Default Why did God send Satan to us instead of hell.
Why did God send Satan to us instead of hell.

Some believe that God and Satan disagreed on thing and the Satan was evil and out of control.
Why send him and his third of angels to pester us.
Would God’s job not be easier if He had sent them elsewhere.
They would not have fornicated with humans and the reason for the flood would have been avoided. No giants to drown.

In this way God would not look like a genocidal maniac.
Instead of killing millions including innocent children and babies in a flood, why not just create a new earth for the eight that He thought were worthy and let the old earth just be? It could not look any worse than hell.
Two blemishes on His record is just as telling as two. You would think that a new earth would be better than Him breaking His own laws.

Why pit these supernatural beings against weak humans.

DL

Stop questioning God's methods! He works in mysterious ways; end of.

You're getting caught up in the details. It's kind of like someone who hears Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and gets all worked up because reindeer can't really fly or even talk. That's how a naive, literal view can cause people to miss the point.

Look at the story more as a mythological allegory (full of the same kind of poetic license inherent in most mythology) to explain the existence of evil.

Granted, it's not a great explanation, but it gives people a common set of cultural imagery.

That just means that you are too mentaly lazy to think things through.

If God is keeping secrets it is no wonder some think so many are going to hell.

God sent satan to us to give people an excuse to blame their sins on. Satan however you look at it also provides a scapegoat for people looking to unload their guilt for committing sins.

The only problem with that view is that in Job, Satan is clearly seen as being under God's power. Blaming Satan is then the same as blaming God.
