Subject: Why does Satan believe he can win? |
Bible Note: It is in the Bible that God created "Satan", His (it has no gender but for understanding I will use this pronoun) name originally is Lucifer. Eph 3:9, Col 1:16, and Rev 4:11. He was the leader of the Heavenly Chior, the most Beatiful of all the angels. He was thrown down, away and out of God's Holy presence because He wanted to be God. Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. As you've read Lucifer was created Holy, perfect, as are all God's Creations, but he had to go muddle (jack) things up by trying to be God, in short he sinned. nothing unholy/unperfect is to be in God's presence, so he got thrown away. He made the decision to messup, making him unperfect. hope this helps, john. |
