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

    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…

    I do believe that though Satan does not have the ability to control our every thought and action we are vulnerable to let him in when we let sin hold a significant control over our lives. As a recovering addict I can attest to just how much Satan is able to enter your life when you let something as strong as sin take over your very thoughts and actions. Satan uses these things to make us feel worthless and lie to us by telling us we can never recover and God is angry with us for our actions. I felt as though I was unworthy of God’s love because I struggled so much with my addiction and put God as a last priority to my addiction. You will find in your recovery just how wrong Satan was though, and you see how God was there all along trying to bring you closer to him with your every…

    His desire to be as God is what caused him to be kicked out of Heaven. Though Satan has failed in his efforts to be like God, and though he knows he will never win against God, he still tries. You can look all around the world today and see evidence of Satan’s imitations. Men have allowed themselves to be open to such duplications that they no longer see them as Satanic or evil, but as a religion of their own. In Satan’s quest to be like God he has influenced men to the point that they have constructed their own church for him and mocked the Christian bible with their very own Satanic…

    While Satan’s humane emotions were demonstrated earlier in the narrative, his soliloquy further explicates the complexity of his thoughts. Throughout the first few books, Satan does not demonstrate any vulnerabilities. He is glorified as an obstinate and prideful Spirit who surpasses all others in Hell and who knows exactly what he yearns. Though Satan’s abilities are of no question, this one-sided view of Satan – that he is a competent and powerful devil – appears lacking; therefore, the demonstration of Satan’s vulnerability in his soliloquy is a progression in his character development. Satan finally senses “horror and doubt,” and is drenched in grief by his “remembrance from what state [he] fell” (4:17, 38-39). This is the first time Satan is described to have self-doubt, and specifically, in…

    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.…

    Short Essay on Angelology and Satanology This truth must first be established, Satan and God are not equal. God is omniscience, omnipresent, and omnipotent; Satan is not. The Bible is very clear that Satan is a created being, by God the creator. In the book of Ezekiel 28:15, Satan is described as a lesser being, “from the day that thou wast created,” showing his inequality with God. Religious Dualism is defined as, “two mutually hostile forces or beings in the world, the one being the source of all good, the other the source of all evil” (Elwell, 2001, p. 357). In more moderate circles it is referred to as “light and darkness”, or in the vein of Chinese thought, “yin and yang.” These all ascribe to the concept that, “the universe becomes the battleground for these two opposing forces” (Elwell, 2001, p. 357). This system of belief has no support or basis for its claims. The Bible, as our final authority on all things pertaining to God and Satan, shows us a very different view. Let’s address the claim that God and Satan are equals for a moment. Revelation 20:10 states that Satan will be judged by God, “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” To add more clarity, we see what God does to Satan during the judgment, “And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and…

    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…

    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…

    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.

    Even when we do make mistakes, he wants us to take responsibility for sinful actions we do. On the other hand, the devil wants us to do the complete opposite. He wants to not come together as one, but stray away from the Christians and be divided from them Although, he wants us to fit in with everything bad going on in the world. He wants us to think that if everyone else is doing it it must be good, right? Instead of taking responsibility for our actions, he wants us to blame it on others.…

    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....”…
