of things one is God calls the shots not satan satans
demons bow to Gods authority and must get his permission so they beg Jesus to send the
demons into the pigs.Jesus allows it so we can see satans purpose is always to destroy life.God is still the same yesterday today and forever he is the giver
of life.We do know that the pigs were owned by the gentile nations and may well have been offered or
about to be offered to there gods which would mean they would belong to satan.Like the example Jesus said
about taxes should he pay them and he said give to caesar what is caesars.Or the other option was that it showed Gods mercy to the man that had been healed by delivering him
of the
demons and he was also protecting the people in the area from the influence
of the
demons.So God is still the same he is unchangeable and definitely not bipolar.I would say if anyone was bipolar in this situation it is David and he like us struggled with the same choice to walk according to the flesh or walk according to the spirit
of God.brentnz
