God Or Satan Who truly Owns The World? Help I'm Confused. by KiNg0G: 12:08pm On Aug 28, 2022
in the beginning God created the heavens and earth and everything there in.. which means he is the owner.. the creator..... but how come when lucifer tempted jesus christ... he showed him all the good things of life...if only he would bow to him.. then it will all be his. (as another owner)

Does it mean satan owns the world?
did God sold the world to him after creation?
was there any sort of bargain when he casted him from heaven?
is there two owners of this world?

God created the world as recorded in the bible.... but during the temptations of jesus christ we saw another portrayed owner.

and mind you to be "TEMPTED" means it truly belongs to him.
if it was a lie the bible would have used "DECEIT"
so I think devil owns this world

The devil did not own this world, from what we know, the devil was once the second in command to God in heaven until he rebelled against God and they fought, he was defeated together with his rebellious Angeles and they were forced out of heaven

Did you watch the clash of titans

Zeus became the king of the heavens,

Poseidon, the king of the seas

Hades was left to rule the underworld in darkness and in misery.

You've asked a brilliant question. Our world is part of a large scheme we cannot begin to comprehend. There are hundreds of millions of planets within the habitable zone of any life supporting star in our galaxy alone that have a chance for life (as we know it). If you truly believe in God, the supreme creator of this universe and other unknown universes, then you must believe that there are an infinite amount of suns with life (as we may or may not know it) giving worlds in their habitable zones. Entire worlds can be controlled like an ant colony, worlds can be completely crude with life but without intelligent life. Our world is unique because we are intelligent. Our uniqueness in such a vast space of creation cannot be limited to us alone, there must be quadrillions of intelligent life in this multiversal scale.

The devil is an invention of man. Be warned. This world and the quadrillions of intelligent life supporting planets in the multiverse are subject to the creator of all. Man invented the devil to blame for his freewill as an intelligent species. A goat knows no devil but we attribute the devil with it, same as repitles, pigs (for some), etc because we're intelligent. The devil is schemed as a reason for the perceived negative thoughts and actions as a result of man's free will.

This world is owned by God the creator of all. Even in the Christian religion, the devil is always portrayed as a deceiver. He didn't own the planet Earth in the temptation of Jesus. He simply lied to deceive in that instance.

It is important for you to know that there are many religions on this planet without a devil regardless of the fact that a devil as an antagonist is present in the religions with the most followership.

Also when we get visitors from a civilization far away and more intelligent than us in the evolutionary scale, we will look at them as either godly or a product of demonry.

tempted was the world used in the bible.

I don't think he was lieing to Jesus Christ.

if it was all a lie just to get jesus to bow... then "Tempted" shouldn't have been used.

for example..
I have thousands of naira in my wallet...I left it out open in the table to see if a friend Will steal from it..
that's me tempting him
yes have the money..so it's not a lie.

so I think lucifer owns the world for him to "tempt" jesus christ.

God1000:

Get your facts straight before swaying one in need of knowledge from its track.

Satan was never in 2nd command of any power whatsoever in heaven. He was a chief musician that carried praises from hoards of angelic hosts to God, and also was the only angel that hovered over the blazing power (light) of God with his wings.

Satan was kicked out because the sought the position of God which led to an all-out war in heaven with the likes of Micheal, his fellow archangel who fought against him with other opposing hosts of angels and thus was kicked of out heaven with his minions ie. Former host of angels.

Satan being the prince of this world at the disposition of God is merely a power tussle, a divine plan to separate the sheep from the goats. Don't be mistaken, God allowed Satan to tempt Christ during his fasting for a purpose and that translated to how Christians ought to fight through emulation of Christ's actions.

Satan is but a mere pawn God uses to weed out the bad grass and prune his own (vineyard) for His 2nd coming. He's on a leash, for example, in the story of Job, Satan can be seen obediently following other angels administering their tasks to God when God made a bet with him about Job but ordered him not to end his life.

Lastly, there's a part in the bible about how every nation will behold Satan and thus, the question rented the air asking, is this the man that brought many nations to his knees and at his disposal, how low he is at that moment meaning power was stripped off him.

All in all. Satan is God's Satan i.e God's dog on a leash

I will update books and verses to back up my claims.

Anyways, Go read the parable of the Weeds and Tares in Matthew 13 and then come back and tell me again who you think owns the field which is the world.undecided

As I said earlier. Satan is able to twist truths in order to claim advantage. That is what he did with all 3 temptations he served Jesus Christ hence the reason why Jesus Christ used the Word to counter each time. undecided

Answer God owns the world.

But Satan has on his side the greater numbers of allegiance and affiliates of peoples therefore by the numbers aka democracy, he holds coaxing and coercing power.

So God owns the House but Satan owns the tenants.

Gen. 1 Verses 26 to 31
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Before creating man God sought Satan and others opinions. Why the access to the Garden of Eden if he was not that important?

Revelation 12:7-17
King James Version
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him

First and foremost...

"The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods." - Psalm 24:1-2

Apparently at the fall in the garden of Eden, mankind fell through mankind's first parents... who disobeyed GOD, and obeyed the deceiver / serpent (Romans 6:16), who was given a temporary sort of authority over this present world which is fading away... (1 John 2:15-17)

"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." -2 Corinthians 4:4

Despite all of this, GOD has already passed judgment on the deceiver - "Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." - John 16:11

"And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming" - 2 Thessalonians 2:8

++++++++

Praise GOD that in the course of time and history that HE mercifully saves many through Himself in the Person of the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST... who will all dwell with HIM in the new Heavens and the new Earth at the end of this age!

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind" - Isaiah 65:17

"For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain." - Isaiah 66:22 (2 Peter 3:13)

The Creator owns everything but regarding the planet (earth) He assigned man as the one and only creature in His image to SUBDUE it {Genesis 1:26-28 compare to Psalms 115:16} but man choose to sell his soul to the devil by rebelling against his Creator {Genesis 3:1-6} Satan knew very well that after Adam expire no one can rule over the children of the rebel, even Adam himself could see the troubles that will follow his rebellion because in his own eyes his first son killed the second {Genesis 4:8} so Satan waited patiently until Adam died {Genesis 5:5} then he began taking action by inviting more angels who also joined him to rebel against God {Genesis 6:1 compare to Jude 1:6} as the leader of all these mighty spirit beings Satan was able to control the whole earth as humans were seeking the help of demons to rule over their fellowman. That's how Satan was given all the kingdoms of the world! Luke 4:6

God called Abraham He (God) wanted to start planning for His own government which will end Satan's control {Daniel 2:44} a child will be born from the lineage of Abraham and this child will end Satan's control that's has lasted for thousands of years! Isaiah 9:6-7

So by the time Satan was introducing all the kingdoms of the earth under his control he was actually trying to distract this promised Christ from focusing on his earthly mission, Satan knew that if Jesus could succeed in his earthly mission then his (Satan's) days are numbered! Genesis 3:15 compare to Revelations 12:7; Daniel 12:1-3

So Satan rules the world presently {John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19} but soon his rule be over! Matthew 6:10

May you have PEACE! smiley

God owns this world but he passed authority of this world to Adam and Adam through his disobedience passed it to Satan.
However, Jesus Christ who is the last Adam has overcome and will in the future collect the authority of this world from Satan.

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.


Jesus will take back the kingdom and handover it back to God the father at the end.

1 Corinthians 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
