And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, "Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" [Rev 12:9-11] |
Subject: Who created evil? |
Bible Note: I must be the only idiot Christian in the family of God to stand up for Lucifer, but you're being unfair to him and biblical principles. It is a biblical principle that we will suffer the consequences of our decision. John 3:16-18 verifies that fact. Lucifer wasn't created to be the devil, he was created to be an Angel of Light. Simply put, Mr. I'm going to take over Heaven, made a very bad decision, refused to repent of it, which landed him in the position he's in. God knew he'd make that decision, but I don't think that God created him that way. That in itself would violate our Freedome of Choice |
