Why did Satan...
say to Constantine, "youre the one soul, I would come UP here to collect myself", but then he actually dripped down and came from above??
classic movie mistake, or am i missing something?
Constantine tried to commit suicide but failed. That meant his soul belonged to Satan. But after his failed attempt he fought Satan and evil, foiling many evil plans. So Satan REALLY wanted him. Unfortunately for Satan, Constantine committed a noble act of self sacrifice, redeeming himself. So Satan cured Constantine's cancer in the hope that he would commit another mortal sin during his extended life.
Hairy
yes, i got that from the movie.
i was really asking about why satan said he would willing come up to our level here on Earth for Constantine, meaning coming up from hell below, but in the movie, he actually came from above. we dont actually see him appearing but the first we see of him, is the black tar-like substance dripping down, suggesting that he is descending from a high place.

On the director commentary they said that Satan had to desecrate the ground before he could walk on earth. So while he came up from hell, he could not touch ground until the demonic black tar like substance dripped from his being.
shareBut why would God allow Satan to do that? Doesn't god have more power than satan and could have stopped him from doing that to Constantine so that he could go to heaven?

According to Constantine, God and Satan made a bet to see who could win the most souls. They both stick the rules and allow souls to go "up" or "down" according to the set rules of the bet. God *could* have stopped Satan from healing Constantine, but it would have broken the rules of the bet. share
but why would god stoup so low to make a bet like that in the first place?
shareRead the book of JOB. That's where the idea comes from.
shareBecause God, according to the bible, is not the all loving all caring God modern Christians claim him to be.
Prof. Farnsworth: Oh. A lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm-My-Own-Grandpa!

Lucifer was god's closest friend and the highest of the angels, until he betrayed him, it's likely that they still talked afterwards. A bit like how Professor X and Magneto still enjoy the occasional game of chess in between Magneto's bouts of genocidal mischief.
You don't know sh!t, Jon Snow! share
