There was a war in heaven. Satan and his followers were cast out to earth. It continues to this day but is only temporary.
So God can't keep his own house in order or keep a deceiver out of his garden; and beings that interact with him directly still rebel? And you believe in the guarantee that heaven will be eternal bliss despite being filled with fractious humans?
If it helps, the Lucifer in Isaiah (the only time the name Lucifer is mentioned) almost certainly refers to the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar II, who conquered Jerusalem, or his son Belshazzar, both dead at the time of the writing.
And the claim of a third of angels, which is an interpretation of 'the dragon sweeping a third of the stars from the sky' in Revelations could as easily be prophecy as a description of past events. And it's even more likely that the 'dragon' was the Roman empire and the 'stars' were early Christianity's ministers and teachers.
Has it occurred to you that you might be taking the Bible too literally?

How I am trolling the site by just providing facts? Some people on here may not be aware of these things. Others may be intellectually dishonest.
I dare you to say something more trollish than that people who understand what you're saying are intellectually dishonest if they still disagree with you.
CDF47 Wrote:The scientific community disagrees with you. 51 percent of scientists are believers and 41 percent are non-believers based on a Pew poll result. Once the stigma of ID wears old, I expect that number to increase even more for believers. Also, 89 percent of people in the US believe in God based on a Gallup poll.
I guarantee that 51% of American scientists are not young earth creationists who think DNA requires intelligent design. Your link makes it 4% of scientists who are evangelical protestants compared to 28% of the general US population. And that's four times the percentage of nonbelievers in the general American population, btw, so scientists are far less likely to believe in a personal god (that's 33% of scientists, btw, 18% of your 51% believe in 'some higher power or universal force'). What happens to your argument from popularity when it's down to 49% of American scientists who believe as the trend for believers in the USA is downward?
Not to mention that the USA is the most religious developed country and the percentage of nonbelievers among European scientists is likely quite different.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
