Can Satan create independently, regardless of the will of Yahweh ?

Create what?

Mayhem, havoc, chaos?

Yes.

The opening verses of the Gospel of John say that "by Him (God) all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made." In other words, if it exists, God made it. (This is why the KISS song "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" is not as disrespectful as it sounds. Rock and Roll exists. Therefore God made it.)

And, I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that the reason Satan perverts sex is that procreation gives us a share in God's creative power, which Satan doesn't have. Can you imagine how it would be if Satan could reproduce? Anyway, the theory says that Satan resents us because we can do something he can't, and he perverts it.

satan create independently yahweh

God did not give Satan the power to create or destroy, but He did give Satan the power of influence over mankind. God uses Satan for His greater purpose, as He gave us the gift of freewill to either choose His way, which leads to eternal life in the Kingdom of God, or the way of Satan, which leads to eternal death.

Well, if you read the following passages, it clearly says Satan and the Lord are one and the same.

"AND Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel." (I Chronicles 21:1)

"AND again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah." (II Samuel 24:1)

This is reinforced by this other passage. Remeber Lucifer means "morning star" or "light-bearer".

"I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." (Revelation 22:16)

So if the Lord can create, so can Satan. Only the name is different.

That explains why God wants so many "burnt sacrifices" and why the smell of burning flesh is a sweet savour to Him.

Satan can create sin against God by enticing mankind to commit a sin.Yahweh is not the name of God but God.

Satan is not a creator, but a created one. To the credit of Satan's creation, if any, goes mischief.

Almost everyone here said Satan can not create anything. But I bet if you polled everyone most people are waiting for the anti-christ to come, who is supposed to be the begotten son of Satan.

PS, I love the "born-agains" or Witnesses or any of the others who have to always end their answers with "Jesus saves!" or "Jesus Christ is the way!" when it has nothing to do with the question.

Satan does not have the power to create.

No, there can not be two Creators. Whatever we see have come from that single unified source. But then what is Satan - doesn't it typify our own imperfections - our failings that lead us astray and that we conveniently lay at the door of Satan?

The devil is powerful, but not as powerful as God and He knows it. HE cannot give life, and He cannot take it. The devil may want to take a life, but unless God allows that person to die, it wont happen. God allows things for differnt reasons, that we do not always understand, but we know He knows what is best. So noone has died without His permission. The devil also cannot read our minds, only God can. But , the devil is very familiar with us and how we think act live and react, and he can tell what we are thinking often not only by facial expressions and our tone, as he knows us well. He will send familiar spirits to us to speak lies to us and to try and tear us down, but He cant read our minds. This is one reason we have Holy Spirit prayer language. ITs a language between us and God that only God can underswtand. Devil cant hear it, its out of his realm. amen.

But ifyou are saying things the devil also hears them. LIke if you say I am such a loser, then the devil knows what you are thinking and will run with that to use your insecurity to tear you down any way he can. But, if the devil hears us say We are saints, here to overcome sin by the power of Jesus Christ, that we are victorious christians that know our incredible love from the Father and the value HE places in us, remember the devil heard that too. So be careful of the words you confess, as the devil is watching it all. He can plant a thought in your mind, absolutely, but he cannot read your thoughts, he knows by how we act and react to thinks and the confessions of our mouth. The tongue is a powerful force. God tells all about this in the Bible. ITs all good. I always tell everyone dont hear me, get your own Bible, study it , know it, an dpray and ask God to reveal truths to you, and soon you will know.

Never rely on soeone elses teachigns, as many are in absolute error.

Seek God and you will find Him and all you need will be given to you to ive a joyous full life of peace. oh yes.

There is no other way.

God alone determines who is born and who dies, and God alone knows our every thought. The devil has power , but compared to God, he is NOTHING. Thats why we dont fear Him, IF we obey the Lord, He will take care of us and no weapon formed against us will prosper. The devil could attack all he wanted, and get NOWHERE, when we are in Jesus Christ. No other way to go folks, and Jesus is the only way of salvation too.

We are to fear BE IN AWE OF, God alone, knowing He knows best and if we follow Him, we wont go wrong. ITs when we try to do things our way that we fail, why? Cuz that devil is always pumping new bullonie in and soon we are doing it his way and thinking its our own. Its a choice, you can follow God or the devil. There is no inbetween no other way folks. IF we dont choose for Jesus, the devil is automatcially the only other option, whether we know it or not. But the Bible tells all about it....................Its up to each of to KNOW.
