An answer...Finally.

Personal Reflection:

Well, I've been thinking back a few Bible studies I had a while ago. I remember it was about the things the devil (satan) doesn't want you to know bout him. Actually, I don't remember all the points. But I learned that Satan is "limited" in power:
1) He is not everywhere at once
2) He does not have all the power in the world
3) He can't hear what we say in our prayers
4) He has limited knowledge about us unlike God.

I can never understand why "Satan" couldn't be happy enough worshiping God. I wouldn't find more joy in heaven doing anything else than worshiping God. I don't understand why satan could just get jealous of God. How could Satan have turned out the way he is to begin with. Cuse i always thought....heaven was a sinless place. How did sin enter the Kingdom of Heaven?. Even though I no....Adam & Eve may have been the first to fall into temptation and sin.....but it was because they were tempted by the devil. But I really always wonder why and how the devil/satan could just turn away from God in the first place. Like, if it weren't for that.......the world wouldn't be the way it is right now. There would be no hell....and maybe, we might still be in the Garden of Eden..lol.

Bernard finally answered me on that one (actually, i asked this about...2 yrs ago lol):

K, i have a few things to add to that actually:

- How did sin enter the kingdom of heaven?
- Satan had become jealous, and he was filled with pride.
- Is being jealous, and prideful a sin?
- yes (it usually follows through with action)
- So how did satan sin in the first place? I thought heaven was a place of no sin. (this is where i learned something new)
- In the very beginning, even angels were able to sin. So heaven was NOT a sinless place back then.
- But I thought God made everything perfect?
- If angels could not sin, there would be no free will would there?...God created angels also, they are servants of God, but they too have a choice...just like us.
- So if we go to heaven, we can also sin too?...since we're given free will.
- I don't know if you've ever looked at it this way, but when ppl mention freedom, most think that it is the free will to do anything. But have you tried thinking of it this way, that you are "free from something", instead of being free to do wutever. In this case, we are freed from sin. So therefore, we will never sin in heaven, because we have been freed from it. It wouldn't really be an option to sin. And therefore, we are living in a sinless heaven, and be perfect...in a way.
- Also, in the "new" heaven...(not the one b4, in the beginning) it will be a perfect place, a sinless place. Ever since God sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, we have been freed...and made sinless when we enter the kingdom of heaven.
- OHHHHHHhhhh icccccc....thnx!

hope i got every point....
