you STILL don't get it......WHERE DID HE LEARN ABOUT PRIDE AND JEALOUSY......HE MUST OF SAW IT SOMEWHERE BEFORE

Answer 1

How ........the f ......?
Christianity is so full of inconsistencies that it amazes me that there are so many gullible followers.

Answer 2

Think. Satan didn't have to see some one else act that way in order for him to become that way. He was jealous of God. He wanted the worship to be given all to him.
If you take a mother of a small child and place a different child in her arms, nine times out of ten, that mothers own child is going to become very jealous.
God makes no mistakes, he gives all freewill. He doesn't want robots serving him. He wants genuine love and devotion.
Satan too had a mind of his own and he let his pride and jealousy ruin his relationship with God.

Answer 3

God didn't make a mistake, He gave humans and angels freewill. Ezekiel 28 describes Satan as an anointed cherub, so he was powerful, beautiful in appearance and was in a high position in the hierarchy of angels. Satan allowed his ego get out of hand. In Ezekiel 28;17 it describes Satan as having a "haughty heart" or an arrogance. He viewed mankind with disdain (you can see this by reading the first chapter of Job) and all this "attitude" lead to his sinning against God. Now if you go to James 1:13-15, you can see that it says that we are each tempted by our own desires. So Satan learned by doing, no one else taught him. He had no one else tempting him or influencing him, he has no one to blame but himself.

Answer 4

As I understand the process, God created us with free will. That would include all created beings...therefore you or Lucifer don't need anything to be tempted by to choose "wrongly".

Since not everyone believes in all the things Christians teach, and even Christians disagree on many of the philosophical questions (and you are having questions), why not look at other religions and see how they would answer these questions. All religions contain "Real Truths" (as well as real fanatics!) and it's up to the individual to find their best path. Keep thinking!

Answer 5

Satan manifested wrongful desires which it's fruitage became sin. He was not cast out of heaven immediately because in the book of Job at the beginning he joined the angels that were stationed with God in heaven. But since 1914 he has been cast to the vincinity of the earth as described in Revelation and is angry because he knows his time is short.

Answer 6

Oh but it's part of his "plan"

as in "Uh... good point, well... God must have done that on purpose"

Worst defense ever. In the original Jewish scriptures (like in the gnostic books) The Satan is not an outcast but a loyal servant of god whose job is to tempt man. He is the Satan (adversary) of Man, not of God.

Answer 7

God created evil but Satan wasn't always evil until the sin of pride entered in. God is still Omnipotent. God is not an author of confusion. His plans should not be judged but only those who sin against him and knowingly commit sinful acts daily.

Answer 8

Satan Fell the hour he learned that he would have to serve God and Man!

Answer 9

Lucifer was the Best of the Best...almost perfection. He became jealous of humankind and became filled with Pride....filled with himself.

He had a superior intellect and freewill. He used them wrong and tried to take God's place. The Archangel Michael stepped in. Michael's name translates to "Who is like God?"... meaning, you're not.

The only "mistake" God has made with Angels and Men is to give us the gift of intellect and freewill. God does not make the mistakes or create and act out the evil. We do

P.S. Addition: To answer your question....again.....that you can't seem to get over ranting long enough for it to soak in. Its called Superior Intellect. Angels are created with an intellect so superior it makes our most educated rocket scientist look like 1st graders. And Lucifer was the crown jewel at his creation. Like a child simply figuring out on their own they wanted something they did not have...so it was with Lucifer.

Answer 10

to all the so referred to as Christians-Who do you think of created the devil and the respond could desire to be God if in accordance to that " Holy" synthetic e book there became no longer something in the previous God and he created each and every thing-so in case you think of approximately it God could desire to have additionally created EVIL as properly,it rather is the reason all the suffering in this completely tousled planet exists, ask yourselves yet another one-Why does God merely no longer smash the devil and for the duration of doing so ALL evil could be long previous ,if God is all useful and crammed with love then actually it would make experience to maintain the limitless tens of millions that are loss of existence in discomfort or have been victims to mass murderers,Hitler,Stalin,and all something over the centuries,none of it mandatory to take place as all the scum I even have reported could have been miscarriages,yet no,the God of love desperate that harmless human beings could go through and die and you guy's worship him.....

Answer 11

the devil is a fallen angel b/c in heaven he was basically hating on the fact that god did all these wonderful things and thinking that he was just as good as god and just as powerful god sent him to earth
