The bolding is my emphasis. So satan(and his peeps I guess) has destructive intentions towards humankind. God caused a flood that wiped out everyone on earth aside from a few people(according to the bible), and is generally busy smiting people left and right throughout the bible.
With so much competition for destructive intentions towards humankind it sure is hard to keep track...
You make a good point. As I've read parts of the Bible that do not make sense at all. The Old Testament supposedly didn't bring life, it brought death, and couldn't provide eternal life, etc. Yet the New Testament provides eternal life, and Jesus is almost the exact opposite of the dark cloud that was supposedly God atop Mt. Sinai... who ordered moses to kill people, etc...
So how can a thing called God order the killing of others, and even repent of sins, while Jesus Christ, the Son of God has never sinned, nor likes or orders the killing of others? How is the Son of God far better than God?
I have come to the conclusion that satan had often disguised himself as God, and even today disguises himself as God, and "angels of light."
A dark cloud with a voice that shoots fire from the bottom of it reminds me of a UFO with a mist around it, shooting exhaust from the bottom with a loudspeaker attached to the UFO. Considering this "thing" also ordered Moses to kill people and "it" repented of sins. I truly wonder if it was really GOD our Father.......... or an evil force called satan masquerading as God.
