I must say, I am thoroughly enjoying the discussion. Theos has brought up some pertinent points that have been, in my opinion, avoided. Although in all fairness I must say that this could very possibly be a lack of clarification. In other words, in many discussions the terms, or definitions of things, must be clearly delineated or there will be cross talk and much miscommunication. For instance, what might happen in this dialogue were we to define evil before trying to discuss what it is? Just a thought.
The subject line of this post though, "The one question unanswered," is what is on my mind. Through the course of this thread there has been a question that was touched on very briefly, and since that time has been ignored. There has been much talk of the tree, Adam and Eve, and whether God is indeed the author of sin (calamity) or not, but what of Lucifer and the angels who followed?
1. Did God know and/or ordain their fall (the angels)?
2. When did this happen?
I would be interested in any thoughts on this subject.
