Lucifer's fall from grace

Veronyka · #1 2004-02-01, 09:06

As I thumbed through the threads, someone made a very valid point on Angels. He said that angels have NO free will. Humans were the only beings created in "God's image" and thus, were granted free will. What I want to know is, how was Lucifer able to defy god, create his own kingdom in heaven and pursuay thousands of angels to be in league with him? How can this be possible if free will is something angels are not supposed to have?

*I don't take the bible literally nor do I belive in it. I just want the opinion of people who do. Or at least some intelligent replies from those that know the story of Lucifer.*

Perhaps the people who wrote the Bible were drunk at the time? It's my firm belief that they were.

This has got to be the dumbest contradiction in the book. It just doesn't make sense! But then again, what part of the bible does??

What youve read in the bible isnt true...

Me and God are the best of friends...

We play ping pong and watch football all day...

He just got pissed because i beat him so many times that he started all these rumors about me...

The story about Lucifer being cast from heaven isn't even in the Bible.

It's not? Well, this is what everyone's being taught in Sunday school! Well, where the hell did they get it from then?

It's just another contradiction...don't look into it too much. But it is interesting to think about...

Whenever something unexplained happens in the bible, there's a simple solution: A wizard did it.

To my knowledge, only the torah really goes in deep about the fall of lucifer. The bible really never says that much, it doesn't even mention adams first wife
