Is Devil Holy?because He Saw God by Nobody: 8:27am On Sep 15, 2013
job chapter 1 v 6 to 11
Now there was a day when the sons of God
came to present themselves before the LORD,
and Satan came also among them.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest
thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth, and from
walking up and down in it.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou
considered my servant Job, that there is none
like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright
man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?


Followe peace with all men, and holinesse,
without which no man shall see the Lord:
- King James Version (1611) - .hebrews 12v 14

this two passage is confusing.does it mean that devil is holy?cause he met with God face to face and they even discussed about job.

The devil is not a man but a falling angel(spirit)

The devil and other angels are spirit beings and God is also a Spirit being, it is there4 easy for them to see God even to accuse us b4 God.
Revelation 12:10 KJV
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

When a man/ woman is dead and is allowed to see God, that means the man or woman has been justified as a holy person.
But d reason for d devil to see God is to condemn,to report & to accuse us b4 God and not for salvation.

No man can see God in with physical eyes and remain alive but the devil ( spirit being) can see God for permission to perpetrate evil .

Your whole excuse falls apart when one remembers that Adam also could see God.

Seeing God is more than an a one-on-one meeting. Seeing God means to make it to His kingdom.

Nowhere in the bible is the devil called a fallen angel.Even if devil is an angel as claimed by you and your bible,he's not a fallen one.
Jude 1:6 (NIV) -And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness,bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.
.
So even angels that failed with their positions are bound in darkness and fetters with everlasting chains and not fallen into earth.

The devil and other angels are spirit beings and God is also a Spirit being,it is there4 easy for them to see God even to accuse us b4 God.
Revelation 12:10 KJV
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Ok,and easy access to work together right?

Not necessarily.

No man can see God in with physical eyes and remain alive but the devil ( spirit being) can see God for permission to perpetrate evil .

This is a lie,many saw god in the bible and remain alive.
Genesis 32:30 (NIV) -So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying,It is because I saw God face to face,and yet my life was spared.

Exodus 24:9-10 (NIV) -Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu,and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire,clear as the sky itself
.Hmmm

then where did the meeting hold.where did they went to meet God if not in heaven

Ebig22:

The meeting took place in heaven.Read this
2 Chronicles 18:19-22 (NIV) -And the LORD said,Who will entice Ahab king of Israel into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?
One suggested this,and another that.
Finally,a spirit came forward,stood before the LORD and said,I will entice him.By what means?' the LORD asked.
I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,he said.
You will succeed in enticing him,'said the LORD,Go and do it.
So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you
. What's a lying spirit if not satan?

I can not state. I have to be silent on issues the bible is silent.
But since heaven was not mentioned, it could be that it was not in heaven.
However, i wish to state that bible talks about a type of presenting our bodies to God. Rom 12:1 That presenting is done here on earth.
That should show that the sons of God presenting themselves might not necessarily be in heaven.

When a man is perfect b4 God there is nothing that satan can do to kill him because d protection of God is with him. Like the case of Job, satan asked God to remove His protection and allow him to tempt Job so that Job can curse God and die.

This means if you obey God and restrict d devil , he will flee from you.
That of Adam and Eve were direct and wilful disobedience to the commandment or instruction of of God. Satan could not tempt Job and succeed. He knew he would fail.
Before Jesus Christ's death, it is your obedience and dis obedience that matters, on which many failed.
After d death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we have d grace to ask for forgiveness, c/o Jesus, whenever we transgress.
That is why d devil is called the accuser of the children of God.

In summary, if you are a sinner, a non believer of Jesus death on d cross, d devil does not need to ask for God's permission b4 terminating your life or to wreck havoc. But for a christian, every mistake you make ,d devil will challenge you, but since the grace and protection of Jesus is there for you, he ( devil ) will tempt you and make a report against you b4 God. At written in Hebrews 4:14-16 KJV
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. [15] For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. [16] Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

God did not send satan nor did He allow him to tempt Adam and Eve into eating d forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve heard d instructions from God and they fell for the temptation, which is d genesis of d problems if d whole world.
