Actually there is much truth to that. Because God has no equal Satan (not Satin), is just the final exam for all the students here on Earth. I mean look at the story of Job. It was a gamble between God and Satan. Granted his fate is set, but until then, Satan and God remain very much in contact...
it was really never a gamble between god and Satan over job. God knew what would happen but Satan didn't. Satan does have access to heaven, but he cannot stay there. Here is what the scriptures say, one day the angels came to show themselves before the lord. Satan also came with them. The lord said to Satan, "where have you come from?" Satan answered the lord, "I have been wandering around the earth. I have been going back and forth in it." Then the lord said to Satan, "have you noticed my servant job? No one else on earth is like him. He is an honest man and innocent of any wrong. He honors god and stays away Rom evil. But Satan answered god, "job honors god for a good reason. You have put a wall around him, his family, and everything he owns. you have blessed the things he has done. So his flocks of sheep and herds of cattle is large. They almost cover the land. But reach our your hand and destroy everything he has . Then he will curse you to your face." The lord said, all right, then. Everything job has is in your power. But you must not touch job himself." Then satan left the lord's presence. Satan does this almost everyday to this day for the persecution of the saints.
