Christianity will be boring without all these confusion and intricacies so I think that's why the writers of the Bible made it confusing.

God knew that the devil will betray Him, yet he created the devil and included him In His cabinet.

The devil became proud and decided to challenge God, God could have destroyed the devil, but No, he allowed him.

Today Christians have to cast and bind the devil all their lives when God can simply destroy the devil to make the Christian life easy for Christians but No, He will not do that.

Abeg OP, I don tire for religious mata.

God is just. Have you heard that before?

If he exhibits any form of injustice, he will lose his position and authority thereby creating anarchy in the entire universe.

The universe operate on rules. Access to those rules gives you power if you comply to them and diminishes you if you break them no matter who you are.

Too many questions to ask. For example, we now know that there are billions of other places in the universe that the demons who rebelled in heaven could have been sent to. Why were they sent to Earth, the only place that God himself meticulously created and placed His beloved humans?

It wouldn't have gotten to sacrificing someone if the Fruit of Knowledge wasn't planted in the same place where people who would eat from it reside.

Even it was planted in their residence. It shouldn't have been a sweet fruit. D tree should have produced bad n smelly fruits so they can simply avoid it even without instructions.

If we were adam or eve
We go still cast. They are human, so are we grin

grin let me tell you the secret! The Secret is that God Hates Rubbish and Satan is Rubbish.

So because loves Only a Clean Place He is therefore waiting for All the Rubbishes to Show up so that He can dispose All of Them Together with Satan.

So that His Houses would be Clean Again with No threat of any Rubbish getting them dirty.

So, Satan picks his fellow dustbins leaving behind the Clean.

That's the plan! grin

The concept of religion is a very tricky and complex concept to understand. When you try to be as objective as possible in dissecting religious beliefs to get to the core or root of it all, you'll be forced to say religion is nothing but a tool to manipulate or shape people's behavior and get people to reason in a controlled manner.

But then again, if you take your skepticism further into the law that establish the origin of things, either living or none-living, one will be compelled to believe that the world couldn't have just erupted from non-existence into existence. Just like it will be so lame to say the phone you're reading this from wasn't made by anyone, that it just sprout into existence from nowhere. We equally cannot say that the house we're living in wasn't built that it just spring into existence.

If you take the thoughts further, the concept of Quran and Bible as being scriptural will become clearer too. Every product should have a manual/job card. That's a concept God himself has put in place for all to follow and that's why every or most human inventions take this order too. For every invention, there's a users guide.

However, how come the existence of God is so questionable from a constructive perspective? I think this is down to our limitations as humans and not God's own flaws because he's the height of perfection. I say this because our knowledge of what is right or wrong was engineered by him... So how do you measure up when the One who wired and engineered our thinking faculty clouded it with his magnanimity and superiority over us. We can only imagine how big he is or how we perceived his supposed 'flaws' but those imaginations can only be within the scope and limit he has permitted us.

This is the Command "All Satans and Satanses, past, present and future come out, have your fun to your fill".

A Just Judge will never send a suspect to prison or proclaim execution until the suspect has been tried, trialed and found guilty as charged.
Until Judgment is passed on Satan, a just God should not just execute him or send him to eternal prison.
Ask other bugging questions by God's grace and revelation you will receive satisfactory answers.

There is nothing like future (I.e. An absolute account of what will happen in the future).
Contrary to popular belief, Lucifer's fall was undefined. Do you know what that means? God never foreknew Lucifer's fall before he created him

Sweetheart, God didn't foreknow that Lucifer will fall

God Will not just Kill Lucifer. He himself (I mean God) claimed he was and still is "Just". Should a just Judge/God execute a spirit without a fair and proper judgment? No! That is why we have a"judgement day"..
Until that day, Satan lives on.

Most people just want to say what they have in mind, then start seeking approval from others!
That's exactly the same thing you're doing right now!
If you can't grasp the concept why not ask those who truthfully believe (trust) in it?

Well, i believe you want to use your brains to know why this should be so.
My name is Maximus69, i'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses, if you care to know why it's the most intelligent thing to do, you can just signal by responding "YES" to this post.

The Bible is a book and just like every other book it comes with theories that needed to be applied practically before you can get the desired results.

So let's do the workings together, i'm sure you'll decipher this yourself!

Please if you're the King of a city who wants all his subjects to respect him as a man of integrity, then a rebel from the Northern part of your kingdom travelled South to initiate some Southerners.
Note that a rebel is challenging your right to rule, but as an integrity keeper you want to prove before all your loyal subjects that your rulership is the best.

So as a just King, will you immediately order for their extermination or give these rebels a fair trial in the presence of all your subjects both in the North (heavens) and in the South (earth)?

The issues Satan raised during the conversation with Eve required that time must be allowed for the issues to be addressed comprehensively.
Genesis2:15-17 , Yahweh gave instructions to Adam. Gen 2:15-17 is the symbol of Yahweh's authority/sovereignty over mankind.
Genesis3:1-5, Satan circumvented Yahweh's instructions to Adam, he accused Yahweh of hiding stuff/lying toAdam and Eve.
That is, Satan challenged Yahweh's sovereignty.
For instance, if someone accused Sermwell of murder and dishonesty.
If Sermwell shot the accuser dead, would that disprove the allegations laid against Sermwell?
Will everyone present not raise suspicions that you have something to hide?
In other words,if Yahweh executed Satan, will it DISPROVE Satan's claim in Gen 3:1-5?

If Yahweh executed Satan, Will the angels present not raise suspicions& believe that Satan had legitimate claims?

Fair trial means to hear your own side of the story or wait for sufficient evidence to establish your guilt! You mean there are no sufficient evidence to establish the devil's guilt? Which other evidence do you need to establish that the devil is who he is??

Why are you mentioning me, but then you go back to editing your post and also removing the mention and comment you made relating to it, hmm?

Everyone is in a queue, I respond to posts/comments when they get at front. It doesnt mean, I won't be responding or I am ignoring, it's just that, I most times, am doing catching up or letting some jump the queue.

Fyi, if you had during our chatroom interaction session, given me a detailed explanation how God Harden Pharaoh's heart, you wouldn't be contesting with ggirl4real, that God never knew that the devil will betray Him, yet He created the devil and included him In His cabinet. You see your life now, hmm?

I have never stopped, saying that, every creativity/creation, has a fundamental right to come into existence, and not just that, but exist to freely express itself/himself/herself. The devil, Pharaoh, Hitler, Genghis Khan, Constantine, Abacha, IBB et cetera each and all have the right to exist and express themselves according to how their nature dictates or allows them

God, the Omni-Know-Everything, Omni-Know-All, Omni-Know-What's-In-Your-Heart, Omni-Know-All-Moves, was aware, knew before the day it will happen that the devil will misbehave, just the same way, He knew Pharaoh would go bad, even arrogate himself to be god, a deity.
