A really hard question on Satan and deception.

[Godscreated]

Here's a thought to ponder, when a smoker goes to a doctor and the doctor says that if you continue to smoke it will kill you, is that a threat from the doctor or is it concern for the well being of his patient?

Did the doctor put a pack of smokes on the coffee table and say "Don't smoke those."?

That's about, no is ridiculous.

And if God is taking advice: it's a mistake to allow free-willed beings into heaven. They will mess it up. You couldn't even keep more than 2/3 of the angels in line and you're going to allow humans in? Save yourself the headache, but be nice: send 'em to a better place, but out of your hair.

God did not try to keep 1/3 of the angels in check, He allowed them to exercise their freewill. I think you have a misconception of freewill, it is only one of two choices God or no God, the rest of ones life goes on from there in a relationship with God or no relationship with Him. The decision is ours we were created to choose, so were the angels.

You kind of missed the point, man. If people can't choose not to be in a relationship with God in heaven, they don't have freewill. If they do have freewill, they can, like 1/3 of the angels, still forfeit heaven after they've gotten there...and we're no angels.

Sorry I did misread it.
