Question: Why did GOD create Satan, the Devil?
Answer: GOD didn't. Satan the Devil is a consequence of sin that comes from freewill choices of a personage (i.e. freewill intelligent self aware entity) empowered to make those choices.
Question: If GOD has absolute knowledge of all things and exercise absolute control over everything so that nothing can happen unless HE allow it, can HE still fault (blame and pass judgment on) us when we sin?
Answer: GOD allows us to exercise the choices we make, sometimes HE prevents it and other times (mostly) HE allows it. But regardless, we are answerable for the choices we make and the consequence those actions bring based on our knowledge and understand of the consequences and the extended consequences. Sin starts with an intent of the heart. It is an intent deliberated upon then acted out (including communicated) or an omission through an awareness or knowing negligence.
Evil And The Judgment of GOD
Evil And The Judgment of GOD
Evil is an intent of the ‘heart’ (a thought or mind conceived intent that would result in some kind of consequential harm being done) whether these evil intents are carried out or not. But there is a difference between an intent acted out and one that is not, in the same way as an intent to carry out a crime and the act of carrying out a crime is different.
Please completely read the (multi installments) discussion
‘Readers' Question: Why Do Innocents Suffer If GOD Is Just’ in the blog‘Bible 101 – The Holy Bible Expounded’ which conclusively, logically, simply and very plainly refutes and exposes as incomprehensible stupidity the proclamations of deliberately pretending to be stupid ego supergorging philosophers, scientists and atheists that claimed as a conundrum and contradictory beyond rational logic preposition of the existence of an all powerful, all knowing and all everywhere (aka omnipotent, omniscience and omnipresence) CREATOR or all things who is good and merciful against the present of evil in the world.
But we are imperfect and are not always in control of our thoughts, emotions or actions. Shouldn't this absolve us from blame?
Judgment Of GOD In The Great Judgment
1. Knowledge and understanding of wrong and right, good and evil, and how we behave or act according to this knowledge. This is the culpability and complicity factor.
2. What we do to others based on what we want them to either do or not to do to us. What we want others to do for us and what we don't want others to do to or against us.
3. By how we judge others.
4. If it is in our power to do what we believed is good for another (without any unsolicited andor unwanted interfering, real or perceived) but we omit or decline to do so, that is sin. There is one exclusion to this requirement spelt on in the verse Matthew 7 verse 6.
5. If we either believed or understood that doing or saying something is wrong but we still willingly act to carry it out, that is sin.
6. When we judged, condemned andor criticized others for doing something and we do the same, we sin.
7. When we understand or believe or know that GOD commands us to do or forbid us to do something, yet we willingly act against that understanding, beliefs andor knowledge, we sin.
8. When we approve or agree with something that someone does (in deed or in communication) that we know, think or believe to be wrong or evil we sin.
9. Event though sin begins with the intent in the heart, GOD does not bring judgement on the intent until that intent is acted on either in words (communicated in any manner) or deeds. GOD does not do pre-crime. Because a person can have a change of heart or mind. Until the words are conveyed (i.e. communicated) or the deed done, it is not done, it is not an expression in reality outside or external of ourselves. Often or as a general rule, GOD waits until sin has reached its fullness before bringing judgment or retribution on those sinning. This applies (i.e. the context of this is) especially the human social system (political and economical) either in is separated units or in totality. But that does not mean that each instance of sin is not subject to judgment. GOD will judge each and every act and word of every man, woman and angel on the day that HE had appointed — Judgment Day.
10. For all and sundry, notwithstanding those who were directly destroyed by GOD in this Age of Man, GOD has appointed a day to bring all personages (men, women and angels) into judgment. Those exempted are those of GOD's Elect (of the Everlasting Covenant and its retroactive applications signified by all who were given the HOLY SPIRIT during this current lifetime) who will be part of the First Resurrection as they have already been judged in the first lifetime of their calling.
Examples:
1. When we act presumptuously or carelessly or selfishly we sin.
2. When we do or say something knowing that others will be harmed by our words or actions we sin.
3. When we do or say something not caring about the consequences to others we sin.
4. When we look down on or despised another we sin.
5. When we think and behave like we are better than others we sin. See point 6 below.
6. When we speak, behave or act presumptuously, arrogantly andor proudly we sin. This is the sin of conducting ourselves beyond our estate (i.e. position, status andor situation) in life. GOD requires all HIS creature personages to behave circumspectly and responsibly, to walk humbly before HIM understanding that we are all under authority, HIS authority (Isaiah 46:9 – 10; Micah 6:8; Isaiah 66:2).
7. With everyall things when we judged or condemned others of doing or of not doing, yet we ourselves behave the same way, we are judged and condemned.
The above are the basis by which all thinking, reasoning and contemplating intelligent personages are going to be judged on Judgment Day when GOD judges everyone according to all their words, works or acts. Every member of humankind irrespective of age, sexual orientation and belief system (who are not part of the First Resurrection) will be judged according to the measure of their culpability and complicity with evil. That includes everyone (with one exception) who had ever lived from the time of Adam and Eve. GOD will bring every single human being who have ever lived back to life for The Judgment.
Contrary to the lies of all the evil religions which proclaimed themselves as from the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, no one whether man, woman or child (or any animals) who had died are right now ‘alive’ living in hell or heaven (or in any other places). They are all dead, returned to the dust from which they were all taken (Genesis 3:19). And as it is appointed for men (includes women and children) to die once, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”

Comprehensive Update To This Post
When this work first began (unofficially as the end of age message of the Christian Holy Scriptures) in Windows Spaces Live (which had since shutdown and ceased to be a social media platform) the scope and target focus of this work was mainly just to be an educational tool for my daughter to learn about my faith and religion i.e. my commitment to The Everlasting Covenant I was called into with the ALMIGHTY CREATOR of all things and the LORD GOD [Yĕhovah 'elohiym : transliteration Perpetual Power] of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
When Windows Spaces Live then gave notice of its impending closure (aka permanent closing shop or discontinuation) I began looking for a new place to continue publishing my various blog topics. I tried WordPress (which was promoted by Windows Spaces Live) and Blogger, and decided on Blogger as it better support my needs of a simple platform for publication that is simple to begin publishing without elaborate presentation formatting.
And it was during this period that I saw the need for me to continue my testimonies of my Christian faith and calling as a public service (and no longer just a tool for my daughter's education).
This realization was brought about by the consideration of situation of wholesale and full scale unfaithfulness among the Elect of GOD (spewed out in the Falling Away of 1995 C.E.) and a new administration led by self righteous ego supergorging full of themselves leaderships and supported by lay members who are mostly of similar attitudes.
Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—
Revelation 3:17
Which of course, was exactly what the Scriptures had foretold (Revelation 3:17).
For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hooves.
“Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm and his right eye!
May his arm be completely withered, his right eye totally blinded!””
Zechariah 11:16 – 17 (NIV)
And because of the same continued unfaithfulness among near all the Elect (for which GOD gave the first Laodicea administration over to the Man of Sin who then turned the entire globe spanning congregation apostate), GOD raised up a worthless shepherd (Zechariah 11:16 – 17) to head and lead the new (second) administration of the Church of GOD in Laodicea.
However the implications of a role change from being just a lay member (i.e. not some one ordained by the Church's leadership into any ministerial role) doing a work of just supporting the Church's mission (i.e. as determined by the human leadership) and supporting co workers through fellowship, it was not then apparent to me yet what the main focus or scope of my work was to be.
So when this work first began publishing on Blogger at the end of 2009 C.E., it was just a very general (i.e. without a specific targeted primary audience in mind) testimony of the truth recorded in the Christian Holy Scriptures translated into the Christian Bible (in numerous translations and languages).
But a few years into the work, as this author (according to the grace, mercy and provision of GOD through the HOLY SPIRIT) grew in knowledge and understanding (Matthew 13:12, 25:29; Isaiah 28:10; Luke 8:18) it became clear that the primary focus (i.e. targeted audience) groups for this work are: first the Elect of this last era of the Church of GOD's journey beginning from the Falling Away (includes all those called in the last three eras spanning Sardis to Laodicea who are still alive at the time this work began on Blogger); the Spirit realm the Angel or Spirit personages. The secondaries targeted groups are: the Elect of GOD according to the promises made to Abraham; the enemies among humankind who persecute the Elect of GOD; and lastly the rest of humankind who may or may not be complicit to the persecution of the Elect, as a warning that the Second Advent of JESUS is drawing near and they need to wake up and turn from their evil ways or be destroyed in the Day of the LORD.
Those of you who have been with (i.e. a regular reader or follower of) this work from the beginning period (any time between 2009 to end of 2011 C.E.) if you might remember that this post was just a three short sections of some eight hundred words that: (Section 1) briefly asked why GOD created Satan and the stated that HE didn't, (Section 2) a six points list of how GOD will judge all mankind in the Judgment, and (Section 3) a list of examples elaborating on section 2.
Though this post has since underwent some updates it is however still at a general very basic level of discussion. That brings us to the purpose and point for this update.
Beginning the follow section below a new discussion of the subject topic of this post is meant to bring this basic discussion to be a more comprehensively discussed one, getting the whole discussion to be in line with the revised scope for this work. Rather than redoing the whole post I thought that I will do an add on discussion to highlight how the difference in scope has since changed many of the earlier (posted between 2009 to end of 2011 C.E.) original discussions into more comprehensive ones that are both broader and deeper in coverage on the topics discussed.
Random 2.0
One of the main and central thrust (so as to blaspheme GOD) by evil, ego supergorging, deliberately pretending to be stupid proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of scientific knowledge and philosophy (includes all atheists, religious, non religious and irreligious) was in their proclamation that the existence of evil coupled with the proposition of an all power, all knowing God who is good as an irreconcilable conundrum.
In the same manner, one of the main and central thrust (so as to get all their subscribers and discipleship to blaspheme GOD) of evil monotheistic religions particularly all the evil religions which claimed to be of that of Abraham the Father of the Faithful of the Holy Christian Scriptures, is to have Satan the Devil portrayed as one, some or all of the following:
1. a faithful and obedient servant of GOD carrying out GOD's will to test and tempt humans which they do so as to portray GOD as evil (i.e. unjust, unrighteous and glory lust driven creating severely limited creatures full of physiological and psychological weaknesses and limitations so as to be able to feel superior).
2. as practically harmless and not being able to physically do anything much except to just whisper (so as to portray GOD as evil, being responsible for all the carnage and violence that befall humankind);
3. as being locked away (and therefore has been unable to do anything much to anyone and anything since) in a so called hell (same again as previous two) so that he is and has been unable to do any harm to anyone or anything.
But even among all who believe (as an idea concept) that Satan is a very power enemy of GOD who holds sway over all of our world, and is primarily responsible for all the evil in the creation, however Satan's power and sway over them is never a keep in mind (so as to resist and not obey and not to lust uncontrollably) consideration except as either an object to blame whenever they get called out for some evils they have been doing or has done, or ammunition to brand others as Satan or being Satanic (i.e. servants of Satan).
Yes, these ego supergorgers are almost all the Elect of GOD from the Apostolic period to this very day, and includes also as many of the daughter harlots of the Great Harlot of today, who each (in their respective orders andor sects) have selectively select some of the doctrines taught by of the Church of GOD, to make them part of their doctrines and dogmas just as the Mother Harlot did during the Apostolic Age when her religion and belief system was still in its formative and nascent years.
The harlot daughters who do this do it in the same manner (and for the same reasons) as all the evil lust driven who proclaimed themselves to be of the GOD of Abraham. The modus operandi is the same as used by identity thieving charlatans and confidence tricksters so as to pass for themselves off as authentic Christian, the Elect..
This too has been exactly how almost all of the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives among the Elect of GOD have being doing since the Falling Away let and led them to set up their own Churches of Gods (themselves as the God who rule) retaining (with spins, inventions and twists added in, to the extend that they can so as to show off themselves as the most supremely religious piously and righteously faithful or faithful remnant Philadelphians) the selectively selected doctrines taught by the Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia.
