Right there is a concept I advanced not too long back, And also a question was put across.
Can God create what he cant control or destroy? Without getting into the long quotes and referals of other thinkers, I say,
God as we know him has no control over satan, God as we know him has no control over human life. Just like Satan does not.
God and Satan are 2 equal opposing forces: bringing my earlier hypothesis of a master creator, who created humans, born with a clean slate, no Goodness or evil in them, then the 2 make a rush for their souls (humans)
That would be the reason why God cannot end the earth or the world as we know it when he wants, but he is also bound by laws of a higher being to wait until after a certain time, hence the period prophecies, an all time powerful God, would not be bound by a timeline, and the argument that its to give man time to change would be moot, because we are not collective as beings, you live your 100 yrs and you are outta here, so man as a people, species whatever will never change to suit God or please him, he knows that, he has watched for 6000 yrs
Dont talk about mercy, relating to humans not being wiped out by God, coz we all die everyday and in different ways,and eventually we shall all die, so killing humans and starting over is not beyond logic, and it has been done before. mercy would mean to me, not dying (if you percieve that as mercy) or end of suffering and sickness.
