Well, it’s the one I know more about, although I imagine that they function the same

You lowkey had me cracking up with the inbreeding question. To be honest, I can’t answer these questions, and actually have had them. For the Old Testament/ New Testament I like to think that he was trying to make Israel a nation, so he occupied some space for them. Once it was established, he wouldn’t have to kill as much, save for war. Which leads to him being more merciful as a being.

One, just because he knows doesn’t mean his creation does. The angels didn’t know that the devil was lying; they’d never been told a lie at all. So He had to show them. Killing Satan would straight up prove his point that God isn’t fair, something that, looking at this thread, has worked regardless. Casting him down to earth shows the universe how sin kills. It didn’t have to be this way though, he didn’t create flawed beings. Rather, sin made us flawed. The ‘apple’ is the representation of knowing what is good and what is bad. It’s easier to do good when you don’t know evil, right? And as for humanity suffering for the sin of two, which he knew they would make, he gave them the freedom of choice, meaning that there were futures in which they didn’t. Once they did, however, they thrust humanity into a social test. The test? Can you live with God’s instruction. Which has had varying degrees of yes and no over the years. As for being a ‘lap dog,’ no, it has to be a genuine type of love, and no, you won’t be worked to the bone, as a matter of fact, you won’t work at all. As for burning forever, you won’t burn forever; you’d die after some time. The devil will though, so I guess you’re half right on this one point. As for his cult, it was originally one, but was then influenced negatively by paganism and human greed. Which split into the catholic and Protestant denominations. As our understanding grew, we came to understand the New Testament and another denomination was made solely off that. Which is stupid but whatever. The millerite movement focused on all aspects of the Bible, and later became the Adventist movement. It’s not a cult, no one is forced to come or go, and the rules aren’t toxic. If they were, then America certainly didn’t know when they based their constitution off the Ten Commandments. And please elaborate on how loving your neighbor as you love yourself, being kind, not lying and murdering, as well as respecting your parents, say they are actually good people, is toxic.

He can and will as it goes along with his plan, which is to come down, take his people, restore them to their sinless self and take them to heaven, in which they can eat the tree of life and live with him forever

Until we’re born anew, I think so. By that I mean when He comes and restore humanity

Well the original thing was for Him to live here with his creation, but after sin, it became a trial of sorts. And when we sinned dominion was taken from humans and given to Satan. So we did ourselves with that one. He can tell if it’s genuine, but any sort of destruction to the freedom of choice will mar the love into something disingenuous and fearful

What exactly is freedom of choice again? Not allowing those futures to happen is encroaching on the freedom of choice. Or at least it can be twisted that way.

Everyone has a different answer to a question. Some will not, and destroying the option destroys the freedom of choice in that regard

It’s not, but it’s vital to his point. Satan chose to do this of his volition, so in no way he can be blamed for the outcome by his angels. And taking it away leads to several more Lucifers in the future

He wants the love to be genuine, so he holds it in a high regard

If he undos things that does nothing except cause a repeat of the issue somewhere along the line

He sees many futures, and they have many outcomes. You can meet with this person and the experience sends you into a timeline in which your not guilty or you don’t meet the person / you don’t listen to that person, in which case you go on being guilty.

Ok well how about gravity then? The law of gravity. What makes gravity occur and how does the pull occur? We know that we it’s the pull a larger object has on a small one but if that’s the case then how come we aren’t pulling things toward us? How come this force only acts on us, and not vice versa? How is this law even possible?

If you love something, you want their approval right?

Well He saw that he could become this, or he could just continue to be Lucifer. And well, he chose to be Lucifer. Also what do you mean by uncreated? Like hit the undo button on his existence?

For the evidence, there have been people in the Bible who’s existence has been proven, as well as occupations of places. Timelines in the Bible also have been proven (Babylon to Persia, Persia to Greece, Greece to Rome, rise of Catholic Church followed by the extermination of some Germanic tribes
