I want to hear some terrible Christian reasoning. BS sustains me.

God had a plan of salvation in place long before any beings were created. He allowed for beings to have the power of choice. Satan chose to want to be worshiped like God. Hence at the moment he rebelled he was thrown out of heaven. Jesus also said that hell was created for the devil and his angels it says in Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels"
Lucifer had a choice to love and worship God. Instead he chose to want the worship of all the angels for himself.
God's plan of salvation included human beings that were later created.and that would have the same choice as the angels did. For mankind's time was in the Garden of Eden with man's first parents when man allowed the devil to tell them what God meant about "not touching or eating the fruit of the tree". the devil lied to them.
Some believe that God messed up. but that is not true. We would expect a perfect God to have a plan in place that would allow all mankind to be saved, even if they rebelled against God. The choice to accept God's free gift of salvation is up to you.

God did not create evil, but He did allow it to happen.

I believe this was permitted by God for 2 major reasons:
1. Because of the laws of order.
2. This furthered His desire for Adam to have a choice in choosing to obey, therefore allowing love thru choice to exist.
3. Adam had the authority to stop satan and bring all the earth including the serpent and the Tree of Knowledge back into their place under God away from corruption.
Lets remember:
1. God allowed it.
2. God did give power to break it.
Does a father allow the traffic to exist in front of his house despite the child's safety concerns? Yes. Because even the traffic and road serves the father. Though indirectly.

I guess in a way... but Lucifer was an Angel, serving God. Angels are suppose to serve God without question. Lucifer got mad at God, and decided to turn away. Lucifer decided himself to become "evil". He "let" him because God does not want to force his angels to love him. they do from choice. Suppose he did know that one day Lucifer would reject him, however, that was his choice to make and perhaps God thought Lucifer could decide to change his way. If Lucifer were to say "im sorry Lord please forgive me" God loves him so much still he would.

So according to nina God(Jesus) knew that he (Satan) will become evil that is why he created hell, interesting that the majority of humans are against God(Jesus) then God(Jesus) are the winner of the sadic of the universe.

i`ll never understand why some people enjoy ragging on someone whose beliefs differ from their own!
if you dont believe in Christ thats your choice! i`m not going to attack you just because you believe differently from me!
a true christian shares what they believe with others out of love and obedience to what they`ve been taught, because we have been given a desire to see others blessed as we have been!
not to try to provoke or hurt or to show others how STOOPID they are for what they believe! seems like a pretty empty and shallow life if thats all someone has to do!
but i guess thats just one of the evidences of a person who doesn`t know God!
as long as you`re breathing there`s still hope, we`ll just keep praying for you!!!

Lucifer had a choice. God created the hell for his kind.

Because God could be evil too? Dunno...don't care...he ain't real anyway...so it's all good! ^_^ We do stuff on our own accord, our own will, not any divine (or otherwise) being....

If that's the way you feel, then you don't deserve an answer.
