I neglected to add, the reason Satan seeks to have each individual human set self above God during earthly sojourn is to nullify the greatest force in the universe available to humankind, faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, and as such, because those in Christ have an earnest of their inheretance within their human spirit while on earth (the spark of the Holy Spirit of God), those in Christ may access the greatest power of the universe when applied through the greatest force in the unverse.
BTW, betty boop, I think you might want to think of reviving the Screwtape Letters, given your so similar rhetoric of ol' Screwtape in your above soliloquy.
...you might want to think of reviving the Screwtape Letters....
That's definitely an excellent suggestion, MGHinTN! While we're on the subject of writings of C.S. Lewis, may I also suggest The Great Divorce? If one wants to understand how truly awesome human freedom is, the latter work will absolutely give one chills! Thank you so much for writing -- bb.
