  Hi,

  To further show...Man cannot direct his own steps....until we are all walking around like death warmed over, bleeding from all openings in our body...we all fall on our knees...& Say...Obi Wan Canobe....You're our only hope....Jehovah, is trying to make a point...see...you do need me....but I want the entire world to need me...That's why I created all of you, To Worship me....Oh sure, I had the angels, but they were boring...worshipping me day & night, flying around all day long....they never sleep...wear white all the time...so I made humans...

  My question is a little different...why make a rule of not eating something in the first place...because once the rule is made, it has to be upheld...I try sooo hard to believe in God/Jesus...but late at night, questions like this one Satan Cast to Earth crosses my mind & many other things...

  So there was trouble in Heaven before it ever came to earth ? I hope this isn't blaspheme....if God couldn't control the angels....& he created them too.

  Heaven

  Satan is a human creation to shift the primary blame and foundational responsibility of evil and badness away from the human species and place it on the shoulders of a mythological creature.

  Gog of Magog? I just laugh now.

  Basic question:

  WHY would Satan (whether Gog or not) be cast to the earth?
  Why not cast him to Quadrant 4 of the galaxy?

  I was thinking Quadrant 3, but Quadrant 4 sounds even better.

  Satan gets away with everything. He's a convenient scapegoat for every horrible thing since the beginning of time, but receives no punishment and lives for thousands of years so that mr. holier than thou can prove he's soooo much better while making sure that humans receive his holy back hand if they use their genitals incorrectly. Yup, makes sense to me.

  What doesn't add up is the fact that the Watchtower doesn't tell us the time or day that it actually happened or even the vicinity in which he landed what is the diference between the Devil arriving and not arriving . When in the history of the World has it ever been any different wars, plagues, inhuman suffering etc. Nature itself is cruel and bloodthirsty the planet has always played out the survival of the fittest.

  Where exactly is he right now in the air up a mountain in a volcano , in a cloud, or even in the bottom of some ocean, can he hide in atoms I ask myself ?

  He is not on Facebook as far I can tell or even Friends Reunited does he need a Sat Nav because he never shows up ? Does he live in a human head could he be in charge of JW.ORG who knows ? He hasn't got a web site has he if it appears he has could it be some human larking about ?

  Why is he here when Jesus is here both invisible can't fathom it out I know I shall Google it .

  It has to be understood that a christian "lives" in two realms. The kingdom in heaven and on the earth.

  satan deceives on earth in the "realm" of ideas/ideologies and his angels reward those who "buy and sell" in the doctrines of demons. he has had sustained influence of "the air" since Jesus returned to heaven with extra attention directed to the church especially in these last days in order to cause deep division...to weaken "the body". (matthew 24:10-12)

  his power of influence will be thrown to the earth, so to speak, when the absolute power, wisdom and salvation of God is revealed to/in the hearts and minds of the VERY elect...the 144,000 missionaries commissioned to gather in new jewish believers.
