“The idea that an angel, who very nature is to serve God, can rebel against God, or that God cannot rid the world of this rebellious noëtic being is preposterous to say the least, no to mention that it’s thoroughly pagan (Zoroastrian).”
Why is it so preposterous to think that a created spirit being, endowed with untainted innocent free will and enjoying the glories of the heavens could not think that in its exalted state it knew more about what satisfies itself than God?
In His time and according to His purposes God will rid the world of this malevolent being, but until then, Jesus has taught us to pray the Father to deliver us from the “evil one”.
Because angels are created as God's obligate servants. It's their nature. They were not given dominion over anything. To suggest that an angel rebels against being a servant to God is to say that a dog rebels against being a dog.
Where does it say that angels have free will?
In His time and according to His purposes God will rid the world of this malevolent being, but until then, Jesus has taught us to pray the Father to deliver us from the “evil one”
He also says to pray to the Father not to leads us into temptation. Does God lead people into temptation? The Lord's Prayer seems to suggest he does.
By now the original questions I asked have been completely sidestepped, such as what was God 'doing' the entire eternity, why did he create the world if he didn't lack anything, and is perfect? And who is he trying to impress? etc.
