Preview: Why does God allow bad things?

Stay tuned for the complete Post "Why does God allow Wickedness? Couldn't He just have destroyed Satan at the beginning?"

Preview:
1. Was Satan created evil? 
- No. Satan was originally an angel of God(Genesis 3:14).He was later on given the name in the Hebrew Text "Ha Satan" which translated means, "The Adversary". This name fit's him perfectly because he was the first to challenge God's arrangement of things and till this day, is still opposing

2. Does Satan Rule Hades?
- No. Hades is strictly for dead people. Satan is still alive. The sinning angels were thrown in tartarus(many bibles incorrectly translate this hell when the bible distinguishes them)Jude 1:6

3. Why doesnt God do anything?
- God will act on the behalf of those offended by badness. Adam and Eve thought it would be Ok to do something God told them not to, trusting the voice of Satan instead. To prove not only to humans, but also his angels why his rule is the best for true life-living, he has allowed humans to under the rule of humans[isn't that great is it]. In the future, this would be an incentive to show why it's best not to trust reasoning that isn't from God.
