this has always baffled me.
that is why was satan and his demons allowed to be in heaven for so long after they split from god?.
if we did that then we are out of the congregation, members are shunned and also kicked out of families homes.
Even more baffling is, despite the heavens reigning over the entire universe and the myriad of distant planets out there, Jesus decided to banish Satan to OUR planet. Shows how geocentric the first century view of the cosmos was...
Why would a loving, wise God keep feeding into Satan's desire to harm and destroy His creation instead of simply casting him and the demons to some obscure, gaseous ball of hydrogen 45 billion light years away?
