This is it

If u do not do God's will, u are evil.
If u do God's will u are good..
God created everything for his pleasure,, u dare not question d authority of ur creator,, all this argument is baseless because God can decide to do away with all his creation & start all over again...
Worship God,, because he alone deserves it & not another creation of his...

The devil was the first creation to go against God's will, thereby making him the father of evil....

Happy Sunday NLs

hensben:
This statement was after lucifer had sinned against God which mean evil is already in existence.

DrJoe1:


why did god send him down for exercising the franchise god himself gave him? @bold
seems the biblical god is a drunk jokester? gave right to 'choice' then punishes if the choice is made. the same game he played in eden, planted forbidden tree in the garden then punished many generations 'cos a talking-snake over smarted his myopic creatures.

Did the Devil mean he can dash Jesus the world, na him get the world?

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?

chrisviral:


God created pride. It's very simple.

Youngsage:

...
I didn't say pride isn't evil.
I said it earlier. Pride originated from Lucifer, now Satan. He wasn't created with it, he wasn't created with sin. He was made blameless, but he became proud because of his beauty, he wanted to rule. He wanted God's position.
Sin, or evil started as a result of Satan's pride. This pride originated from his thoughts, it came from within Him. God cannot be in the prescence of sin, so he had to cast him out into his own realm, where he could be king.

Pr0ton:


We are taught that we have two kind of spirits in us; good and bad. For every good action the good spirit is involved. For every bad action a deceiver is involved, the bad spirit. Satan fell a victim of yielding to the bad spirit. And the bad spirit is? oh remind me??

honourhim:


Why?

Adiwana:



Well,the devil didnt want to unsit God as we were made to believe cos he knows God is a consuming fire rather he wanted to take the place of Christ and thats why he has sworn that we will never get that Position..the thing is that is like something that was generated just like people had the mind to build airplanes and so on..remember that having knowledge about anything can lead to another thing
for eg:a child that has knowledge of what money is will then know what is used for and this can make him to steal

Collynzo9:

A gallon of fuel can be kept at home to run the generator in case of power failure, what is the purpose of that tree?
Simple question.

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...

astronautog:

chrisviral:


Because he is God and it is right to him.

emmyrichie:


Meaning, it was created with the evil spirit of pride?

Was the spirit inbuilt?

Why was the spirit in it/him before its manifestation?

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.”

Ok, so god's perfect creation has an inherent corruption.
Then god's not perfect to begin with.

Did you say its right to him when the bible said that God hates pride?

Pr0ton:


If Satan was created blameless and pure, but yet sinned... Then God "should take heed lest He falls"

DrJoe1:


why did god send him down for exercising the franchise god himself gave him? @bold
seems the biblical god is a drunk jokester? gave right to 'choice' then punishes if the choice is made. the same game he played in eden, planted forbidden tree in the garden then punished many generations 'cos a talking-snake over smarted his myopic creatures.

Collynzo9:

Then it becomes temptation and nothing else.
So God intentionally tempted Adam and Eve with that tree?

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.

and that's how they run away...

They are all blind people. I wonder what the jewish god is got on them, paradise? Greedy id.iots.
