Did God Create Satan?

Or should I say, the being that later became Satan? Did God know what he would do when He created him?

Did God have a choice on whether or not to create him?

Re: To war or not to war

A stray or accurate bullet killing you is not God's doing it is the fella (free will) on the opposite side aiming at you. Stonewall Jackson might have felt differently, especially when the cannonball went between his legs in the Mexican War :lol: He talked to his men like their fate was in God's ha...

To war or not to war

Suppose you are trying to decide if you will fight in a war, and even which side you will fight on? You believe God would decide when and if you are to killed or maimed and you have nothing to do with it, so relax and enjoy it. Do you think that you would be able to decide whether or not to fight? I...

Re: Are My Actions Determined?

I just go with the Buddhist Zen philosophy of being content with never understanding. It's the same as the chicken or the egg argument. Which is it? Who knows? Only one Being does, but he won't tell ;) The egg is first, its parents were not quite chickens yet. In other words, it's sort of like that...

Re: Are My Actions Determined?

Just another question, related to my one about whether I should do as I please . This one is obviously important as to whether I can in fact do as I please, or whether my actions are already decided for me as part of some biochemical event. We often hear positions of those who believe in God, you k...

Re: Trump and the Anti-Christ

Yeah, this is why I don't prefer mixing politics with Christianity. Not that politics could be corrupted by Christianity: quite the other way around. Do we want to sully God by pulling His name through the most despicable profession in modern times? I don't think so. What do you think would happen ...

Re: Trump and the Anti-Christ

It just seems to me that many here do just turn a blind eye to one person, merely based upon their political affiliations, that's one thing that really drives me. I wish I knew more "appropriate" places to "stir up my political crap" than here but the old fashioned newsgroup, or ...

Fellow Christians, does the pussy grabbing http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-ivanka-trump-comments_us_57f250d5e4b082aad9bbf2d7 seem to you like a Christlike figure, or do you not remember about what the Bible, your pastors, and other teachers told you about signs leading up to the apo...

Re: Dash cam experience

I'm looking to purchase a dash cam for my son. Does anyone here have experience with them? I'm looking for iPhone compatibility, as well as high heat tolerance, because I live in Florida. I seem to have narrowed it down to a Thinkware F770. Anyone have any thoughts, good or bad? You and I have tang...

Re: A CONSERVATIVE Writer's Sober Look at Trump

I think this is a fair and accurate analysis of the current state of the Trump presidency: https://www.wsj.com/articles/democracy-is-not-your-plaything-1495149082 The only people playing with Democracy is the deep state establishment as they are proving that they do not care about election results ...

Re: Something might smash Earth to bits

NO need to worry about large space rocks. As if THAT is how God winds things down - well, it will be unavoidable. It won't end but in the way He orchestrates and desires - it won't be an accident, to GOD. However, we're left this interesting passage from Genesis 8: "... I will never again dest...

Re: Something might smash Earth to bits

Ultimate: Ok. So what if something really big is we find is due to collide with Earth in 20 years, should we try to stop it, or what? Of course. We may well not know if God will help us destroy it or not. He allows things to happen. He also allows us to try to stop them. We don't typically know wha...
