The truth is God is to big to have an enemy. We keep seeing GOD the same way we see our earthly kings, cheifs and presidents. That's a mistake cause His ways are not our ways neither are His thought same as ours.we only have the same image and likeness not the same power. He is Almighty that means the devil must be equal to HIM to be HIS enemy and that is impossible since the created can not be greater than the Creator. The devil is simply a tool.
As bad as knives are we still need then in our houses that does not make knives an enemy. Same with fire. Please stop giving the devil too much credit cause of fear. That's his own weapon.
The devil is also doing his own job. He will also give his own account to the Almighty same as u . The question is are u doing what GOD set u here to do.
Are going to b a vessel for destruction like Pharaoh a (scape goat) for others to learn from or a son

Still wondering how a 'logical' mind would think that question actually debunks religion.

ade002:


Well the good thing about my King is that His everywhere, realtime, simply because His not Man. His Spirit, in me, is His signature on my life. He may have already informed me before sending someone to collect. And if he did not, he may have given me enough to give his messenger. After all if I die, I can't use the money am protecting. it becomes another mans property.
you cannot describe the taste of a drink without first tasting it, you cannot understand a strange language without an interpreter or tutor same thing you cannot understand God without His Spirit in you.

That's elaborate enough. Will you still be able to choose in heaven, or we will just be programs

Ranchhoddas:
It's a question. Will there be freewill in heaven?

malvisguy212:
Good and Evil exist, they are uncreated. In the absent of Evil, Good is present, in the absent of Evil, Good is present. Good and evil exist because of the choice we made.

lordnicklaus:
Not everyone will go to heaven. The earth will be transformed into a paradise and the people will still have freewill.

How Can Something Exist And Not Be Created

Scholar8200:
The basic Biblical description of evil is departing from God.

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Hebrew 3:12

When Adam and eve did so, the effect was seen from Cain to other descendants



Departing from God is an alternative available to all things created. Acts of wickedness and deception are the result of that choice when it is made.

On why God has not destroyed the devil, I believe lordnicklaus' parable answers you.

Ranchhoddas:
What makes you sure that the people in paradise will not use their freewill to sin again?

Lilbrown007:
Nope No One Has Answered It Yet

Scholar8200:
Evil as I defined it is an alternative open to all creatures. It will be against God's order to destroy the devil and evil as an alternative immediately.

The present scheme of things is an allowance for the playing out of evil (and the devil as its father) as an alternative till the time when, as an alternative,it exhausts itself, and God makes a full end thereof.

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Daniel 7:24

Recall that after the fall, Adam and Eve were sent out of the Garden ,"lest they eat the Tree of Life and live forever" in that fallen state. This implies that there could be a state , for man, where it will no longer be a case of free moral agency but an Eternal experience of a choice made.

Lilbrown007:
why all this are U Now Implying That God is Not All Powerful??

Scholar8200:
He is All Powerful and also All-Wise hence the part that speaks of His Order in creation. Why destroy the devil and evil, as an alternative, immediately and claim the others have free moral agency? When what you actually offer is a Hobson's choice?

So good and evil simply was? I thought God maketh all things. Evil came from nothing...Something came from nothing?
