Satan's free will is the extraordinary problem. He has extreme pride and adultery, from knowing God most well in his day, he wants God's power apart from His character and image. If there is a place outside God's plan and will, it is Satan's heart.
It is beyond me to suppose that GOD's glory, the proof of HIS Divine attributes and power, is so meager that someone could bask in it yet then turn against it to try to claim it for himself while knowing that in fact
he is not GOD and will end in hell for his failure!! ??
The only way I can conceive of a person using their free will to pick a fight with YHWH is
if HE made CLAIMS to deity without proof and Satan decided HE was pulling a scam and was no better than anyone else so he repudiated HIM. Since he considered YHWH to be liar a he might also have considered HIM to be the first sinner in creation and therefore the most evil person in creation which would be the unforgivable sin.
Why would GOD hide the proof of HIS glory?
Is not the heavenly state the culmination of all life? Is not the heavenly state characterized as the marriage of Christ and HIS Church:
Revelation 19:6-7 “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready” Is not the sexual union of married people symbolic of the spiritual unity with GOD of those married to GOD?
If HE wanted to enter a marriage union with HIS creation HIS proposal would have to be accepted by our free will, that is, not coerced by anything. IF we saw HIS glory, proof of HIS Deity, HIS promises of heaven and HIS warnings of hell, who could reject HIS marriage proposal and go to hell?? HE had to hide HIS glory or a true marriage with us would be impossible.
A marriage that is forced is not a marriage but a rape.
A marriage that is built on tricking the bride into not understanding that she could say
No! is not a marriage at all but a fraud.
Therefore for HIS purpose for us to enter into the communion of a unity with us called marriage to be real, it must have been as a offered to us as
a proposal of marriage which we had the right and understanding to accept or reject by our free will.
Those who accepted HIS proposal on faith without proof (and the attenuating promise of salvation if we should ever fall into sin) were chosen to be HIS bride, a promise of marriage called election.
Those who rejected HIS proposal of marriage on faith without proof HE was lying immediately became enslaved to the addictive quality of evil with no chance of salvation as they were rejecting the ONLY ONE who could free them from their addiction, that is, by repudiating HIM as their GOD and Saviour believing HIM to be a liar and a false god motivated by an evil megalomania, they sinned the unforgivable sin and were condemned to banishment from all of created reality to the outer darkness from that second on.
No one was created as evil as HE had no reason or need for evil people in HIS purpose for finding a Bride. HE could not and would never marry an evil person. Those of you who know this to be true must redefine that part of your theologies which mangle this truth. GOD is love and in HIM is no evil at all for it to come out:
a stream of life giving water cannot give forth stagnant or brackish water.
I champion GOD’s holiness:
- GOD did not need evil to fulfill HIS plan and did not create evil for any reason.
- All evil is creature created by their true free will.
I champion our Free will:
- All spirits created in the image of GOD were created with the ability to make true free will decisions and had an equal opportunity and ability to choose for HIM or against HIM.
- Only sinners have no free will unless/until they are reborn.
