Subject: The Fall of Satan |
Bible Note: You said: “I think you may have made the same mistake I did, which is to assume that the fall of Satan was a physical fall from heaven, but I am now learning that the doctrine of this forum is actually that of metaphorical fall from a state of perfection/grace.” I actually believe it was both a physical fall and a fall from grace. I believe the physical part of the fall was more of a getting kicked out of heaven fall. Maybe I just misunderstood what you’re saying. Ocelot |
