question

Blog Posted by Nathan D.: 2/16/2015 4:04:00 AM

As I sit here pondering god. Trying to decipher all the pieces and connect all the dots. I am drawn repeatidly to the story of an angel that rebelled, disobeyed,
and started a war in in heaven. I am not well versed in the bibled and if I am wrong please correct me but to the best of my knowladge this is the first act of such
a kind. I am currently stuck between the thought that it was an act of insanity or an act of evil. This is god we are talking about, I dont at this time have any
other logical explaination for something like this to occur. If anyone has any other thoguhts or explainations I would appreciate the input, really any input at all and
if anyone knows of any official church stance on the matter I would appreciate that too.

I might not be able to go through details though this ' war' is basically between the good and bad side of man... it boils down to this, Nathan.

Faith is the definition that carries you to understand. You could possibly spend your entire life thinking, pondering, trying to understand or you could just believe. It is Good vs. Evil or Help vs. Hurt The war is within you to fight and determine the outcome of your being. Believing that God is there for you is having Faith

Nathan, sometimes we overthink a situation or idea..Sometimes in simplicity is the answer..Above all is the fact that God loves us..I don't know why He did this or that but above all He loves us and wants to best for his creation..He did give a free will to man and to the angels..They and we choose which way we want to go..Sara

Nathan, a few more you may want to check out: Dr Ravi Zacharias; and though I am not a Calvinist, I would suggest: Paul Washer, John Macarthur and Dr William Lane Craig.

Nathan, I think this was all in Gods plan, he had to create good and evil, so we would have to decide the path of our life, yes he did cast Lucifer out of heaven into eternal hell, and Lucifer will always try to lure the weak , not that I am a big religious person, I just believe there is a God~~

yes I believe it is god plan and like anything else you can use the knowledge you have to decipher knowledge that isn't there. for example if it was an evil act to create good and evil and Lucifer is there to tempt us we can us that information to gleam more about god himself. we can say he is thinning the herd, getting rid of the weak so he only has the strong. then we ask why does he need or want only strong souls. so we create theories for example maybe heaven is all bliss maybe in the after life there is more and harder work to do. maybe he is very harsh and wants only to be surrounded by the most perfect beings but that wouldn't make sense since Lucifer was suppose to be almost perfect himself and god cast him out. maybe its all a trick and god wants to keep the weak ones to worship him and get rid of the ones that are to strong. and each of those theories will lead to more and those will lead more ect....

Yes, Lucifer did rebel against God..I don't think there was a war just that Satan lead some of the angels astray as well..They were cast out of heaven..That is the angels..Satan still goes from heaven to earth(my understanding)..We can't understand God and His ways because we are not capable of that..I don't know why God just didn't chain Lucifer in hell immediately but I am not God.Or even just not have made him in the first place but I am not God..I do know every good and perfect gift is from above and if it isn't good and perfect well it did not come from God..Sara

well I think it may eventually be possible to understand certain aspects of god. not trying to be prideful I just think with the great minds of humanity now or in the future working on it from a purely analytical perspective we could at least come up with some good theories. thanks for the thoughts

Nathan, I think it may have been both, insane and evil. I remember something in the Bible about Lucifer wanted to be 'like the most high' something like that, something related to Pride. I am no scholar, but I am a believer. I also remember reading somewhere (don't think it was in the Bible) about how Angels are the sons of light, while we are the sons of clay. God wanted the angels to bow down to us, and Satan stated 'Why would a being of light bow to one of clay?' This of course, enraged God and this may also explain how Lucifer was able to convince a third of Heaven's angels to join him. This may also be connected with the possibility of the saved one day ruling over the angels.

yes it could have been both. when I think of that possibility I wonder if evil is a form of insanity. so many questions so many things to sort through. interesting what you said about beings of light and clay. ill have to look it up. thanks for the input

Shows we are all human even the gods,,,or is it 'in my image i make you the human race'? Interesting Question Nathan one i ponder on often,,especially when acts of all kinds today are in the name of God,,even those that start new religions, i believe! it usually starts with, then you will obey and on it goes,,,all about power over others really,,,but then that goes on to lead to another aspect..there are so many sheep on this planet that need the ram,,no wonder we create despots, religion, sects, societies.
