Re: ukit
Satan was Lucifer who at one time was one of the most glorious angels created, but he wanted God's position (or something like that - I would have to study it out to give you an accurate summary) and was cast out heaven along with a third of the angles (the ones that satan convinced to side with him). I guess that is the risk of giving free will to God's creation.
God created mankind with free will because he wanted to be in relationship with beings that wanted to be in relationship with Him. God blessed mankind with dominion over the earth but mankind was deceived out of it by satan... bummer for us...
God made a way so that no human should ever have eternal separation from Him but have life abundantly (I think you know who I am getting at ;)).
I never really struggled with the ideas that you are voicing (although I am sure a lot of people do), the thing I had to settle in my heart was whether I believe that Christ died and was raised again so that I could be saved and adopted into the family.
Mankind was never meant for hell, it is for the fallen angels
- angles = angelsjedipunk
- God, Lucifer, Angels... stories of this kind are make belief. Just like the Greek mythsbliznutty
- And you say this based on what grounds...? You lack physical evidence, and thus call it a fairy tale.gramme
- Lack of physical evidence in the here/now does not = fairy tale.gramme
- no but the dubious circumstances in which these stories were fabricated tends to make it a little bit, let's say unbelievablespifflink
