Like another thread I do believe that Satan still has periodic rights to God's throne.
Explain please, what is the scripture that shows this to you?

I would use a term such as divine permission.Like another thread I do believe that Satan still has periodic rights to God's throne.
http://www.gotquestions.org/Satan-access.htmlExplain please, what is the scripture that shows this to you?
Sorry, Kathi, I don't see any of those scriptures that says satan has access to the throne of God or that God is even talking to him any more.
Which one do you see?
Yes, I can understand this.Since God is holy and absolutely without sin (Isaiah 6:3), and since He will not even look on evil (Habakkuk 1:13), how can Satan be in heaven? The answer involves God’s sovereign restraint of sin. In Job 1, Satan stood before God to give an account of himself. God initiated the meeting, led the proceedings, and remained in absolute control (verse 7). The result was that Satan’s power was limited (verse 12) and God was glorified.
Here are some other facts to note: 1) Satan does not have open access to God’s presence. He is summoned by God. 2) The visits are temporary. His time before God’s throne is limited. 3) In no way is the purity of heaven tainted by the brief, God-ordained presence of a sinful being, “quarantined,” as it were, by God’s regulatory power. And, 4) Satan’s access is only granted prior to the final judgment. After the judgment, God creates a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1), wipes away all tears from our eyes (verse 4), reveals the New Jerusalem (verse 10), and promises the complete absence of sin (verse 27).
When we say, “God cannot allow sin into heaven,” we simply mean that God cannot allow human beings who are still in their sin to live in His presence. But it is possible for God to command a sinful being to stand (temporarily) in His presence in order to commission him (Isaiah 6), to exact an account from him (Job 1-2), or to judge him (Revelation 20:11-15) without compromising His holiness.

This tell me that Satan has temporary visits before God.
Right....that is speculation.But what I am reading tells me that occasionally Satan is summoned by God.Yes, I can understand this.
I wouldn't say that Satan is ever on the throne.
Blessings.
God spoke to Satan, for example, about the testings of Job.Right....that is speculation.But what I am reading tells me that occasionally Satan is summoned by God.
Yes.God spoke to Satan, for example, about the testings of Job.
Blessings.

I love Ephesians 6...I read all of that when you posted the link. Most of the scriptures in that article don't say anything about it that I can see. I agree with them that in the OT, he had access and even in the Gospels before the cross because Jesus told Peter that satan was asking for permission to sift Peter. Jesus says He saw satan cast down from heaven but that could have been at any time?
So this article doesn't help me. Glad it did you though.
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Then we will have to agree to disagree.

I think if you read my posts, above, you'll see the terminology I would and would not use. Blessings.Yep, in the OT and in the Gospels, satan asked permission to sift Peter.
So farouk, do you believe that satan has access to heaven to the throne of God, to accuse the believers, in Jesus?
I think if you read my posts, above, you'll see the terminology I would and would not use. Blessings.
This is exactly what I would say.Whatever is happening in heaven and whatever God is allowing is ok with me.He is God.
Amen and Amen!!!Whatever is happening in heaven and whatever God is allowing is ok with me.He is God.
