Why? I've said the same thing to many individuals on this forum and I've prayed for all of them. I'll continue to pray for Squirrelmeister, as I have many times in the past.

I do pray for my enemies, and God's enemies, so that God would make them sons and daughters by faith. I was once an enemy of God and He saved me. I've seen other enemies of God become heirs of the promises of God, too, so I know it happens and will continue to happen until all of Christ's sheep are in the fold.

I don’t think you will find many devil worshipers on this site. In fact I believe most satanists are actually just weird attention-seeking atheists. I could be wrong on that and don’t know much on that subject.

What I can tell you about Satan was that it is a concept borrowed from Persian Zoroastrianism. Ahriman the Opposer is the evil devil spirit and he opposes the good spirit Ahura Mazda. The Christian Devil is a ripoff of Ahriman.

Where does evil come from?

First temple polytheistic Israelites and Judeans thought that evil came from evil spirits and other gods.

Second temple Jews especially towards the 300-200BCE timeframe believed in only YHWH. No other gods exist. Therefore evil as well as good can only come from YHWH. See Isaiah 45:7.

Christians and possibly Jews around the time of Christ began to pick up Ahriman the Opposer as Ahriman Ha Satan. In the Old Testament a satan was an opposer of anything but not evil. See the book of Job. In Job, YHWH and the Satan were betting against each other on Job’s faithfulness to YHWH. The Satan was one of YHWHs heavenly servants, not an evil being. In the New Testament it is clear that Ahriman Ha Satan has become “Satan” as a proper noun/name. Modern Christians believe in a powerful immortal evil spirit Satan who can control aspects of people on earth… that’s a “god”, albeit an evil one. So much for monotheism even when you don’t consider the three separate gods you might call one.

Question for Devil Worshippers about Satan

---

In 99% of cases, "Devil Worshippers" are like Wiccans and Atheists:

People who seek attention, yet have no discernible talents or personality to speak of are able to draw attention to themselves by claiming to be a Devil, Atheist or Witch.

There are exceptions, but the overwhelming majority of these self identified dabblers and doubters are nothing more that shitlords seeking attention.

Yes Lucifer we do

Agree that we are all animals. Are you trying to say that without God of the Bible there can be no morality?

---

Without a God, not necessarily the God of the Bible (although that's what I happen to believe) there can be no objective morality. All we're logically left with is moral relativism and opinions about right and wrong, which are no more meaningful than opinions about your favorite color. Maybe slavery is wrong for you but it wasn't for the sellers in Africa.

You haven’t answered this question, yourself. You put forward speculative theories about where you think everyone borrowed religious beliefs because you don’t want to accept the truth, but you have yet to answer my questions about where evil (morality) comes from.

You are quick to condemn God and anyone who acts against your personal moral code, but you have yet to provide a defense for your own morality, at least to my knowledge.

What standard or law do you use to judge good and evil, and where did that standard or law come from?

You seem to be one of those people that assume any similarities between OT Judaism or Christianity and any other religions must have been borrowed from those other religions. It couldn’t be that those religions shared a common history and that OT Judaism and Christianity have preserved the truth while the other religions have perverted the truth, could it? If the Bible is true, you would expect a certain amount of truth to be preserved even in other religions, like flood stories, for example.

I bet you hold to the theory that Jesus as a religious figure was borrowed from Egyptian mythology.

See I would argue that the writers of Leviticus included that as an excuse for genocide of their neighboring tribes so they wouldn’t feel so terrible about their crimes.

---

When all else fails, blame the scribes! It couldn’t be that God preserved His word. No, it has to be that it was written by men without any divine inspiration at all, so therefore all testimonies to truth had to have been just men covering their tracks to make their lies more believable. The amount of hoops you have to jump through in order to deny your maker is a testament to the depravity of men.

It’s natural not to murder each other, but not natural to know that they shouldn’t be worshipping whatever gods they think up using bronze statues.

---

It’s not natural to do either. Both are against God’s moral law, but like you’ve been doing, men suppress the knowledge of the truth in unrighteousness and exchange the truth about God for a lie, making gods to worship rather the the one, true God. Humanism does this same thing. It just replaces God with men instead of statues of bronze.

A god killing people for breaking laws he hasn’t given them seems like evil. But you will say that is good. We’ll have to disagree.

---

Again, where does your standard from evil come from?

I’ve already explained how God taking the lives of His creation isn’t murder. You’ve yet to explain the law that you adhere to as a standard of morality that can be used to judge God (or anyone else, for that matter).
