Is there evil in Heaven? If so can Heaven really be perfect?

Which doesn't answer my question.

Why would humans be created from Satan information?

In Tanakh Satan is just a servant of YHVH. The evil idea is brought in later.

*

All visible human beings were formed in the minds of men from the processing of information called Satan.

The Beast is the information that forms in the minds of men such as visible images, words, etc. to build false gods with their human hands.

Christ is the eternal information that will replace Satan and the Beast after the day of the Lord.

I find Revelation 12:12 connects to the reason why we have the ' woe ' that we see on Earth today.
Agree, an end-time prophecy, as connected to 2 Timothy 3:1-5,13 describing these last days of badness on Earth.
All of Revelation is Not written in chronological order. After the time of Revelation 19:11; 14-16 is when Jesus' coming millennium-long day of governing over Earth begins when the dead will be resurrected.
That is why Acts of the Apostles 24:15 uses the ' future tense ' that there ' is going to be ' a resurrection.....

Christians were never meant to be used to interpret the prophecies. That's why they're all very confused and anxious.

Lucifer was second only to God. He was created supremely, perfect in wisdom, and knowledge. God never fathomed evil and it none ever existed before. Than Lucifer wanted to be God, and sought to destroy God, and rule over all of heaven. God casted him out of heaven; known as the expulsion. Lucifer was made to reflect God's glory.

psalms says that all mankind is born from sin.
in Christianity believers are to be redeemed from sin and given a new nature by faith in Jesus. So free will is given every man to choose between good and evil.

all mankind deserves hell, but God rather chose to forgive mankind, and thus took our place at the cross, defeating death and damnation for mankind. He bore our punishmemt.
The victory of Jesus is solely the salvation of mankind through the acceptance of God's own Holy Spirit.

it is said that by the power of God's faith, that mankind is changed not of themselves , but by of a choice to accept God's faith. faith in Jesus.

it's a very interesting story the way it is meant. God calls the human body vile and filthy.

so instead of creating from the outside in, as with Lucifer. God creates a new creature from the inside out. born sinners born into the curse of Adam, born into death, can receive transformation into a new nature of life, by the victory of Jesus at Calvary.

because with God, it is the heart that matters, and all else is details.

it's an awesome story. as a teenager I used to believe it. but the old testament stories were too fantastical for me to accept it literally. but as a symbolic story that teaches a lesson, it was quite interesting.
the question arises, why didn't God know about evil before it happened? ; God had to adjust to evil in heaven, and then make a plan to defeat it.

I find at both Matthew 24 and Luke 21 there is both a minor and a MAJOR fullfillment about 'last days '.
In the year 70 the 'minor' fulfillment came when the Roman armies destroyed un-faithful Jerusalem.
The MAJOR fulfillment is set for our day meaning the now time frame of Revelation 1:10.
Wrong guesses simply do Not make the Bible as wrong, but just makes the wrong guesses as wrong.
Spiritual light grows brighter and lighter with the passing of time as per Proverbs 4:18; Daniel 12:4; Daniel 12:9.
Full spiritual daylight, so to speak, is now because now we are finally seeing the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14 about the good news message about God's kingdom (Daniel 2:44) is Now proclaimed on a vast international scale as never before in history.
Modern technology has made possible rapid Bible translation so that now people even in remote areas of Earth can have Scripture in their own mother tongue or native languages. So, we are truly in the last days of badness on Earth before Jesus, as Prince of Peace, will usher in global Peace on Earth among people of goodwill.

Well --- That's your idea anyway.

You don't belong to any of the religions of Abraham? Maybe right now you don't, at least, not until you find where you left your golden calf statue.

My rant says nothing? Your rant says nothing.

My religion was given by a man that debunked spiritualists? Better that than an ignorant primitive who preached that people should stone to death their own people because they searched for a lost goat on the sabbath.

It (the UB) is supposedly a psychic message from beings that somehow use Judeo/Christian words? Better that than a book that teaches that God gets angry and sends floods and storms and fireballs from heaven because the ignorant and primitive people don't know what meteors are.

The Sadlers and their group more than likely made up the UB? Good, it's still light years better than what Moses and the Jews came up with.

When's the next stoning going to be?

Dude - it's ridiculous how you keep bringing up junk from the religions of Abraham, - of which I am not a member, - and yet your religion uses all of the Abrahamic imagery. It just put the same things and names into new planetary beings ideas.

Not "supposedly" - they said so. Messages received through a supposedly unconscious person.

Again - where are you getting those ideas?

Why would humans be made - in the minds of MEN - from information called Satan? When Satan is just anther name of one of YHVH's angels?

Why do you think images, words, false god building, is the "beast?

You are Lutheran - so - why do you consider "Christ" just eternal information, that will replace Satan beast information?

My religion uses the "Abrahamic imagery" because there are some truths mixed in with the falsehoods.

The UB was received through a supposedly unconcious person? And how do you think the ancient writers of the books of the Old Testament and Revelations got their ideas? The same way lady.

Seems to me, Joel does Not agree with the ^ above ^ because Joel 2:28-29 says they will prophecy which is in harmony with Acts of the Apostles 2:17-18.

................................................... When Satan is just anther name of one of YHVH's angels?

I find that in Scripture that Satan is Not his name, but that he is called a Satan and a Devil. (Not his proper name).
Satan's name is unknown, whereas YHVH (Tetragrammaton) of God's name is known. Old KJV Psalms 83:18.

Your religion uses Abrahamic religions because that is what it's creators where familiar with.

Again the writers SAID it was through this method. You should know these things about your own religion.

The Abrahamic "claim" God spoke directly with them, gave them tablets of law, etc.

But again, I don't believe in - or belong to those religions, - so it is ridiculous to keep throwing out the likes of, = "And how do you think the ancient writers of the books of the Old Testament and Revelations got their ideas?"

Who cares how they claim to have gotten them. Your writer told us how he got them.

Devil is a NT term, not found in Tanakh.

I am well aware that it uses the term "the Satan." As in the tester/accuser.

We have verses where he appears among the other angels, and verses where he plays god's prosecuting attorney.

Zechariah 3:1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of YHVH, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

How eldios comes up with the idea that HUMANS are CREATED from SATAN INFORMATION, - is beyond me.

Also - a tetragrammaton is useful as a place holder for God's name, but it is not God's name.

That idea means your God is not All Powerful, Supreme, All knowing, etc.

It would also mean polytheism, - as your Satan has God powers to create something the other God didn't.

Tanakh does not say Satan wanted power, and was tossed from Heaven. That is from a misunderstanding of Tanakh texts about A King of Babylon.

My religion uses Abrahamic religions because that is what it's creators were familiar with? And how did they know about all of the angel ranks and jobs and multiple training schools and entire history of Jesus on the earth and details of the Lucifer Rebellion and Adam and Eve and more?

The writers of the UB said it was through the channeling method? And? So. Would express mail be a more credible method?

I should know this about my own religion? Do you know who wrote any book of the Tanakh?

Who cares how the writers of the OT and NT got them? One of the guys said the info came from a burning bush that did not burn up. Wow, that's like really super credible. What do we do with people who say they hear burning bushes talk to them?

When is the next stoning going to be?

Books outside the Bible, Christian spiritualism, etc. And I would assume - a whole lot of made up material.

Channeling is NOT a credible source. Anyone can claim to be in a trance receiving special information.

I should know this about my own religion? Do you know who wrote any book of the Tanakh? Who cares how the writers of the OT and NT got them?

Indeed you should know such information about your own religion if you are going to be on here promoting it.

Again NOT Abrahamic! I don't believe either of you, - so - why do you keep throwing them in?

When is the next stoning going to be?

Again - not being Abrahamic, - what is this supposed to mean to me?

LOL! Then why did you post this -

And why do you use their names and ideas to jump from?

I grew up in a Christian house, and I felt that people should know the real story that fundamentalist Christians adhere to.

I thought that the conceptions of good and evil were interesting, and the story itself raises interesting issues about good and evil as chosen natures of being.

I also thought that it was interesting how stories like this become believable to people whom close themselves off from the actual nature of reality.

lastly, I think examining God, and his perfection, and power is worth scrutinizing because it holds up a false ideal of truth authority. I like to imagine what would a just God be, and how far away from just the Bible is.

Christianity is a widely held belief, and people should know the salvation story because it represents a view of justice in the world.

Except that the story you are telling is not actually in Tanakh. It is a later invention.

There is no Lucifer, or rebellion, or fall of Satan, in Tanakh.
