But the Lord said
Go to the Devil, the Lord said

                That is NOT what God made Hallel (orignial name, do some research) for.  You see, people get the idea God is omniscient.  First of all, I'm not saying he's not all-knowing, but that depends on people's definitions of all-knowing?  Where does it specifically say God is omniscient to the point where he knows everything that's going to happen?  That's a word man used to describe God.  Saying God is omniscient means he gives no free will to people, in a sense.  Now, I want you to think of the Metallica album "Master of Puppets."  Who's that represent?  In the song, drugs.  But rel;igioussly: the devl.  Saying God controls us is horrible.

God made an archangel with free will. But God had never seen evil before. When Lucifer rebelled, God had to alter his plan for man. This may sound heathenous, but why would anyone think God would create an evil being, or create someone while knowing that creation would turn evil?

God di not make the devil. He made free will, and he made ther archangel, but he did not make evil. The devil is the king of liars, and other nicknames hint at the devil creating evil, and not God. God is not the father o the devil.

In fact, the Holy Bible tells us the timelines of Adam's three sons. But only two of them: Seth and Abel, were called descendants of God. Cain was expelled from the God family.
