Bible Question: Why is the thread associated with ID# 127074 restricted? |
Bible Answer: The post 127074 was restricted by the Lockman Foundation of the Forum because they are dedicated to God's Word and Its rightful claim to being the absolute Truth. It is a basic self-evident contradiction of His Word to think that God could have created evil and is thus banned as soon as the Foundation know of its existance. I'm not an expert on the subject but in the Gospel of John, Chapter 1, we see that EVERYTHING in the universe, even the physical and spiritual was created by God. In Genesis, we're told that everything God created was good. BUT that's not to say that everything stayed that way. We see the Fall of Mankind and the spoiling of the world by the introduction of sin. This sin was introduced by Satan. So our conclusion is that although Satan was an angel created by God, apparently he turned bad and was sentenced to Hell by God as referenced above. So even the angels are given their freedom to choose whom to serve: God or their own ungodly way. Hope this helps and blessings to you. Country Girl |
