I gave you two verses, one obviously says Satan, which is this one

1Chro 21:1 Then Satan stood against Israel and incited David to number Israel.

Where is Satan in the next verse?

2Sam 24:1 Again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”

Recconcle them
Already did. God uses evil against evil!

I don't think there is anything wrong with that, and about Job, how did He use Satan against a man who actually eschewest evil

Typo: I miight have missed the dead line "eschewest"

You've never read Job? God gave Satan permission to destroy Job's family.

Why do you always ask a dumb quetion, like, You do not read your bible, You never read Job (when I am quoting from the bible and I mention Job).

I asked because you said, God uses evil against evil!

Job 1:8 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?

So I asking for you to recconcile your beliefs (that are so so literal)

But you sound like you skipped the most important part.

I didn't say Job was evil. Are you?

I'm sure you will make something up to divert

I did not accuse you of saying that, nor have I, but nice diversion

Since you said, God uses evil against evil (meaning Satan against evil) and you said God only used evil against evil, seeing that God used Satan in Job's situation (and Job was not considered evil) recconcile your first statement if you are able.

Bottom line: God does whatever He chooses and doesn't ask my permission, nor yours. He didn't ask permission to drown all on Earth but 8. And He won't ask permission to burn BILLIONS of humans in Hell forever!

Satan needs Gods permission to sift believers

Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat

And he gets it, just as he did with Job.

And you just couldn't resist a personal barb, just like Satan.

I did say, " Good we finally agree, good work grasshopper, hop along

There was nothing negative meant by it,

Its what my dad would tell me when we agree between us and when there was no further contention he would tell me to hop along.

Unless you want to hang out and bicker?

Let's stick to Scripture.
