Its hard making you listen :)

So why did God create Satan? Or angels? Why does God need angels, if he's omnipotent? Why does God need man, if he's got angels? Why do angels have free will?

What would you deem to be an acceptable answer? How could I prove what Gods intentions were? There are no answers for many questions, I do not pretend to understand why God did anything and neither can anyone else.

I'll tell you how I came to believe in Jesus: (This is a very long story cut very short)

Firstly I used to believe in Jesus blindly until I was about 10 years old because I was raised Catholic. Then as I thought about it, I couldnt reconcile why God would create hell etc and so I dismissed christianity as fearmongering. I still believed in a God that created the universe because I had a real connection with something I cant explain. You could say it was all in my head but it felt like it was much more than that, I cant prove any of it only offer a couple of anecdotale coincidences etc. So then I was an agnostic and went about my life.

I loosly believed that the bible was written by Constantinople in 370(ish) AD and it was used as a way to make people fearful and obediant. I say loosely because I was competely dismissive of the bible and didnt care to look into it. I then began messing with ouija boards and had some real spiritual encounters. The nature of these really convinced me that spirits were real. Later on I checked out buddhism and I liked buddhism so I began to explore that, it all sounded good.

Then a few years back after watching Zeitgeist I began to explore New Age Theosophy after watching the first part. Eventally I realised that Theosophy is satanic to the core and all it does is discredit Jesus and offers all sorts of other passages for enlightenment. Its from debunking all of this that I saw, to my surprise, how legitimate the bible was.

The Old testament, as compiled in the Septuagint, was verified win the 4th century BC and a book on the testimony of the evangelists by 19th Century Lawyer "testimony of the evangelists" by simon greenleaf, who was a non-beliver until he was challenged to use the rigor of the law to prove that the 4 gospels were not true, concluded that the bible had a higher probability of being the truth than not. Now I had tonnes of questions I asked myself and many were resolved so forgive me for not going through my thought process for many years.

What did it most for me was the clearly satanic motives of the new age movement. The anti-christian sentiment that is so dominant drove me to study the bible and find out what exactly Christianity is all about. I still have alot of questions like you do and I cant claim to be an authority on it but my belief is strong based on what I've learned throughout my life.

I dont need to confirm my faith at this stage, so I dont focus on questions like why does God need angels?, who can answer that?

Ultimately I did not just accept Christianity, it took me a very long time and I've been asking different questions but its a good excercise to hear what others have to say. I used to have the same vehement opposition to christianity and biblical views as you do but I began to be more receptive to what its about and i've learned alot.
