Gods love toward man is a redemptive love. How is God original creation of Satan as "originally good a "redemptive love." You compare apples and oranges.

You're still refusing to heed God's Word
I guess the nature of a public board like this must include people who can come on and say anything they want. It would naturally include people involved in name calling and arguments set up from straw men. It amazes me how quick some on this board engage in such behavior. With you, I can already see that if I engage you in conversation your attitude is to prepare for endless bickering so that you might somehow win an argument. You certainly cannot be saying such things to convince me of any truth. Speech that desires to present truth is seasoned with gentleness and grace. You already have me thrown in the trash heap of those who "refuse to heed God's Word."

In fact, you did not even both to address my objection, in your previous post. If you understood what I said, I already addressed your argument below. Do you really want to say the things you did above so quickly?

like it shows in Ezek.28 where God revealed He originally created Satan a cherub that covereth that was "pefect in his ways" before he rebelled. By implying that God created Satan originally as evil and rebellious is to say that God, and not the devil, is responsible for ALL evil. Our Heavenly Father is NOT responsible for evil acts, nor the original creation of evil. This is WHY Satan, and those who follow him are going to perish in the future, and be no more forever. Otherwise, if God was responsible for Satan's evil acts, then how could God then judge and sentence him to perish?

Also, the Isaiah 65 Scripture reveals God is going to make Jerusalem and her people a joy, meaning even the concept of rebellion will be taken away in His future Eternity, the former things not remembered. That's how He will ensure there won't be another rebellion against Him. Now those who still want to be their 'own' god, wanting to have a will that can go against God, will follow Satan into the lake of fire and also be no more. That's what the "second death" of Rev.20 is about.
