The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. (e.g. slave to sin) [1 Jon 3:8] But, HD, if the devil, by your theology, is necessarily God's obedient servant doing simply God's will, why would God come to destroy him?

I will add this to this puzzlement, it is my personal belief that everyone will be exactly where they want to be. Consequently the rich man who looked at Abraham from the depths of hell never asked to be removed from the flaming torment. He only asked Abraham to quench his tongue.
