John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
It was a conscious choice to spread misinformation in heaven, which resulted in him becoming the father of lies. It is stated that if a lie is repeated long, and often enough, the time will come when even intelligent beings could end up believing it, thus, by so doing, one third of the intelligences in heaven, who fell for satan’s errors, eventually did irreversible damage to their own minds as they became deeply entrenched in a vortex of lies, and misinformation.
The root of all sins is covetousness, which, once it is harbored, indulged and cultivated, will spawn every other known sin, including all habitual lying. Thus, it was, that lucifer coveted the position of The Son of God in heaven, and this morphed into every other evil trait, which then drove him to say things that he knew were unfounded. As we study the history of all misinformation, as it began in heaven, we will observe that lucifer craved praise, which belongs to God alone.
And whenever any created being, whether angel or men, are known to deal in misinformation, lies and conspiracy theories, you’ll also observe a profound craving for praise, side by side with misinformation. The two elements are actually two peas in a pod, for wherever coveting of praise abounds in any person, conspiracy theories and misinformation would also abound, for one element feeds off of the other, and vice versa, to produce a never-ending cycle.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
