Satan's Fall

 The Question:  What do you think of "Satan's Backbone?"  

Satan's backbone, and the ideas behind it, are a lie.  

There are Spiritual Laws.  God is a Judge.  God judges sin and nations in particular ways.  Satan, as an angel, he had a function.  He had a function around "What is The Light?"  God is a jealous God.  God tests the hearts of man.  Satan had a function testing men's hearts.  Satan, as an Angel, was not evil.  

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."  (Isaiah 45:7)

The Song of Songs is in the Bible as an allegory for God's love of Israel or the Church.  Man is the head, he is a decision maker.  Woman is the neck turning the head. She influences decision making.

•   Woman would like a husband.  She is going to a social gathering.  She dresses really nice.  She was looking to turn some heads.  
• Husband and wife are sitting out on the porch.  Husband turns to his wife and asks "Where would you like to eat tonight?"  She says "I don't know."  She says I don't know a lot when he asks this question.  She was testing him, looking for him to make a decision.  
• Husband and wife are laying in bed.  Wife says "I am cold."  What does "I am cold" mean?  Does it mean get another blanket?  Does it mean turn the thermostat up?  Does it mean "Put your arms around me dummy."  She must think her husband is a mind reader?  

Man is the head, woman the neck turning the head.  She influences decision making.  On another level, Israel or the Church was like God's wife.  They influenced decision making.  Good children may have received good presents on Christmas day.  Bad children may have been beaten with a rod till they cried.   

 God controls everything.  There are spiritual rules or laws.  There are particular ways God judges.  Did people desire the good things and blessings from God, or bad things and misery?  Given man was in sin, God may have lifted away his hand of protection, and allowed demons and fallen angels to do their thing.  Man has freedom of choice.  

Why was Satan thrown from heaven, and why was their a rebellion?  God rules through charisma.  His law is perfect.  Even the Angels choose to follow God.  David, prior to being King, he was a leader of a warband.  Through charisma and victories, great warriors may have chosen to join David's war band. In a similar way, God rules through charisma.  

Satan was able to trick man into sin, and felt entitled.  From Original Sin, God created a plan to bring all mankind back under him.  God ended up defeating Satan, in a legal way, on some technicalities through The Lord Jesus Christ.  Satan feeling entitled, he started a rebellion.  Satan was thrown from heaven.  

The Devil's Backbone, as many people have perceived it, it is a lie.
