AS regards the battle between Lucifier and the angels in heaven why would he have have thought he could win?

Question

I mean surely he would have known he was up against the supreme being and therefore to embark on such a venture would be futile. Also I really want to know why God in his infinite wisdom didnt put a stop to it instantly. I mean if I was God I would say" right this is gona end badly better to forgive Lucifier completley, put him in his place, to ensure the avoidance of the creation of evil. As an all loving God I could not bear to have one of my angels in everlasting suffering as it would seem so cruel to me. Better to use my power to put him right before things get out of hand."Also how could God have created a flaw in the creation of satan if he is so perfect - it would not be possible as all created angels would be sublime and not bad unless of course God wanted to create evil but why would he as he is pure goodness. Also if God had not allowed the battle and thus the creation of evil there would have been no original sin in eden and we'd all be ok now.

Answer 1

It seems that the Angels too went through a period of testing by God and that they did not necessarily see God face to face at this time,this makes sense when you realize that Lucifer was the top guy and allowed his position to go to his head and as he commanded all other Angels he believed in his own press,does this sound oddly familiar even with human beings?

Answer 2

Theodicy is a specific branch of theology and philosophy that tries to reconcile the existence of evil or suffering in the world with the assumption of a benevolent God —ie. the problem of evil. It's a devil of a problem, and one for which every proposed answer sounds like "straining at gnats and swallowing camels."

Every proposed theodicy, and there are dozens of variants, violates Occam's razor (the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating, or "shaving off," those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory) except the solution that there is no God.

I've always been struck by the instantaneous mental leap from "theodicy" to "the idiocy."

Answer 3

It's a children's story.

Lucifer is an ancient Roman/Pre-Roman name for the planet Venus. The planet appears in the Morning sky as a harbinger of dawn and then continues it's ascent until it is over taken by the Sun and disappears from sight.

Later in its cycle, it appears as the evening star, and was referred to as Mephisto.

The story is a children's tale to teach them the cycles of the planets.

It was quoted by an old testament prophet and used to criticize a Babylonian ruler. Even the prophet understood it was a metaphor.

Enter the Christians, God Bless 'Em! Learning disabled, culturally bankrupt and lacking any form of comprehension.

And now there's a Lucifer/Satan, all because Christians can't read and don't know what those pesky word thingies mean.

No wonder you have to go to Church and sit around having someone read to you. It's like Story Hour in grade school.

Answer 4

There is no biblical support for the idea that an archangel named "Lucifer" rebelled against God and was expelled from heaven. That myth is based on a misunderstanding of a few passages that refer to earthly kingdoms (in the Old Testament), and the constellation of Draco (New Testament).

Answer 5

In the old testament, Lucifer ruled over the Law. That should be self explanitory.
How far thou hast fallen - Bright and Shining One. The Justice system is corrupt. Notice how the Judges wear black robes the same as Priests?

Answer 6

Regardless of if there was a battle or not, humans were given "free will" so eventually we probably would have messed up at some point even without Satan.

Answer 7

Another crappy story that wasn't well thought out.

How many questions are these?
