment that the story is true. The supposed sin that was

Viewing Evil God allows evil and suffering to happen in our world. Why? Humans have free will and choices to do either. God is considered omnipotent and omniscient. It is not logical to allow evil in the world.

Just like sometime we let our children experience things that can cause pain when we know it will bring about a greater good, God could also have good reasons to allow evil acts”. We were created free, but we abuse that freedom by doing everything that’s possible including wrong. the bad things that we do causes suffering in the world. The suffering is the consequences of the wrong we did. God allow suffering and evil in the world as a price for all the wrong we did. I would that’s we evil that’s happening in the world is our own doing. And God allows them because we have to face the consequences of our choices. However, not all evil can be explained with that approach. for example, natural disasters we don’t do nothing to cause them and we can’t do nothing to prevent

 Evil doesn 't necessarily have to be an action by a human; it can also be a result of a natural disaster such as: hurricanes, earthquakes, illness, etc. A hurricane can take away everything from thousands of humans. This causes the people to have no home, clothes, or food. This is also a form of evil, due to the suffering it causes. This is called natural evil. People can bring about moral evil upon themselves, although, they rarely can bring natural evil upon themselves. There is a distinct difference between the two, and one evil does not cause the other. The reason I point the

First, to prove that Satan must be something more than a mere “favored” angel, some kind of divine being, let us consider Adam’s longing for a companion (as I think the concept here holds basis): he reasons with God as to why it is appropriate for him to have an equality alongside, and of course, God, “not displeased,” grants Adam’s request, that is to become, Eve. Now imagine God in the shoes of Adam, that is

In Genesis we see the question arise of how can God be all good and omnipotent yet allow such evils in to exist in the world that he has created. The Old Testament, in raising this question, also tries to answer it. From an early act of disobedience by Adam and Eve to Cain killing Abel we can that evil in the world is preordained as a result of human disobedience to God. In the first books there is little to no reference to good showing hatred or neglect towards humans and yet still they disobey him. Therefor a disappointed God can do nothing to prevent evil because it comes through human wickedness rather than any acts of God.

Its impossible to reflect on the origins of evil without bringing up the concept of free will. God created man with this idea of choice; the choice to believe and obey, or the choice to disobey. It was this free will that allowed Adam and Eve to fall from their initial glory and introduce evil and suffering into the world. We can justify a large amount of sustained suffering by acknowledging that it actually benefits us and is not incompatible with God's loving nature. We learn lessons both physically and spiritually that allows us to grow and mature according to God. Some suffering is used to spark revival or for a great advancement in his kingdom, cause after all we're

The Devil or Lucifer is arguably one of the most famous figures in existence. He is considered the Prince of Darkness and is supposed to be the embodiment of evil. However, our perception of the Devil has changed drastically over the centuries. “Satan” can mean something very different depending on the person. Some see the Devil as their god or a hero and others seem him as a symbol of all that is wicked. Some may view the Devil as nothing, but a joke and others believe he is as real as the rest of us. The concept of “the Devil” continues to evolve.

Following the standards of classic tragic heroes, Satan is a determined leader with an extreme amount of hubris. He knows that God is the most powerful being and yet he still
