How does God tell a reason from an excuse which is an interpretation from one's own attitude? Somebody wants to say it is their first impression. But I doubt that for sure. The reason is self-consciously made up for the existence of the world, and it is the excuse we use at the other person.

God knows what's in your heart. There is no need for words or thoughts.

God is to be our standard of justice and we are to emulate his ways.

He has condemned Satan to hell yet gave him dominion on earth instead of imposing his sentence. IOW. A reward.

No judge in their right mind would do so in our justice system.

Is God less responsible than our judges?

Is God denying justice by not imposing his sentence?

Why is God not imposing his sentence and instead, is rewarding Satan?

Because Satan is God.

Of the earth it seems.
After all. He is supposed to have the power to deceive us all.

I think Satan is Nietzsche's way; not Schopenhauer's. Things are hidden with other things around us.

Well he is certainly the god of this system of things, but not the True God.

It's true that He can do, but He won't even look unless you invite Him in, or of course His son. However we reveal our true heart condition every day by what we say and do.

Thanks for ignoring the question of justice.

This shows that you think God is unjust and you cannot justify what he is doing.

I haven't ignored the question of Justice, I answered that point in my initial reply. It's not my fault, or His if you are too "stiff necked" to accept it.

I also showed How it is easily and fully justified. You are simply determined to twist everything anyone says, and many others on here know that also.

People want Justice. God does not.
There is no point to it for God. Why would God need justice when God created everything in the Universe, good, bad or indifferent.

Because perfect Justice is one of God's primary qualities. However it is perfect Justice not the summary sort we think of with or short term thinking.

I don't believe in Satan. So in this case there is nothing for God to do against something that does not exist in the first place.
Just my perspective.

Which of course is precisely what Satan wants as many as possible to think.

So God waited till after we had a Heart to explain that virtue was the way of an improved World.

No, He set out to reveal that to us, from the outset, and simply made that more organised after the "fall from grace". That is one of the primary purposes of the bible, to reveal that virtue, and Israel were the example He used.

I can rest assured that there is no Satan.
However, if Satan did exist and he was in fact a god with special powers, how could any mortal overcome his influence? If I know that, then surely God must know that too. So why put such an influence in the world to begin with.
This is the problem with most people who believe the devil made me do it. They use it as an excuse for bad behavior. If there is a Satan, we are it.

On our own, we can't easily do so, but there are millions of people throughout this earth proving that whilst iut may eb hard, it is not impossible, because if you make the effort, God will help, as long as you turn to Him for that help.

A very good question.

Immediately I thought of Isaiah 55:8 ... "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."

I hope that helps.
