My Father the Person I Admire the Most
My journey to truth

There is a common fallacy in the world about the relationship between God and Satan. We have been taught that Satan opposes God out of hate. Satan doesn’t hate God. No where in the scriptures do you find this. The truth is that God and Satan are closer than we may imagine. Just like two enemies who are on opposing sides but yet they respect and know each other more than anyone else. God and Satan actually have very similar intentions for the universe but where they differ is where they oppose. Satan is an enlightened being who understands love and hate. Love is the frequency of consciousness that unites, heals and brings wholeness. Hate is the frequency of consciousness that separates, hurts and brings disintegration. Satan knows that love creates conditions of harmony, peace and happiness but hate creates conditions of chaos, death and suffering. An enlightened being knows that God is love. Satan loves God, but his original love has been twisted because his perspective was corrupted. God doesn’t hate Satan. God hates sin but he doesn’t hate the sinner. God loves his first creature that he created. Lucifer was the prime angel whose beauty was perfect and wisdom was so full. Although Lucifer turned against God later, God still loved him. God being a holy God has no choice but to cast Lucifer into the lake of fire, because God and sin cannot coexist. God would have made a way for Lucifer to be spared but he knew that Lucifer would never change his mind until the very end of time. Satan was God’s best friend. Christ and Lucifer were in perfect harmony in the beginning. They enjoyed the closest fellowship and communion with each other. They co-ruled heaven together. Lucifer was God’s second in command until the time came where he questioned God’s sovereignty over all beings. He felt that Christ and himself should be equal because all beings are God. He questioned the hierarchy of the Elohim and decided to change it because he thought

    Satan, and bound him a thousand years, (3) and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him...” (Revelations 20:2-3) Satan is a created being, an archangel (a higher angel) to be more specific. He was created in a state of perfection as seen in Ezekiel 28:15, “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” Dualism teaches that these two opposing forces, God and Satan, have equal power in their…

    Satan places his pride first and resists obedience to God, thereby taking the alternative that is also available to human beings. But by persisting in his perversion of free will, Satan's sin expands and develops consequences for the human race. His resistance amounts to a claim of autonomy--total self-creation--which, as Milton's readers…

    The bible tells the tale of the Devil as being an Angel that went his separate way and was exiled by God for his immorality. He is characterized as a supernatural being able to take any shape or form. He has strong powers of deception and uses them to tempt his victims. He is a sinful creature who longs for lust and will steal, kill, and destroy for pride. He is the fountain of evil and the source of all sins.…

    I recently read a newspaper article about “Job” the news article was about good and evil of man. The author Salley Vickers(2010) stated that the Bible “combines lyrical beauty with a modern nihilism.” In the story of Job, there is conversation going on between the Lord and Satan. The Lord asks Satan where he was going and he says to and fore seeing who I can devour. The Lord asks Satan had he consider his servant Job. Job was a good man never did anything evil. Satan told the Lord if he would take the fence from around him that he could make him sin. The Lord agreed to take the protection form around Job. Job suffers a great many mishaps he loses his wealth, children all die and body become cover in sores. His friends accuse Job of sinning because he was in God favor and now is suffering. The irony of this story is that Job never sin and he was a good man. I would say that the good that Job receives was through the Lord which reflected on to him making him a good person through God giving. But the evil that was reflected on him was by Satan. Sometimes I think that people are either good or evil it is the circumstances surrounding them in which they can appear good or…

    The similarities begin with their journey to their present condition: both are tempted by a forbidden fruit, attempt to become god, experience a fall from grace, and are swallowed by the darkness. Originally called Lucifer, Satan is the rogue angel damned to suffer for his sins against God. His forbidden fruit is the temptation of being as omnipotent and omniscient as God and…

    Victor does reject the Monster but that is not all. Society as a whole rejects the Monster. Satan’s motivations are envy and revenge, because he was created by God and then was left for focus on Adam. Victor and Satan both feel irrefutable solitariness throughout each piece of writing. In Frankenstien Victor creates the creature and this leads to a life of loneliness and isolation. Victor despised his own creation because of its ugliness, “I exclaimed in agony. `Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even YOU turned from me in disgust?” Chpt 15 pg119 When the creature found out about his creator he hoped to befriend him, but when he visits Victor the creature then vows to destroy his happiness.

    so merciful, why do people have to fear him? Are we to believe there is nowhere we can turn to escape fear? If you have to fear God, why not be "Satan fearing" and at least have the fun that being God fearing denies you?” (45) This novel excerpt from The Satanic Bible plays around with the term “god fearing” and, in a way, mocks some of the church’s teachings. Most of us grow up believing that the cosmic battle between God and the devil is representative of good and evil, god being good and the devil being evil. However, this is can bring about some confusion when you look at the…

    Satan or the devil a high angelic creature who before the creation of the human race rebelled against the creator and became the chief antagonist of God and man. That statement alone shows that God didn’t create evil. Satan made a choice to rebel against God and do his own thing which caused other angels to follow him. Satan caused the fall of the human race as the “serpent”. What are Satan’s limitations? He is only a creature limited and permitted to have power by divine omnipotence and omniscience. He works in tempting and accusing men, ousted from the heavenlies and is to…

    Lucifer had now become “the adversary of God.” Even with the threat of recourse Lucifer and his followers moved onward in an attempt to reap control. Again we see the use of today’s political tactics. Lucifer twisted and skillfully used Gods words and actions against him; he made false promises to improve life for all equally. God was between a rock and a hard place. If he wiped out Lucifer he would appear evil and unforgiving and if he did nothing he would be considered weak. Either outcome might have an affect on the free will of those who worshiped…

    Hatred

    It is popularly assumed that one can’t “hate” and “love” the same person at the same time. But Psalm 139 says there is a kind of “perfect hatred” which is consistent with love, and is different from the “cruel hatred” shown by God’s enemies. The Hebrew word describing David’s “perfect hatred” means that it “brings a process to completion”. In other words, goal oriented opposition. The ultimate opposition to those who oppose God would be to get them to love God. Or, failing that, to at least stop them from destroying others. The New Testament describes a similar, if not the same, process: “to deliver...unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved....”…
