Evil originated with Lucifer, who rebelled against the government of God. Before his fall he was a covering cherub, distinguished by his excellence. God made him good and beautiful, as near as possible like Himself, (Ezekiel 28:12-15).
In other words, God cast Lucifer/Satan TO THE EARTH, along with his angels -- all of us here on Earth who fought against God and Prince Michael/Christ in the war -- with him.What is the great controversy theme?
The great controversy is a cosmic war that has enveloped our world. It is ultimately between Jesus Christ and Satan. It’s a conflict that began in heaven when Satan rebelled against God’s law of love and selflessness, choosing to instead be driven by sin, which is rooted in selfishness and pride.
God had no choice but to cast Lucifer—together with the angels he convinced to follow him—out of heaven.
And sadly, most still are listening to and obeying Satan and his seductive voice, disguised as the ego/"self" within each of us.From there, Lucifer, now known as Satan, came to this earth where he deceived the first humans and has been working to hurt God by hurting people in every way imaginable—war, disasters, murder, illness, and more.
Agreed. Satan and all those who still follow and obey him are headed for The Fire on Judgement Day (soon).But even though it seems like Satan is successful right now, he won’t always be.
And to give all of us the time to repent of our sinful/evil/criminal ways, and turn back to God, His Christ and God's Selfless Law of Love.God is giving him time to show the whole universe his true colours.
And resurrection from the dead, to physically show all of us that there is spiritual (eternal) life after the death of the human body.At the same time, God has revealed His selfless law of love through Christ’s life and death.
Agreed (1 John 3:8). And those who are WITH Christ (Matt. 12:30), i.e. the "Elect" (Rev. 14:1-4), who are called, chosen and faithful(l), will very obviously be learning to keep The Law (Heb. 8:10-12), as there is no other way to eliminate sin (1 John 3:4).In the end, Christ will be victorious over Satan, destroying sin and evil forever.
There is no physical image that befits God, who always was, while there was not even nothing.2 Cor 4 4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Satan in the bible is called the god of this age.
In this verse satan is said to be the source of unbelief in the gospel of Christ (who is the image of God).
Satan as god of this age was prophesied to establish himself with five statements or pillars of intent on the same mount as God.
I will ascend to the heavens.
I will raise my throne above the stars of God.
I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds.
I will make myself like the Most High.

Luke 3 21When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened, 22and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
(19:35) It does not befit Allah to take for Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decrees a thing He only says: "Be" and it is.22
2 Cor 4 4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Jesus is not just a human... but the Logos of God.There is no physical image that befits God, who always was, while there was not even nothing.
How stupid can you be?Jesus is not just a human... but the Logos of God.
Before the Incarnation 2000 years ago... the Logos or Word of God spoke creation into existence.
?How stupid can you be?
