What does Satan gain from torturing us..?
91687
Your question should be:  Why does God ALLOW Satan to torture us?  What sick joy does God get from this?  \n\nSome may say I am blaspheming God.  He has not struck me with a lightning bolt yet...so I guess I am safe from His wrath.  \n\nSatan is just God's servant.  In any court of law, God would be more culpable than Satan.\n\nThey say the cleverest thing Satan has done is convince the world he does not exist.  Well, we could also say the trickiest thing God does is convince us Satan DOES exist.\n\nFor more on the "Problem of Evil" see my extensive response to that question too.

That is true...Never thought of it like that...If he is supposed to forgive you for all your sins...then why do people threaten us with hell....Probably because it's all a bunch of bull sh!t.

Does that primitive fairy tale sound right to you?  For example why wouldn't Satan use his powers to make Hell really nice so that people wanted to go to Hell?  He could gain power by being nice.  The whole good and evil nonsense in the Bible is really very silly if you actually analyze it.

Well thanks for your question :) \n\nbecause Satan seduced him to eat from it \nGod clearly says in the Quraan : Then Shaitan (Satan) whispered to him, saying : "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?" \n\nsee Satan here used the word "Eternity"\nto seduce him hope that helped you

might have something to do with fear of eternal torture, burning and suffering.

Wonderful question !!  If you could just pass this all around the world and ask for this.   If every human on Earth would take  your question and aim for this.  It is not too much to ask.     Un-fortunately, there is just the opposite.    satan is on a rampage and it usually effects the poor and angry people.   Yes,  you right on and IF we could do what your wonderful question suggests.

Satan was not the "best" but the most beautiful and he held a posistion that was one of the highest, a "coverer" Angels worshiped God like they do now before humans existed. Satan's source of greed and pride is from himself.

i think satan prefers we dont believe in him. the bible warns us about satan. that he comes to kill, steal, and destroy. that  he is the accuser of the brethern and the father of lies. the bible tells us to beware of his wickedness and schemes and to put on the full armor of God so we can stand in the day of battle. if we do not acknowledge satan then we can not beware of these things or know how to fight against his schemes. satan wants people to have their heads in the sand so to speak. satan is sneaky and a cheater that will do whatever it takes to kill, steal and destroy. but he was help up in public ridicule at the cross of calvary. satan knows his days are numbered. thank you jesus!

Yes we need to study our bible to show ourselves approved before God.\nJesus whipped Satan with bible scriptures. We can also whip Satan with bible scriptures. But beware, Satan knows those scriptures better than any mortal.

Who said He would endlessly torture you?  Someone is perverting what the Bible does say, don't believe them.

Satan does one thing and one thing only--he whispers.  He whispers into the hearts and minds of every individual and tells us to do bad, mischevioius, awful, evil, and ugly things.  He never actually does anything evil, he just suggests it.  It's human beings who do the bad/evil things, per his prompting of course.  Still, we are ultimately responsible for whatever action we take, we allow the devil's whisperings to overcome us and we act upon his evil suggestions, so we're the one's to blame.

Just from my past knowledge, Satan is bound at the end of the tribulation period. We are then evil free for the millennium period (1,000 yrs.) After that he is loosed for a short time. Then he is forever in hell.\nCheck out Revelations.

All I can say is pray, pray for the Lord to bind Satan and his demons and cast them out. Pray that he will protect you mentally, physically and spiritually.

Yes, this is how it feels. I am right now managing a sore throat and a congested nose. Yet, would all these come to heal without God? No, we are all punished for our actions,thoughts,and words. Are not we all evil in a way? We have all somehow harmed a creature... by stepping on it or eating it. God is not punishing us as bad as the bad. The truly evil are the ones with no love for anything. Those are the ones who are suffering. Even though I am not Christian, did Jesus not suffer? He did it for us. Does God not suffer?... seeing our pain and misery. Yet, throguh this darkness a light shines through. God is beautiful as anything. He is helping us. God sees misery in our hearts and shines light through. Think for a moment...How had God helped you?

Satan is being allowed to go free for the moment to give humans the chance to exercise free will. Read about the battle of Armegeddon; it doesn't last very long, and God wins easily.

Satan didn't hijack the universe, he brought up the issue of gods right to rule man.  If God just destroyed satan and humans and then started over again his point wouldn't be proven and no one would learn and that wouldn't be fair.  Instead he allows us to rule ourselves with satans influence to allow us to make our own choice and prove his right to rule.
