Bible Note: "His Word does not prove" my point, dear Jensen, Because you have missed my point. The point was NOT to prove that God created Satan evil, my friend. What was at issue, as clearly stated at the beginning of the thread, is “how would it be contrary to the goodness of God for God to have created Satan evil.” For me it was sufficient to show that it isn’t contrary to the absolute goodness of God. So the cosmic fairy tale made up about the fall of Satan on the basis of the Ezk and Isa passages do not apply to the issues of this discussion. (See my response to CDBJ above.) Again, thank you for an enjoyable exchange over God’s precious Word. Peace, Lionstrong |
