What was God doing before he created the Earth?In the Bible in Revelation chapter 12, it speaks of a war in Heaven where Lucifer subverted 1/3 of God’s angels to side with him against God; in Isaiah ch 14 it says Lucifer wanted Father God’s Throne and to depose Father God. Lucifer had set his mind against God and holiness and demanded worship, was refused, was judged unfit for Heaven and his name changed to Satan, the liar and murderer from then onward. The fact that humans were to be created in the image of the three members of the Godhead members inflamed Satan envy and jealousy further.Satan seeks to match army against army, and war breaks out in Heaven.God was organizing / directing the loyal angels, who were fighting Lucifer/Satan and the 1/3 of Heaven’s former population, as these had become traitor angels whom Lucifer subverted and the military coup attempt that followed. Once the traitor angels were expelled, then Earth and our solar system was created, and Adam & Eve warned about Satan. In their perfection they could successfully resist Satan’s temptations in their own strength.God was managing a heavily populated universe, that Lucifer had confused by his lies and politics, now a Heaven waging a knock down drag out war at least from Satan’s side of things, and a solar system and sentient species on schedule to be created, and now threatened by the entrance of sin and rebellion entering the universe for the first time.Satan saw the confusion he was creating and saw it as opportunity to throw sand in the gears of God’s government before the gaze of the universe, and provoke God to loose it, and substantiate his claims of being a tyrant, by loosing His temper and start throwing overwhelming power around and start obliterating the rebels. Then the universe would side with Satan and they all would fight against God.Read about it in the ebooks embedded in my blog TenBookBucketList .Ellen G.

No argument against those already mentioned. One of my favorites is Arthur Schopenhauer. Here is a sampler of his ideas:For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.Compassion is the basis of all morality.Every nation ridicules other nations, and all are right.Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world.If we were not all so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting that none of us would be able to endure it.If we weren't all so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting we couldn't endure it.Noise is the most impertinent of all forms of interruption. It is not only an interruption, but is also a disruption of thought.Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.The amount of noise which anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse proportion to his mental capacity.The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost care and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten.We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.***Excerpts from Parerga and Paralipomena, Selected Essays.
