Paradox of the bible?

If Satan is the father of all lies, and the bible is full of inconstancy and lies, wouldn't that mean god is actually Satan. That would explain why he would try to hide knowledge from Adam and Eve, cause the flood that killed everyone on earth, and cause all the wars.

    It is a strange problem isn't it.

    If god created everything good and evil then yes he is responsible also for Evil hence Satan.

    If god created everything and an outside authority could make things to astray..how then can God be all powerful?

    Of course.. there is this issue about God being a Jealous God. Jealous of what?

    Does that mean that the god of the bible is not "the all powerful god" but instead a local god? I would put my money on that!

    It makes no sense indeed.

    You cannot make your statement. It makes no sense. The Bible says that Satan is the father of lies. If that is true then you are claiming that the Bible is true. If you say that it is a lie, then Satan isn't the father of lies and your argument makes no sense. Is this too complicated for you to follow?

    If you are saying this is what Christians believe, it too is incorrect, because Christians do not believe the Bible is full of lies. They believe that Satan is the father of lies. So that can't be what you mean.

    What in the world are you trying to say? Get your act together.

    That's kinda loopy in that Satan, as father of lies, would want you tom think this way! Seriously, G-d created the World for us to live and love; Satan became jealous of this and tried to sabotage our relationship with G-d. It is inconceivable that G-d=Satan.
