At the risk of starting a theological debate, I reject the idea of Satan as an independent adversary of G-d. I believe that that’s inimical to monotheism. I view Satan as a provocateur/prosecutor/jailor in the employ of G-d for the purpose of keeping free choice going. Hitler was part of the Divine Plan, and the torture and mass slaughter that he unleashed on the world was the greatest benefit and kindness that G-d could possibly bestow on the victims, whose souls are eternal and indestructible, and had been on earth before. This does, of course, sound bizarre on its face. But let’s leave it at that. I would greatly prefer a more revealed form of Divine Kindness, especially where my nephew and godson is concerned, and all the other babes with new toys.
Thanks for your response. We’re rather wide apart on this issue, but I’m not here to debate an issue like this with you. I will mention what my take on things are, but that’s more or less informational.
You’ve got a reason for the things you believe. That’s fine with me.
Take care.
