when god killed most of humanity in the flood because they were becoming 'evil' why didnt he kill satan and his demons at the same time? were they not the main influence on man committing evil acts?

The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Originally posted by jaywilli understand it, but its a rather stupid way of doing things. god seems to make one poor decision after another.when god created satan he must have know what the fate of satan was, so he knew that one day this creature would be punished and tortured forever, how could god look into the eyes of satan (before he turned evil) and know that he had given life to something that was destined to suffer with no chance of redemption. seems cruel.

Listen, God will not put down the rebel creature unilaterally by Himself as the Creator. The Creator sets up a triangular situation so that only be the obedience and cooperation and love of ANOTHER creature, will He in a coordinated way destroy Sat ...[text shortened]... his and focused all his hatred towards humanity.
Do you understand some of this ?

in our advanced civilizations we are constantly looking at how and why people do horrific acts and we look at how we can 'fix' people. why does god with all his power never try to help cure satan, why is god happy okay with satan suffering forever.
