Atheist Pls Keep Off. Questions To My Fellow Christians by Nobody: 1:10pm On Sep 29, 2016
Fellow Christians... Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We were warned not to bear false witness

We were also warned not to promote partiality. Justice and fair opportunity for all, right? Ok

To my questions :

In the account of how devil wanted to dethrone God before he was casted, why hasnt devil or his representative come out to either debunk or confirm the truth in that story? Why is the story emanating from only one angle? Where is the justice?

Did the incident happen before or after Genesis 1:1?
Because everything was supposed to be dark and void and formless until the advent of genesis 1v1



Mature answers please. Thanks

It is better you invite atheists because while on the journey out of delusion, atheists are forced by their search of truth to read the bible and other religious texts objectively.

Most Christians only open their bibles on Sundays in church and only go to where the pastor dictates. Then they dump the bible till next Sunday or when next they attend the next church service

Dethrone? No way. That presumes that God and the devil are rival. It's always been a master/servant relationship. That is what angels are. Servants.

And it seems that fallen Angel still finds his way before God:


Job 1:6 |
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Am 200% sure that dethroning God has never crossed the devils mind grin

To give credence to the story ba?
We need to authenticate that story.. Is it a mere fabrication or a true account?


If it will take the devil to come out and debunk the story, yes, let him come out.

You want me to believe that crap of a story?.

Okoh1,

Good day brother. Greetings to you and all the faithful in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Yours is a very good question. You see, you don't expect the devil to be honest with you. Even when it appears he is saying the truth, we know that his aim is to deceive and mislead. The Bible calls the devil a murderer from the beginning, and the father of lies(Jn. 8:44). If you went to Satan to hear his own side of the story, be sure he'll deny ever challenging GOD. He might even say GOD just cast him out for no reason. But we know our GOD is a GOD of Justice.

The devil daily denies being guilty of treason in Heaven. Haven't you heard satanists trying to tell you how good and innocent Satan is, and how evil and unjust GOD is? The fact that there exist voices today who assert GOD is unjust goes to show you that Satan is trying everything possible to malign GOD.

That incident happened before the Creation. Remember, "...and the earth was without form and void." Gen. 1:2.

GOD bless you.

Falling is in reference to being removed from God's fellowship/presence. Or falling out of favour with God. Men fall away from God when they sin.

As a Christian, swallowing every line, hook and sinker from maneuvering humans is sickly.

Why use fall from sky or heaven instead of just telling us that God and satan parted ways?


God parting of ways with man happened here on earth so that is even a wrong reference to make

Why didnt God try to reconcile satan to himself like he did man?

There are Luciferan websites which have their own stories in them. You could check Joyofsatan, a website owned by an adherent of Satanism and paganism. You could also google search the Sumerian version of the creation story where Satan and God are portrayed as brothers and where Satan is the good guy. There are lots of websites you can check that. An adherent of Luciferanism also has a thread on this website.

Like seriously, we Christians should be blamed for the rising number of Atheist. We present fake and unconfirmed stories without source or prove.

We agreed to be maneuvered and try to draw others into the pit of delusions.

Very important question you just asked there.. Which presents more important questions.

Note: There are several other planets apart from Earth created by God.

Now, if he casted down the devil onto earth when it was dark and without form, why still go ahead and create mankind and life form on the planet with evil in it.. Without first getting rid of the evil? He didn't create other planets then? undecided

If he casted down the devil after creating life and light on the planet, no one needs to tell you how foolish that is. Why not mercury or some very icy planet?

The incident happened before creation sir. How do I know
Isaiah 14 spoke about the fall of lucifer

12
ESV:“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!
13
ESV:You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;
14
ESV:I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
15
ESV:But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.

Ezekiel also spoke about his dethronment
Ezekiel 28:11-15


ESV:Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me:
12
ESV:“Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God: “You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13
ESV:You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared.
14
ESV:You were an anointed guardian cherub. I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15
ESV:You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you.

Note the king of tyre there is a figurative name referring to Lucifer
