Lets consider this for a moment. The devil was cast down to earth as a punishment. All of his followers fell here with him, and were trapped here. The jin, or demons, were also trapped here, and could not escape. These beings couldnt just "fly home." They had "lost their wings," so to speak. As we move further into time of creation, and man and woman are now roaming the earth. Angels take notice of our ladies, and how beautiful, and cool to hang out with they are, and so these angels covet our women. They teach them all matter of magic war vanity and greed, and have babies with them. Now, we have nephilim in the world, and their half human halg angel powers and stature. They take over the world. Then the flood. All the while Satan (who actually does have many names, and there seems to be Him and four helpers, or sub-satans (read the gospel pf Jude), is the ruler of all of this; and seems to have a structure to his rulership over this world. This rulership is time limited.
All the while we were put in the same place the most powerful angel (the devil) stuck here as punishment with us, with all these other megapowerful "sub-gods" and us we little powerless humans. Where, supposedly we only get one life to prove ourselves for all of eternity.
Only a dick god would create that.
God isnt a dick.
Man is...
We get more than this to learn and grow as a spirit. 20 30 40 50 and even if you live to be a 100 years old, that is not enough time for a spirit to be tested and "purified" enough to move onto the new world and new heaven.
I believe our souls get 1000 years to live here on this planet. To truly see what evil is, and the consequences thereof.
To know these mysteries is impossible. Know one knows the mind of God. And, anyone who claims to know the absolute truth is a liar. None of us know the absolute, exact truth as to why we are here, and what the meaning of all of this is.
My cousin died at 32 years old from cancer. Would a loving God only give him 32 years to determine if he is worthy of existense for all of eternity?
No... The Love I have come to find, my God would give him more time to learn and grow before deciding his fate of whether or not He wa going to toss my cousin in an eternal fire.
That sounds exactly* like something a narcasisstic mind would conjur up, just to control you with.
Thats the lie.
God is good.
Satan bad.
Whenever I first started Biblical studies and Ministry school the very first class I took was how to debate/argue/discuss. One of the first lessons was how to spot logical fallacies, and the second was lesson was on how to argue them in a constructive manner. As long as my emotions aren't a factor I am very good at arguing constructively, and even better at unraveling manipulated ideas.
Ive used these sites to practice, and hone these skills. Ive used this site in particular to try and master my emotions in arguments.
It was a bumpy ride, but worth it, for me.
