Hello Banjo Man The answer depends on one's view of the order of creation and Satan's fall. Some would say that Satan's revolt occurred before creation because of the language used in Gen 1:1-2 and Is 45:18. I would say that Satan fell after creation because of Ezek 28:13 which shows him in Eden as beautiful before sin was found in him. Steve |

a common mistake by people is to forget the book of job...who wrote the book of job?...moses right....although this book is arranged in the bible after many other of moses's writings...look at when it was written....now read Job 1:6....and 2:1 and so on...now this gives you a pretty good idea of satan's activity....looking to devour somebody.....read 1 peter 5:8...now to "agree" with steve....read revelations 12:9...it say's that old serpent...which decieved eve..was cast out....when?at the beginning of creation....now read this mystery revealed by holy spirit...do you believe god created everything...angels..men...animals...planets...even satan?...now read romans 8:20-21....did you read that....the creature was made subject to vanity...what do people look into to see if they are beautiful? a vanity or mirror right!....what what did satan do?..now steve brought this out in Ezekiel.28:17...satan and his beauty...wow!...but remember romans 8:20-21.....he was made subject to vanity,not "willingly"....but by reason!...so now here comes satan in incarnated man...decieves eve in the garden of eden...described as a serpent....later he enters cain and kills his brother abel....read John 8:44.....a murderer from the beginning.....also read Isaiah 45:7..he created woe....all according to the divine pattern..everything goes according to the divine pattern... | ||||||

Actually, no one really knows who wrote Job. It's unlikely that it was written by Moses because it is dated to have been written during the Time between Noah and Abraham. The author is possibly Job himself. Jesusman |

prior to the monarchy everything was oral it was called the oral tradition. during Moses' time there was not writings. everything was repeated orally, IT WAS DURING time of David AND Solomon WHEN the writers begin to write. it is important that you study the writers and get a full understanding. go into your search engines look up the YAHWIST WRITERS, THE ELOHIST ALSO KNOWN AS THE J SOURCE, THE DEUTERONOMIST, DEUTERONOMIST HISTORY, THE PRIESTLY SOURCE, WHICH WERE THE WRITERS OF LEVITICUS FOR EXAMPLE. SOME OF THESE WRITERS WERE FROM THE NORTHERN KINGDOM AND SOME FROM THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM WHO WEAVED ALL OF THIS INFORMATION TOGETHER SOMETIME AFTER THE START OF THE DAVIDIC AND/OR SOLOMON'S MONARCHY. MOSES NEVER WROTE ANYTHING BUT THE SECOND SET OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE HE BROKE THE FIRST SET. | ||||||

Exodus 17: 14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. Exodus 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. 17:14. "The reference to 'Write . . . in a book' is the first mention of writing as related to Scripture and official Hebrew records. ... Moses evidently kept a diary of Israel's journey through the wilderness as implied in Numbers 33:2. Certainly this is contrary to the earlier liberal view that Moses could not have written and did not." (The King James Study Bible, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1988) |

Moses did not write what we have in our hands as scripture. study both sides of the coin and study the writers you don't have to agree and it won't kill you to know more. the Yahwist, the Elohist, the priestly and the Deutoronomical. Remember the bible have been rewritten and rewritten and none of us have the original manuscripts. I live by the word of God and I do not doubt it regardless of who did or did not write it its word is true. To answer your original question. Yes Satan was on the earth before Adam. The earth was originally made for Lucifer to rule but he just went to far. Just like Hell was not made for mankind only for Satan and his angels. But we will end up there if we go too far and not ask God's foregiveness or think we can live without God. | ||||||

Just out of curiosity, have you ever examined the arguments against the higher criticism and textual criticism that you are supporting on this forum? By that I mean works such as Josh McDowell's _More Evidence that Demands a Verdict_. If so, what do you think of it? The main concern I have with your position is that the scholarship you are referring to exists for the sole purpose of pointing out that the Bible is a product of human hands alone, that they are NOT the words of God. If the Bible has been written and re-written (and by that I assume that you also mean "edited" by human beings over and over again), how can you say that they are indeed the words of God? --Joe! |

The bible has been written and rewritten we see that today with the differen versions, KJV is my pick because I feel it is the most accurate. As I said prior the bible is the word of God and is God breathed. the scripture has proven to be accurate in my life and if there are any errors in scripture they are so very minute that it dosen't matter. I don't know where you live but I live on the East Coast and am about to go to bed. If you have anymore questions or responses please post them but I will answer them on tomorrow evening. I have not read Josh McDowell. I have studied Gottwald. | ||||||

The KJV is not a REWRITE of the Bible, but rather a translation of the Bible from manuscripts in the original languages. The most accurate versions would be in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek, not in English or any other modern language. I would recommend the McDowell book, because it is always helpful to look at scholarly work that presents the opposite view of the one which one holds. I know that you said that the Bible is the word of God, but then you say that specific books of the Bible are edits and re-edits and compilations and the efforts of men who lived centuries apart. This is why all of the JEDP "scholars" say that the Bible is NOT the word of God. You claim that Scripture has been proven to be accurate "in your life." Does that mean that if the Qu'ran proved to be accurate in your life (as Muslims claim that it is accurate in theirs), that it would suddenly be the word of God? Either the Bible is what it claims to be or it is not the word of God. Those two points of view are not able to be logically reconciled. --Joe! |

i appreciate your advice and will look into some of Josh McDowells books. I have and will never say that the bible is not the word of God. Since manuscripts have been written and rewrriten the contents are accurate or close to accurate as possible. The Quran denies the deity of Jesus Christ that alone is enough for me. Any teaching that denies Jesus Christ as the son of God is inaccurate in itself. I do not following behind every whim and doctrine. Using Islam and/or the Quran was a poor choice. Mohammad first practice judaism and got mad with the jews and started his own religion. God gives all of us that are in Christ Jesus wisdom and discernment if we ask. | ||||||
