In christianity, God cast Satan out. I am agnostic to demonstrate my position. If God cast Satan out then it stands to reason that God still had a purpose for Satan otherwise God would have destroyed him. Is heaven a place or and ideal. Like Jesus is the son of God and he is also god. The duplicious nature could be extended to say that the Location of heaven is also God. Heaven is the mind of god and to do his bidding is to enter into the mind of god. What was unknown becomes known. If heaven is god, it stands to reason that when god cast satan out then god created a second place--Hell which in like fashion is the mind of Satan. It was taught to me in college and in Math classes (none advanced) that there are no absolutes. Allow me to explain my thoughts. If you eradicate all that is considered evil in the world you are left with only good. After achievement of this state it is logical that the definition of evil will be redefined. Does each exist only to define the other?

i believe in a large part it does exists to define the other... you can't appreciate sugar as much with out the salt... you can't understand day with out night, etc... however i would disagree about your preconceived notions about God, heaven and Jesus...
I am not a trinity be liver, so it makes my belief structure much simpler in the end when trying to figure the whole life question...

First of all, I don't agree with your reasoning. Secondly you answered your own question and contradicted it at the same time, by " is heaven a place or an idea not ideal " and then," IT stands to reason that when God cast out Satan, he then created a second>>>>>>>>> place. <<<<<<< So no it's not for people like yourself to try and understand the mind of GOD because you you can't accept anything until you experience it first hand. If you really want to know, First study what you don't understand. then when are with knowledge and experience, you need both and then try a well known spiritual ritual, fast 3 days many gurus and Indians all did this. and read the book of Hebrews at the end of your fast and ask this question, alone and by yourself, GOD i would like to know the truth and if you are who you say you are then in some way show me that i may give answer to this mystery. well bud hope you find what your seeking because i was in your shoes not so very long ago. I got my answer. good luck and let me know how you feel

First of all, Jesus is the son of God, a created being and NOT God. Secondly, Jesus cast Satan out of heaven (where God lives) and threw him down to earth. Him and all the angels who followed him in being disobedient before the flood (by having sex with human women). God is not finished with Satan. Soon, Jesus will lock Satan away in a pit for 1,000 years. Then, he will let him loose for a short time. Then, he will destroy him and anyone who chooses to follow him.

If you are saying that as each person's mind would be added to Satan and God's minds, the definition of good and evil would change, then it would be easy to say that this happens to most variable systems on Earth. As one variable changes, as does the other. And when two variables are dependent on each other, a change in one will change the other- by quantity or definition. So in saying that as each person's views were added to the systems of heaven and hell, so were their definitions changed.
Another aspect of this is that each thing in nature usually has its opposite, and in most cases it is an equal, on average. Like scientific laws, each has variables that move in one end of the spectrum while other variables move the other way. But most scientific laws are defined to where one variable's change proves the existence of the other's change. Think of shadows: a shadow isn't really made of anything, and therefore is the absence of light. My view on the matter is that the presence of mind in God or Heaven defines the evil composed in Satan or Hell, with reactions due.

God's purpose for Satan is to have to suffer in eternal damnation, just as it is for all who do not believe and lead the life of one with an evil heart.
Jesus is the son of God, not God!
Heaven and Hell are not actual places.
You cannot visit them on a tour.
It is the state that our soul is left in when we die.
If you are truly God's child, you will dwell in the house of the Lord. In peace.
If you choose to live otherwise, you will suffer eternal damnation. Your soul will be in constant turmoil.
Why do you think we have hauntings, ghosts, and other paranormal experiences?
These are the souls who are unresolved and lost...
They have nowhere to go because they cannot let their souls rest in peace.
Those of us who live with God and do our best to do the right things and live by His word, rest in peace.
I do not believe there is a reunion when we die. I think we all just die with the happiness of living a good, true life. In peace :-)
