Why would people prefer taking paracetamol on another person's sickness. Wetin concern you and how satan became corrupted? Hv you asked yourself why we humans ase limited? Its just lyk asking "who created God,"? Na everything u must knw? De ones wei dey bible never do u? Na wa ooo. We humans can be so terrifying. We wanna know everything even wen we know we cant know everything, if possible we humans will know more than God. This is absolute GREED! No wonder God stopped de building of de tower of Babel. WE ARE LIMITED. Take it or leave it!

The Book of Enoch. http://book-ofenoch.com/download-pdf/

It was read by early Christians but was considered heretic by the Catholic Church and banned.

The Book predates the Bible by over 3,000 yrs.

Enoch in his opening remark stated clearly that the book does not belong to this generation but for a generation yet to come.

Lilith, the first wife of Adam is the Jezebel of the bible and she was an ancient demonic goddess worshiped by the ancient people. In pre-islamic times, she was know as al ilāh. Today you know her as Allah the moon goddess.

I was wondering where you got your f00lish mind from...wow its so exceptional..e ri ori bi igbin kekere

uchennamani:
following bible's logics, the lucifer was God's own creation alongside other heavenly beings. But that logic is full of flaws and imperfections. For if we are to go along with this, it means that heaven was not a perfect place after all. Yes, and I stand to be corrected with superior arguments and facts. This esposed the nature of God's power and its neutrality. It is neither bad or good but neutral. Neutral in the sense that one could use it for something positive or negative. Lucifer used his own in a negative way. But tell any xtian that heaven is not a perfect place and he or she would tag u as a carnal being. It is not a perfect for the simple reason that his decision to go bad happened in heaven of all place

fhemyxXx:
so mean to say he created evil too..then we shouldn't really be blamed for not being able to resist evil,neither should we be tagged sinners,HE created sumn and wants us to desist from it,why didn't he just destroy evil itself before it corrupted lucifa's mind,so we can all live forever and happy,or doesn't HE want that? Don't tell me HE created someone in his own image and then allows the person to perish just for one silly rule he went against? Even ones parents won't let you go astray as much as they want to beat you to death for going against their rule ,not to talk of the Almighty..The thing is,there are somethings Human beings shouldn't know and I'm fvcking curious

This might seem contrary, but it is the truth. No evil spirit decieved the devil or lucifer, God created him for that purpose in other to bring about God own attributes. What are these attributes God wants to be God that is why he created angles to worship him, he wants to be a saviour, healer, etc but he canot be all these except there a man created and woman to make the man fall and he needs a devil to deceive the woman in turn deceive the man. So all these were his plan and the devil fell right into it.

MadCow1:


It indeed is that simple...

But does not make it right.

Any sane man would hear both sides of the story before making a judgement.. But in Christianity the case is different.

That is why I have chosen to stay neutral in this matter.. God who ordered the Israelis not to kill also ordered them to wipe out the Canaanites in the same book of Exodus. Infact, the journey of the Israelis from Egypt to Canaan was riddled with killings.

God killed more people in the Bible than Lucifer yet the bible let's us to believe that Lucifer is the bad guy..


Gods word is indeed Law..

Mavor:
He was not an Archangel. He was a Seraphim, Seraphims are the first of the nine celestial orders of angels: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. One of the few angels then allowed to stand in the presence of God and look upon God and not be blinded by God's Glory.

Like every sentient being God created, he was given free will and chose wrongly.




1st Sphere – Seraphim, Cheribum and Thrones
2nd Sphere – Dominions, Virtues and Powers
3rd Sphere – Principalities, Archangels and Angels.

SERAPHIM – sometimes called “the burning ones” because they are closest to God and radiate Pure Light. These are the Angels who constantly sing God’s praise, and whose duty it is to regulate the heavens. (Lucifer is said to have been one of the Seraphim who had outshone all the others untill he became the head of the fallen angels).

CHERUBIM - sent to guard the gates of Eden. Originally they were depicted as the bearers of God’s Throne, as the charioteers, and as powerful beings with four wings and four faces. However, in modern times, Cheribum have evolved into chubby babies with wings.

THRONES - called the ‘many eyed ones’ have the duty of carrying out God’s decisions. They are often represented as fiery wheels.

DOMINIONS – their job is to regulate the duties of the other Angels and ensure that God’s wishes are carried out.

VIRTUES – the Angels of Grace who bring God’s blessings to Earth, usually in the form of miracles. Known as the ‘brilliant’ or “shinning'” ones, they are associated with acts of heroism and bring courage when needed.

POWERS - their job is to prevent the ‘fallen angels’ from taking over the world and keeping the Universe in balance. They are also seen as the Angels of birth and death.

PRINCIPALITIES – the Guardian Angels of cities, nations and rulers, and guards against the invasion of evil angels.

ARCHANGELS - probably the best known of all Angels. They carry God’s most important messages to humans. They also command God’s ‘armies’ of Angels in the constant battle with the “sons of darkness.”

ANGELS - the Celestial Beings closest to humans. They act as intermediaries between the Almighty and humanity. Often called our “Guardian Angels.”

see,its possible for us not sin.
Matt 5:48;says ''therefore be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect''
this cant be possible unless by the holy spirit&Grace
i tell people this,devil aint our problem.our problem is our flesh.Lust,love of money etc..we luv wordly things.and this is the reason many will miss rapture
another thing from your statement is for eg
You are given poo and fried rice&asked to chose 1.which one you go take? see,heaven is all about the elect..so it means only few people are needed in heaven.God is not interested in many people buh only few and this can be seen out of the story of Gideon(judges7) and the selection of the 12 apostles out of 70 people

Ekeretom4:
Where did you get the story of lucifer from?
The Bible does not talk about lucifer except in Isaiah where the prophet Isaiah used it to describe king Nebuchadnezar's wicked rule (since He was claiming to be de bright & morning star.)..Codedly ,Isaiah was telling Nebuchadnezar that lucifer (which means morning star) will one day fall from his heaven (throne) ....Isaiah 14:12.

Weselion:
The Bible says God is a jealous God, where did his jealousy come from? The Devil?

MISSCONGENIALITY:
The Problem of Evil, philosophy will say, if God is infintely God and perfect, from where then did Evil come from, does that mean that God does not have the power to stop evil, ot does it mean that he graeted Evil, or did someone add Evil to the perfect creation and that means that someone else also have the power to creat. But I being a christian and a philosophy student, I have decided within myself that to [s] believe that God did not create Evil but that he made man free and gave him the will to power [/s] . He gave the angels power and freedom. Gave them wisdom to know what is good and bad. Lucifer knew what was good and out of his free will, choose pride which led to his downfall. Having fallen, he decided to caltivate more evil.

Youngsage:

- He wasn't just a devoted angel, he was very very powerful. As a matter of fact, he was an Archangel, the most powerful of the three that God created.
He was a magnificent being , with more intellect, wisdom, ability and beauty than the other angelic beings, was awesome to behold. No wonder God named him Lucifer which means 'Day Star' or 'Son of The Morning'.
To cut the long story short, it got to a point that he became discontent with his position, even as the angel of worship/music director in heaven, and prominence and wanted to overthrow God. His downfall began because Pride entered his heart, and because of his power, he got some angels on his side, one third of all the angels, this then led to a war between lucifer and his men, and the other archangel/angels.
He was defeated, and together with the fallen angels, was banished from Heaven and God changed his name to Satan/Devil meaning 'adversary', and these fallen angels are known today as Demons... And so on.

The spirit that polluted Satan, came from Satan himself, it entered him- from him that moment he allowed Pride take over him. Hence the origin of sin originated from the creation, not the creator. Never.
Although Satan, or Lucifer was not created evil, he originated His own sin which which was pride and rebellion against God.
The same sin Adam commited. Rebellion- deliberately disobeying God's intsruction- The first or original sin- on Earth...

Ofcouse, the Devil is the ruler of this Earth, that is why prosperity is never a measure of righteousness..

Even jesus Said it, We (christians) are not of this world.

It's a deep sentence, only the wise will understand.
It means that we shouldn't measure up with un believers, the number cars they have, houses and Mansions they av built, we shouldn't be bothered of material things of Earth, but primarily concerned with the Life after this life.
Your welcome.

emmyrichie:
According to the tale, until a certain point, the devil (Lucifer) was a devoted angel.

My question is, where did the spirit that polluted the creature (Satan) emanate from?

Weselion:
It was not an evil spirit, it was pride. When God Creates a living thing, he allows them make choices. Angels knew how powerful God was and know the consequence of not worshiping him, the Devil wanted to face the consequence. Even human beings have a choice, its either you worship God or the Devil but there are bad consequences when you worship the devil.

johnydon22:


see guy leave this thing... You are in planet earth and that is the only reality their is... its just sad how people ignore the known and love the unknown.
you have been taught since childhood about heaven and u believe it totally which is good for u, but neither of us are sure about that heaven is real we only know because someone told us... you are on earth which is the only reality and u and i cant argue about that cus it is truer than true. so enjoy this world while u can, even there will be an eternal life for u as u hope u are still unsure. u are only sure of this one chance which u have now, this one opportunity to walk the earth. make the most of it... Thank You

johnydon22:

so a perfect being created by a perfect god in a perfect and sinless realm bore out evil from his thought... are u listening to urself . . . if lucifer could bore out evil from his thought that means he wasnt perfect so therefore god made an imperfect being then blame him for his imperfections. . . . when will adults stop believing all dis folklore and myths.
