Any thoughts on one of Satan's Biblical names being "the accuser?"

  2. Makes him sound like someone who puts people to the test. Almost like a servant of God.

    OK. I can see that, but would he test fairly if he is dedicated to evil:D?

    The word "test" is akin to the word "trial," and we in America often hear about a "fair trial":D. Should the tester be someone who will test or try fairly lolol? Is there such a thing as an unfair trial?...
     
  4. Could it not be...that Satan and God made a pact to make the entire world believe he was evil as some sort of test itself?

    I mean, isn't it just as evil of God to make these deals with the devil? I guess there's just no way to know. I prefer Satan as a servant. It seems like...the devil would have to be pretty smart; you'd think he'd realize that there's no rebelling against God.
     
  5. Well...I think you can point out the truth without judging. You can say something is evil without hating a person or God for doing it.

    To say something is evil is to judge it to be so. The truth has nothing to do with evil. The devil means slanderer.
     
  7. It's to determine it to be so...though personally I don't believe in evil. It's not to say that there's anything bad about God, though I can understand that "evil" pretty much implies that -- which thing I personally would never imply. God can do whatever God wants as far as I'm concerned. I am not a follower of Jesus or Paul, btw.

    I think to judge would be to condemn and forsake, not just point something out.
