I can't tell if you're being willfully disingenuous or if you cannot convert short term memory into long term.

Now you're trying to make me look like a liar, it's you sir who is being deceitful, shame on you for such dishonesty. The last part of that statement says, Ourselves because we fall to the deceit of the great deceiver. So were in this does the statement say we/I blame Satan, you really should learn to see what has been written, you need to quit reading your beliefs into my statements.
Oh, but you ARE a liar. You troll all over this forum claiming that your fairy tales are true, and claiming to speak for your fairy tale BIFF. You aren't even a GOOD liar: no one is fooled, except for the other liars. The people you are trying to fool aren't convinced in the least.

God will ultimately destroy him, it was not God's will that Lucifer fall, it was Lucifer's will that caused him to fall, if Lucifer had done God's will none of this would have happened. You want to blame God for the way things turned out, it's Lucifer that you should blame. It's funny in a way and pitiful in others, atheist call christians stupid and deluded, yet we are the ones that are intelligent enough to know who to blame. Ourselves for falling to the great deceiver, the father of lies, Lucifer.

So, I went back to read the original post that is in contention, and I have found the source of my confusion. When I read your post, I focused on the part I have bolded above, and I missed the part that italicized. I aplogize for making you sound like a liar, and my intention was not to be deceitful.

To be fair, however, the message of your post is a bit ambiguous.

I appreciate you doing this. Some just want to continue to argue, again thanks for rechecking the post. I do believe you did not mean to be deceitful.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
