Love💯 when the Bible says God hates certain sins, it's not talking about the sinners. Even when the Bible says God hates a specific person, like Esau, the Hebrew word translated as hate means "a strong preference over one person than another," not an actual personal hatred. That goes against everything God teaches, even in the OT. God can hate your actions but He'll still love you. That goes for everyone, including Satan. So why doesn't Satan repent? I think this is a deep psychological issue that we've all dealt with. Every single one of us, at one point in our life, has felt like we're so bad that there's no way God could ever forgive us. But with Satan, he's the epitome of everything bad, so he's also the epitome of that guilt. I personally believe that God could forgive Satan just as He forgives us. I know there's a Bible verse about an unforgivable sin that gives that belief pause, but I think that sin is an active action, not a one-time event. Also, something about life that I've noticed as a Christian; you don't need to believe in, or worhip, God for Him to use you for His plan. He'll use you either way. Worship is tied specifically to Heaven. But God will still use you as an unbeliever, and He will even still answer your prayers. Worship generally comes from a sense of appreciation after those prayers are answered.
God could have destroyed Satan instantly, but the accusations Satan made needed to unfold to expose the truth and bring resolution. The consequence of sin is death-in other words, the result of violating love is death, or to put it another way, breaking God’s law leads to death. In His infinite wisdom, God has allowed iniquity to reach its fullness, demonstrating to all creation that Satan is both a liar and a murderer, while God is the embodiment of love.
Choice and free will. He’s the opposing force that seeks to destroy and distort free will yet we have the choice to follow our Lord and Savior.
Free will..easy
I choose to be both, why fake to try to be more good than bad. Just keep em even or don't, say sorry, get saved
is this voiced by ai?
