While the replies I am
sharing, here, in the daily blog are simple responses to questions asked by
strangers, they also are manifestations of divinity, and convey the sacred
content that imparts divine life, wisdom and understanding to created beings and
living creatures. Specifically, today, whether GOD loves Satan or not, and the
seeming inconsistency of GOD killing his enemies while commanding believers to
love are topics. The “Yahoo! Answers” writer using ID “agony” (Level 2 with 961

Christians: if god said love thy enemies why doesnt god love satan?
also why did god and his follower kill a bunch of his enemies than? hypocrite much?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. (Ezekiel 28: 12-19, King James Version)

Here are some ideas that may be very new for you: Most mature Christian believers hold a profound idea of divine love that goes beyond GOD merely “feeling” affection, liking someone, craving sexual pleasure, or seeking to “have ones own way. ” Human marriage and mature love relationships teach us that to experience genuine love is to share a single identity and reality of person that goes beyond the physical and material things in life. As surely as every sexual act is more than a physical contact and entails being joined emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually, divine love operates in terms that are also cosmic, and that pertain to continued existence. When your own relationships reveal to you elements of spirit truth, you will probably agree, that the social standards of mankind barely express the full meaning of godly love.
Correctly understood, the issues of supreme accountability, authority, and responsibility do not allow created beings and living creatures to judge and “rate” GOD as the perfect lover, or not. The demands of integrity to the divine nature, obedience and reverence to law, and the perfection of sacred righteousness make it that GOD may not operate as do those he bestows love upon, that is, in ways that are arbitrary, capricious, random and whimsical. For divinity there absolutely must be consistency, discipline, order and systematic expression.
The tool of death is used to accomplish divine purpose, and this includes more than “punishing” those who are alive. At this time, only GOD is eternal. The holy angels, while not mortal, are yet temporal beings. There are many temporal things that, having been applied or used in divine operation, will pass from existence. This is not always because GOD hates or is angry against them. Like an old pair of sox that have been twice mended, created things complete their usefulness, may no longer be repaired without unacceptable cost, must be changed to continue within the sphere of divine presence, and may even have to be totally replaced. Mankind is to complete mortality; and at the close of judgment, in the kingdom to come, there will only be immortal beings.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, at some point in time, there must be the removal and termination of objects that are incapable of response to the divine will, and the divine word, be they living creatures or dead. Sin opposes the existence of GOD and all that GOD has created. Mankind is incapable of eliminating sin because sin is not a carnal, material or physical substance, and in human terms sin does not exist. We know, however, that the will of created beings and living creatures is corrupted and weakened by sin. Through rebirth, men receive aspects of the divine nature that enable men to resist sin, and that renew the human will to righteousness.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
