So God and the Devil have some kind of deal?

If you sin you will go to hell? I don't think God is cruel being to do such a thing. And if the Devil loves to see you sin, wouldn't he reward you instead? This is where i think religion is flawed.So God and the Devil have some kind of deal?
If you reject the free gift of salvation, you go to hell with the devil. Neither of you will enjoy that experience. The devil has no power to reward. He can only destroy. God loved you enough to demonstrate that love by coming to earth as a human and dying on the cross for your sins. All you have to do is accept that free gift.



But, you want to make it about something else. It would appear that it is YOUR religion that is flawed.
What goes up must come down. Basically, this universe works to certain laws of physics and if you believe a supreme being made those laws then you'd expect everything in his universe to have to comply. But what about spiritual or moralistic laws? Say for example, you said 'never lie' then you broke that command yourself. What you've done is fallen to the side of the wrongness, food of the devil. In other words, once the game rules are set, the game must follows the rules.

If God were to go against his own operating principals, god too would be equal to the devil.

Those rules are there, they are what they are, but god provided a way out. It's up to those who believe in god and the devil if they want to take that way out.So God and the Devil have some kind of deal?
Childish thinking. The devil loves to see you sin because it will lead you into his realm for eternity. Satan wanted to replace God, but all he can settle for is to rule over his collection of lost souls in torment.

God is not cruel, God is Just. Thankfully He is also Merciful. It is easy to get to Heaven.
God isn't cruel at all, it's your choice not His, In the same way as you choose not to step in front of a passing car. You don't go to hell because you sin, you go there because you choose not to believe in Jesus Christ. It's all laid out in the bible if you were to read it. When he comes again everyone get raised physically back to life and you either go to heaven or hell, People mistakenly think that once you are dead that is it but the bible says you will stand physically in front of God for judgement. At that point God will destroy death itself so no one can die, then you either go to heaven or hell.......read it yourself.So God and the Devil have some kind of deal?
Except the devil does not control the conditions of hell which won't be to anyone's liking, not even the devils. Everyone is born into sin. We are sinful by nature. Sin separates us from God. But through Jesus Christ, we are reconnected to God %26amp; are given eternal salvation/life with Him. There is no deal with the devil.
Think of this way okay...nether one wants be alone for eternity God wants a loyal team in His house. Satan doesn't want go down in flames alone...God does not send people to hell for sin.we all do that! It is just accepting that you sin and know that Jesus took YOUR punishment
to the poster saying Satan is all about pain etc... I don't believe Satan is all about pain and misery. You believe that because it's what you were taught to believe. I was taught that too, but have since changed my mind :)
You're intelligence is flawed.
why would satan reward you.He is all about pain, misery, addiction, etc.
Satan is God's devious sock puppet.
They are both myths used to control the masses.
That is like no religion I have ever heard of.
What if they are one and the same?

*cue dramatic music*

dum dum dum!
Boy you got it all wrong. Read the Bible or go to church. Learn the truth, don't just jump to conclusions
This is because this is your own thinking, and you have no concept of who the living God is and His will for you from that of Satan.

First we are all sinner's. We all sin and come short of the glory of the living God. But there are those sinner's who have chosen to be saved sinner's saved by the grace of the living God, and they have chosen to believe in, trust in, and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Then there are those lost sinner's who rebel against the will of the living God. His will is that ALL should come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ His Son, and that none should perish. But, some refuses His offer.

Don't you know that Satan is the great deceiver and the father of all lies, and that He only shows to you the good side of sin, and not the final result. What kind of reward can he offer to anyone when he has nothing to offer. He owns nothing. When he fell from heaven he lost everything, along with one third of the angel's. His only reward is going to be for his own good and that is the thrill he is going to get when he see all those who followed him and rejected Jesus Christ following him off into eternal damnation.

The Bible is full of choices from the beginning to the end, and it is full of rewards for those who choose to do the will of God. God rewards good, and not evil, or bad. God owns the cattle on a thousand hill's, and all the gold and silver are His, so His reward's will be great.

Rev. 3:5 - Jesus said, "He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. What is it we must overcome? The enemy. Satan and all those he works through. We must overcome the world, and all that is in that is evil and goes against the living God.

Religion is a big flaw, but the way of Jesus Christ is no a religion and if you read in John and the other Gospel's you will see what Jesus thought of the religious leader's the Scribes and Pharisee's. He called them snakes and viper's for they taught the people that they needed to do this and that before they could enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus told the people, "Follow Me", for I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no one can come to Father except through Me."

Jesus is not a religion, and He is in no way flawed, and this is just one of those lies that Satan has gotten many, many people to believe, and it has caused confusion for many years. The living God said, "I am not a God of confusion, but of love and peace." One when they come to Jesus Christ then they have a personal relationship with Him, and they walk, and talk together, and His Spirit leads and guides them, and teaches them the ways of the Lord. This is a day by day thing, and a day by day learning experience, for Christian's fall short, and we sometimes follow our own will, and mess up, but His Spirit is there to pick us up for when we fall we must look up to Him and He looks down and picks us up, brushes us off, and forgives us, and continues to walks with us. He does not ask us to do something we cannot do, and all that He ask us to do He will walk with us through it if we allow Him. Salvation is not a hard thing full of mankind's rules of do this and do that before you can be forgiven, and go to heaven. We confess our sin's to Jesus, not to mankind, we pray to the Lord and no other, we come just as we are and no other way.

Jesus said, "COME to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you REST. TAKE My yoke upon you and LEARN from Me, for I am gentle (meek) and lowly in heart, and you will find REST for your souls. For My yoke is EASY and my burden is LIGHT." (Matthew 11:28-30). Jesus does not weigh us down with legalism full of mankind rules, and some churches are full man-kinds rules and laws and things one must do to be saved, and to get forgiveness of their sin's. Jesus is the only One who can forgive sin, and Jesus is the only way to heaven, and we are either saved while on earth or not all. We are told, "We live and die once and then the judgment." But the choice of where we spend eternity is our own choice and no others, not even God's or Satan. We make this choice with our own will that the Lord gave to us as a gift, for He wants us to come to Him out of love not because He made us to be as a puppet. He gave the same will to Satan and all the angel's some chose wisely some did not, the same as people will do.
