Genesis 1:27. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
That’s why Satan hates us. Even his followers he will throw away when their usefulness is done.
Add to this the truth that God, who created everything, including the pure spirit nature of even the fallen angels, became MAN. THEN, that same God DIED so that Man might occupy a higher place in heaven than Satan or any of the angels.
In Satan's view, that's utterly contemptible.
(I recall in Malachy Martin's Hostage to the Devil his account of an exorcism where the fallen angel, speaking through the possessed, in its disgust for its human foes, calls them "shit canisters." That provides a pretty good idea what we look like to Satan.)
Satan,or HaSatan,actually works for God. It says so in Job. He can’t do anything without God’s permission.
HaSatan means ‘the adversary’. There is no reason to fear him because God is in control.
PRIDE or self-love.
No, Satan loves me. He loves me so much he will offer to give me whatever I think I want. He will work to fulfill my darkest desires and lusts. He wants me to become part of his dark domain and to lure others into it and AWAY from the eternal life salvation the Jesus offers my soul.
Satan’s is an evil love and I reject it for the true love of Jesus and His Father. Remembering, God, our Father breathed life into us, Satan did NOT.
Satan hates anything that glorifies or represents God.
The Family is one of those things.
And anyone that helps to disrupt or destroy the Family as God intended it is working for Satan.
Hear that lefties? Abortion, homosexuality, promiscuity, divorce.
Any of those things ring a bell, lefties?
I believe that the reason Satan hates man is directly related to the same reason he and a third of the angelic host rebelled against God.
So I think the better question to ask is “Why did Satan rebel against God, AND... HOW did he convince a third of the angels to join him???
The bible says that iniquity was found in him... clearly, pride was the core issue... but we don’t really hear much about the details of that pride, or the objectives of his rebellion.
Consider for a moment the fact that angels were NOT created in the image of God... and yet they are far more powerful than man. I think that God revealed His plans to create man, and detailed out to the angelic host what THEIR role would be in serving mankind... guarding mankind... and that eventually, their position or status in heaven would be in a way LESS than that of man. (primarily because man is made in God’s image)
Therefore, I think that the reason Satan hates man is not just pride, but more specifically JEALOUSY... and this is how he was able to convince a third of the angels to join him.
The clearest indicator of Satan’s handiwork is pride and vanity. When men proclaim that they are powerful and rule the world, or parts of it far greater than themselves, like the atmosphere, that is a reflection of Satan.
When Nimrod ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel, an edifice so tall that it would reach unto heaven, so that Nimrod could be “like God”, it was pride and vanity talking.
So, is Al Gore Satan? probably not, but he seeks to be infused with pride and vanity, so he has clearly bowed down to Satan.
Who made Satan? God.
God made a creature that hates us. Is jealous of us. And will fight Him, a futile effort, for control over us.
So, JHVH is having a galactic sized belly laugh over our struggle...
That’s always bothered me.
Ping!
Because we took his job away from him.
My theory is that he hates mankind now because of all of the leftists we keep sending him. Imagine the amount of times he has to explain why they’re in hell over and over to them.
Bayonne, NJ, same town where Rep. Barney Frank grew up and the home town of a future saint.
Satan hates us because he’s not worshiped and adored? God destroyed the entire world save Noah, and a few people and animals for the very same reason.
