Joseph wrote: Church and Bible teaching says that angels have free will and that Satan was once Luficer, an angel of light - also in charge of music in heaven. He was God's "second in command", but he became proud and thought he was as good as God thinking, "why should I not be worshipped as God is worshipped?". So, there was a battle in heaven, and lucifer lost, taking a third of the angels from heaven with him, who became demons.
Joseph, If this is true, how do we humans stand a chance? We are such an arrogant lot. Even if we do all that is ask of us here on earth once we go to heaven we still take with us pride, we still could be kicked out of heaven, still be tempted by Satan? They were angles, they knew God, and still turned against him. This above all else makes no sense to me. If we (humans) knew for a fact, not on faith, that God was real, if we could see him, talk with him, how very different our lives, and world would be. But then you are saying it wouldn't be any different. That people would still rise up against him. One more thing, if today Satan ask God to forgive him could he get back into heaven? What would become of Hell? Maybe we should ALL pray for Satan to accept the love and forgiveness of God. If that happens then hell would be gone, blame for our actions would be on us instead of this insane chess match between God, and Satan for our souls. Maybe we would have global peace.
