Doesn't the story of Satan revolting against God prove that Satan doesn't exist?

Why would Satan revolt against an all-knowing, omnipotent creator knowing that he couldn't possibly win in the end? Isn't that stupid?

    Problem is he did not know. He is not all knowing. He is a created being like you and me. A perfect example of this; When he tried killing all the Babies under two years old. He did not succeed in killing Jesus. Herod/Satan's emissary. In Egypt Moses almost fell to this Satanic Mission, by the Egyptians who found the Hebrew people were outnumbering them, so all the males (newborn)were targeted. Finally in Jesus Death on the Cross. Satan thought (since he was not privy to information from God) that Jesus had died and could not rise from the dead. He did not Know Salvation Plan of God. Then He used Paul for killing Christians. God turned Paul around. Satan losses are so great. All the books cannot contain his Defeated Loser Condition, fighting a losing battle, especially with that Jesus Episode of His Final Defeat to be bound in Hell forever. He has a bad track record of being the biggest Loser the Planet has ever witnessed. Know Jesus Know Peace No Jesus No Peace

  • He thought he was better than God so he got kicked out of heaven. Silly him! So Satan was once an angel. Satan DOES exist though. Check verses:

    Isaiah 14:12

    Job 1:6, 12; 2:1,7

    Isaiah 14:12-14 and Ezekiel 28:12-18

    Luke 10:18

    1 Timothy 3:6

    Revelation 12

    The story of Satan revolting against God is man-made and does not come from the Scriptures. What they do say is that Satan is the god (source) of evil and all evil actions.

    This shows a basic flaw in the common interpretation of the terms applied to God. God knows all possible outcomes - not the exact outcome. And can plan accordingly, satan believed he had figured out a strategy to 'beat' God and we are here to see this through and have faith that God will win.

    you will never persuade people who have been brainwashed from birth how absurd their stories are, even protestantism is a nonsense if you believe the catholic church was the true church it is not up to humans to decide if has taken the right course by their standards, in the same way the muslims have ignored the laws regarding fasting during ramadan as ( according to them) laid down by the word of god , they have decided that as in northern and southern hemispheres as you approach the poles there are times when the sun doesn't set they have set their own rules it's as if they don't think god knew about summer winter and the tilt of the earth

    Satan is delighted that humanity is blind and arrogant in it's refusal to believe he's real.

    He exists and his influence is everywhere around you adultery, lying, bullying in schools, war, lust,power, selfishness, vanity, worshiping false Gods, cheating and corruption, no respect for the church or leadership, ungratefulness this world is so dark and sinful it's like a cloud of sin around it.

    Greed Greed Greed he likes it when people do that and encourages every bit of it because the more you do this the more you distance yourself from God and make yourself unfit for eternal life.

    Why do some people think they, are better than others, or have something that is better than any one else.

    Why do some people think they can do a better job than their boss?

    Why do some men think that a bigger penis is better?

    PRIDE. A false belief that what YOU think or have or do is better than anyone else.

    The bible never says that Satan was SMART, only that he was good locking , the

    best looking of all the angels".

    it is PRIDE that makes him act this way -- same as most humans.

    God is not Omni potent. Jesus never taught us that God is omnipotent.

    Where did you read the Satan revolted against God? Do you have any evidence?

    Satan is real and is very active.
