All the info we have of Satan comes from a book written by his enemies. Totally not biased at all.

It is hilarious that christians want us to "find God" with the clear expectation that as soon as we find him, we'll bow down before him. As has been said, Lucy Fur actually knew him in person, none of this pen-pal personal relationship bollocks, and he told him to stuff it, and for good reason.
If I "found God" and it was Yawheh, he'd have some explaining to do. The last thing on my mind would be worshipping the bastard.
Of course, it's just a silly story so if I "found God" it would be an amazing and totally different experience. Probably. Maybe.

professor wrote
As for Satan, he made an irrevocable choice- he and all the other fallen angels who followed.
They had NEVER seen the severe side (the Justice side) of God and were blindsided by their own sin-
thinking Satan could over shadow God and take over.
Mutiny is never taken lightly. He cannot repent anyway- it is not in him.
All that is in him is pride, lies and killing.
Even his own legion of devils hate him, and would depose him if they could. He, in turn hates them, and rules them by force.
Did god know this was going to happen before it happened professor?

h4, you wouldn't be leading me down any primrose path with your question would you?
Foreknowledge is not fore planning and executing.
You guys seem to seek a way out of personal responsibility by going down a rabbit hole that by convolutions leads you to say,
"Since God knows everything" -He did it.
Reminds me of the line in the Stooges "Pie fight" scene.

Having said the above, of course God knew it.

In other words, any possible answer shatters the belief system so the question must be dismissed.

Foreknowledge is fore planning to a omniscient creator/designer.
Are you saying god has absolutely no plan from the time of "'let there be light"'to now?

Whether he had a plan or not, he knew what would happen. Must be a bitch if he knew he was gonna get a sore ass for 20,000 years.

Or it's creation will be a complete failure that it knows in advance it will need to slaughter everything and start all over.
That right there show how silly and omniscient creator is.

The professor dances around simple, straightforward questions like a ballerina on a hot plate.
Simply this, Why won't you pray to god and get an answer from god's judgment and not your own, on whether the African prophet is true or false?

To hear some Christians interpret it, as many as a third of the angels followed him out of heaven. And it really didn't take much to get Eve and Adam to disobey god. How unimpressive must Yahweh be, that people who got to know him so readily walk away from him? Even in the face of threats of eternal damnation!
He comes off as something of a schmuck, to be honest. A really powerful king who nonetheless cannot get people to take him seriously and pouts all the time because he knows that no one respects him and even those closest to him mock him behind his back.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
