Hi MM,

Now I don`t see any scripture there to back up your thoughts. This is more of what God says as to Lucifer`s sin of pride.

`How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning....for you have said in your heart:

"I will ascend into heaven,

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God,

I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the furthest sides of the north;

I will ascend above the height of the clouds,

I will be like the Most High."

Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.`  (Isa. 14: 12 - 15)

 

Marilyn.

Yes it is the sin of Pride.  But what precipitated this.

In Ezk 28:15. Something happened from being a blameless created angel to a fallen angel.  He was the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. (v.12)  You were in the garden.  Now Gen 1:26 - Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule....  Lucifer goes from a highly esteemed position to a lessor position in his eyes.  Yes, Pride goes before the fall.

Lucifer who was anointed and ordain as a guardian cherub took on an attribute that was not his to have.  He became "Jealous" of man who was made a little lower than the angels (himself), and God walking and talking with them, him being the model of perfection.  Ex 34:14 - Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.  God wants to be first in everything.

Lucifer took his eyes off God sometime after man was created.

This is just how see it.

In Christ

Hi, Montana :)

Lucifer fell before the time of Adam and Eve.

Read Gen 1:31 - After the creation of man.  God saw all that he had made, and it was very good; and there was evening and morning - the 6th day.

In Christ

interesting point

allied with:

all part of the same passage of scripture. 'In the beginning'

Yes many leave the foundation of Scripture to claim a creation before Gen 1:1 but that is not in the Bible! The major theological problem with that besides that it is not in The Bible :blink: is God sanctifying death and rebellion on the seventh day...
