Why does the devil hate humans?

[Khaz]

Hi guys. I have really been pondering about this question for long, but couldn't find any satisfactory answer. Does any of you guys know the answer to this question?

Thanks in advance

Life and living things are God's creation.

Believers in God tend to have compassion and respect for nature and things God made.

While those who hate God take pleasure in twisting, torturing and destroying God's creation.

When I see people unnecessarily spraying poison all over their yards.

They probably hate God as well as nature and living things God created.

When I see people leave a ton of litter and trash on a park or beach, I think they have no respect for what God created.

The same precedents apply to people. We are God's creation. The devil and his accomplices want to hurt us, to try to hurt God.

Because he hates God and humanity is made in the image of God.

I was going to say the same thing Jayne said. I suspect pride and jealousy played a part. It seems out of love the Lord desired a spiritual & human family. He created Adam in His likeness and image, not Lucifer or the heavenly host. I suppose that did not go over very well with Lucifer. That is only a guess...

Misery loves company.

Hi Jane, God made everything  good didn’t he?

Im trying to figure out where evil came from if God made everything in his image.

i know the angel wanted to be like God, so where did his puffed up state come from?

I hope you don’t mind me asking, I just thought you’d be the right person to ask? 🙏

God did make everything good.  Mountains, planets, kitty cats, gorillas, waterfalls, and EVERYthing else.

But, human beings are the only creation that is "in his image".  Everything else was "good".

So where did evil come from?

From the devil, who was created as Lucifer, the beautiful cherub angel, covered in jewels.

• He became obsessed with his own beauty, claimed he would rise above God, and became the epitome of pride and anti-God.
• He has five "I  will" statements in Ezekiel 28.
  • "I will ascend to heaven."
  • "I will raise my throne above the stars of God"
  •  "I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north."
  •  "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds."
  •  "I will make myself like the Most High."

And there it is.  Evil.  He convinced one-third of the angels to be on "his side" and they became demons.  He brought evil to Adam and Eve who brought it to humanity.

3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels?

I would think that this would greatly offend Satan.  If for no other reason it could easily cause hate.

Satan hates humans because it is his extension of the hatred he has for God. God created humans and Satan hates everything regarding God. Should we hate Satan? Yes.

Judge also means to rule or govern. We will have authority over the holy angels. We are created in God's image and redeemed by Christ. The angels are not created in God's image an not redeemed by God. The holy angels have no sin to be judged. 1 Corinthians means that we will take part in the judgement of the fallen angels.

plus Satan is already defeated. \O/ Christ has defeated Satan, death has no longer the sting it had before Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, is my understanding and for our part we need to accept that we are sinners and cant save ourselves, no body but Christ can save us and that gets Satan wild, i would imagine. so Satan blinds people to the truth, that truth being that  we all have a heritage in Christ Jesus, the hidden treasure in the field, but we need to find that treasure, aka a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and believe WHAT Jesus Christ did for us.
