WHAT??? You blame heresy in false religions on GOD???
Ahhhh, maybe you should rethink who the father of lies is...
Not at all. But let me see if you can provide me with this? Show me one thing that Satan did that God did not permit or allow.
Also, you might reread the following poignant Scripture.
Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.
Rom 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus?
Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

I ask this in all fairness. How can one believe on one hand that God our Father is all knowing, without beginning and without end, without whom nothing exists. Be clueless and powerless against the actions of a mere human????
I don’t get it.
Who created who?
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Perhaps it is you who needs to do a little rethinking
“Show me one thing that Satan did that God did not permit or allow.”
The fact that God ALLOWS evil a brief reign on earth is DIFFERENT that saying God CREATED it, as you did.
“I don’t get it.”
CLEARLY. Totally, on this matter.
Now, Isaiah 45:7:
“Everything that exists does so because of the creative will of God. God was not claiming that He creates moral “evil” (AV) but both well-being (Heb. shalom) and calamity (Heb. ra’). He causes bad things to happen to people for His own reasons, as well as good things, but He does not cause people to make morally evil decisions.”
