Pride is what made him rebel, and yes he knows he's defeated.

So you stated that it was your choice not to follow... how then is God losing the battle if He wants only those who choose Him?
Awesome!

Some people you could talk to twentyfourseven and they still might not get it.

I always had the thought that entering Heaven we would lose all..
Emotions like Pride,Lust,Envy,etc and become Pure.
That you would have to be made pure to remain in Heaven.
I guess thats part of what confused me about Satan and others..
Choosing to rebel.

Yes we will, but remember we are made in God's image, satan is not. We (Christians) have a personal relationship with God, satan does not.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too! Why is it that so often WeMeetAgain around the same subject? It's almost like we're Condemned to repeat the same things over and over.

Yes, I'm not the only poor soul he has lost, is losing and will lose, right? The overwhelming majority of mankind then, now, and to come will be forever roasting in the lake of fire (if you're of Fundamentalist's position) or will be restored (if you're of the universalist position) to be bored to tears at an eternal church service of butt kissing.

He's not losing anyone.

He wants those who choose Him.

The devil and his followers are the ones who are losing.

You see! I knew it! I keep telling folks God started the Job drama. He authored the whole darn thing which resulted in Job being a pawn in a game of chess, boils, dead children and old fart of a wife and all.

You know, that is a VERY good one. I gotta admit it gave me a chuckle.

Ahh...the stories told around the CD campfires, I'm sure.
