Dearest Francois... peace to you!
May I respond? Thank you.
I think Satan was a pretty big dog. Pretty high up on the food chain. Very persuasive. Lots of authority. Large, brilliant light. Created in perfection.
Absolutely. You are correct. Pretty high up... but STILL... in subjection. Thus, HIS requirement to 'take his station' before my Father, and 'render an accounting'... as well.
Chose to call evil into being.
No, actually evil... or 'bad'... already existed. Thus the Tree... of the knowledge of good... AND bad. Satan just chose to SERVE bad... and offer up 'sacrifices'... starting with Adam and Eve (who, by the way, went 'willingly')... TO 'bad'. To Death... the only other force that can contend... with Life. (Although while it does not seem so now, Death's 'contention' WILL end... and Death... WILL lose.)
Big fall from where he was sitting, standing or whatever.
Yup. Big one. Can you imagine, having some kind of eternal 'position' and power in the spirit realm... and losing it to a temporary and doomed 'position' in this one? Might be hard for some of us to imagine, but for those that can, kinda puts things in a better... uh, perspective, yes?
And I think there was only ONE arkangel cause there was only one ark.
Well, considering that the Ark of the Covenant was created 'after the pattern' shown Moses in the mountain... and IT had TWO cherubs... on ITS 'cover'... or 'propitiatory'... I think it safe to assume the original one had two cherubs as well. I mean, Michael is called an 'arkangel'... and Satan is also called the 'arkaick angel'... and that right there makes... well, two... so...
And it was full of bullshit.
Oh! I see... you were joking all along. I'm sorry, I thought you were serious because it DID appear that you weren't very far off the mark. (In truth, the 'earthly' Ark contained a jar of manna, Aaron's budded staff and the stone tablets on which was written the Law. The 'heavenly' one, however, when I saw it, contained an innumerable amount of 'seed', gold orb-like things, that were poured out... or 'thrown down'... to this realm from that one. It is also my understanding that ALL things 'created' came out of that Ark... that it is the 'womb' of my Father's 'wife'... the spirit realm. Today, however, the 'ark' is simply one's heart... the place where the 'law' is written, and which, above all other things, is to be most guarded.
Anyway, if you WERE serious... so was I.
I have a natural revulsion to people who claim or imply they have all the answers.
The ONLY One I know who has 'all the answers', is my Father. For even the Son knows 'neither the day nor the hour'... yes? So, even HE didn't/doesn't know 'all things'. BUT... by means of the SPIRIT of my Father, both he... and WE... can be taught 'all things'. Yes?
I think they should be taken out at dawn and pummeled into a state of semi-consciousness with a soggy copy of the Watchtower. Then they can say, "My lord that hurt." (Gives them another way to slip in yet another superfluous reference to my lord. I try to help out everywhere I can.)
Methinks my personal reference 'irritates' you. I am sorry, truly. I do not use it with the intent to irritate, but to speak the truth. I wish I could be concerned with pleasing you... and others... but, in truth, my concern is in making sure that HE knows where I 'place' him in my life. That's it; that's all. I mean, when you speak of YOUR dad, you most probably say... "my dad", no matter WHO you're speaking to... or what about. Yes? Except with your brothers/sisters, at which time you might say "our dad" or just "Dad". Since not ALL here are my brothers/sisters, and those that are find no fault in my reference, I speak I as feel comfortable. Cool? Cool.
Oh, and peace!
A slave of Christ,
