After living eternally with God why would some spirits decide to fight against him in heaven?

Question

The writers of this stuff must have thought on a third grade level. Oh...
War in heaven? Is this the place we want to return to?

Answer 1

Isn't that a truly silly story!

A better question is "Why would God, knowing full well in advance that they would suffer eternal torture, create billions of souls, and place them in the world that he made, let them experience the terrible events that shaped them to become the people who would, after causing harm to other beings that would also cause them to be damned, wind up in hell forever?" Sometimes I think the bible must have been written by those who wished to discredit God, and make him look bad.

Demand a better class of diety.

I suggest this: Imagine the very best possible outcome for every single being that ever existed in this strange dimension, and then allow for the limits of our mentality, and know therefore, that God's plan is even better than the best we can imagine. It's just not detailed in the scriptures of any religion. Jesus said, "The kingdom of Heaven is within you." The word "is" implies that it is within you now. My experience agrees with his statement, so far. I say, if you look within, you may find the aforementioned plan detailed there.

Answer 2

Look up the book "The Great Controversy Between Jesus Christ and Satan" By E.G. White. In the book find the chapter entitled 'The Origin of Evil'. It gives a good proposition as to how and why these angels rebelled against God.

Answer 3

properly, that's impossible to stay perpetually, whether that replaced into actual. in case you have been to stay for an rather, very long term, you would be sucked right into a black hollow devoid of probability of ever escaping ever, basing on the very great IF of an "afterlife". I carry close a theory of life as a base of a nonexistant entity, helped via different factors to very virtually create something. For a destructive occasion of this, yet in all probability the superb one i'm able to think of of, think of a thinking robotic. it may think of, talk, hear, touch, etc. yet once you destroy it down, that's basically difficulty-loose programming and 1s and 0s, and not probable a entity nor skill, basically each and every thing growing to be a member of jointly as one, form of a nasty occasion. I truly have observed you have faith in God and eternal life, I went by using this section besides as all of us else, I advise you examine out technology and the data earlier you come to an rather final end, and discover the two aspects for each and all of the data helping their claims. I ensue to be an atheist, yet it is besides the factor. i will tutor you a thank you to interior the superb way i'm able to, judging based on the Bible. God of the bible says that, assuming you're in basic terms a Christian and bible-follower, particularly than a church follower, you may persist with each and all of the ten commandments and the previous statements in them. you may persist with each and all of the regulations (study Mathew 6-8), and could in no way draw or sculpt nor placed something earlier God. This incorporates putting off interpreting the bible for an further 10 minutes of GTAIII. i don't comprehend each and all of the Christian claims of shifting right into a "heaven", yet solid success and that i'm hoping you recognize the actuality, the faster the greater constructive :) !

Answer 4

Anthropomorphic characters talking about abstract ideas: Pride, Desolation, Evil. Parables and archetypal truths. Worthless if the brain is caught in literalism. Enjoy your concrete slippers.

Answer 5

The angels were all created beings. So they did not dwell with God from the beginning. At the time when they were created, God made Lucifer (also known as the devil and Satan) as the most beautiful and glorious of all the angels.

This is what the Bible says about Satan's rebellion against God:
"How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God. I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit."

As of now, Satan still walks about on the earth. But it was his pride that caused him to rebel. Just like humans want to be greater than anyone else (ex: the best actress, the prettiest model, the smartest philosopher, the strongest man, the richest businessman, etc.--wanting to be the best goes much farther than elementary school.) so Satan also wanted to be exalted in heaven above God. And God cast Satan out because of Satan's desire to exalt himself above God. One third of the angels choose to leave with Satan.

God never fought with the angels--He has all power and would never need to. The war in heaven refers to Michael the archangel and his angels against Satan and his angels. Just like an army has ranks, so the angels in heaven also have ranks. Ephesians 6:12 talks about the different orders of angels.

The story would be similar to something like this: Say you were training to be a master musician under the world's greatest musician. But as you trained and became better and better, you realized that you wanted the title of world's greatest musician. So you "fought" against the person who trained you, but he won. So he cast you out from his presence and you were no longer friends.

Answer 6

The Angels were given a Limited Free-Will.
There is Just Something About a Free-Will, even when it is Limited.

Answer 7

There is nothing in the Bible that implies that angels have existed for eternity. We only know that they existed before the creation of the earth.

Answer 8

I suppose even in heaven boredom sets in, only so many times you can play a harp and sit on a cloud

Answer 9

Fairytale.

Answer 10

apparently, out of nowhere when god created man, satan wanted control (of man or of everything as god had control of?) ... and if it was everything then why out of nowhere did satan rebel, and if its over mans worship to him, then why did it matter to someoen who lived eternally whether or not mortals worshipped him? i find it all buncha bull. ... apparently god made the mistake of making an angel who he KNEW would rebel and create this tourment and chaos on earth....
