Why God Created Lucifer. Part [7] 05/04/2024 (Evening thought)

Psalms 139: 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well. 15 My substance was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

We must remember in God’s decision-making about whether to move forward with the plans to create intelligent life with the freedom of choice, He also saw in advance that most of the angels would have chosen good. And since this would be the case, then the issue to be resolved was: will the pros outweigh the cons? Therefore, before we move forward, let us clearly delineate the pros and the cons, as far as God has revealed.

The Pros: [1] Intelligence with the freedom of choice is a good thing, for one can build sterling character through the medium of choice. With intelligence, persons can appreciate, decide, love, sympathize, understand, and thus, can make meaningful contributions to the universe and world in general. With intelligence and freedom of choice, persons can also invent, which is how we came up with artificial intelligence, that folks are now singing the praises of.

It was God-given intelligence and freedom of choice that made A.I possible, and thus, even though there are known risks, intelligence and freedom of choice are good things, in and of themselves. What we use them for is what makes all of the difference, but the capabilities, in and of themselves, are all inherently good.

Genesis 11: 4 And they said, go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

Why God Created Lucifer. Part [6] 05/03/2024 (Morning thought)

Genesis 8: 21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth.

Again, parents know that there are definite risks to having children. Like God, parents do know up front, not merely that it is a possibility that they would do evil; we know for sure that they will do evil, and yet, we go ahead and have children. At least with God, He knew in advance that most of the angels would choose to do good but in our own sphere we know for sure that the kids would do evil. And if you don’t know, now you do.

Romans 3: 9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one. 11 There is none that understands, there is none that seek after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips. 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

Why is it then, that we still go ahead and have kids, when we know for sure that they will do evil, not as a mere possibility, but definitely? This raises further questions that must now be addressed: Is it a good thing to have kids, even though we know in advance that they will do evil? And if we answer yes, do the pros outweigh the cons?

Psalms 14: 2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
