Yes, because i thought you glossed over the rest of my reply to pick at only one section.
So you'll ignore it? I can't engage with all the points, I have other shit to do. We could be going in the weeds for eternity. I picked out the meta ones that allow me to explain why your underlying classical liberal framework is wrong and why it's incompatible with Christianity.
So why does God allow the devil and demons to lie and still go around, instead of put something in them that sends them to the lake of fire forever very soon after they tell a lie??
Ok, here comes theology 101.
God created everything good, right? He created the angels in His own image, meaning they like us have free will. They used their free will to rebel against God and fell away from Him, becoming demons. Thus they divorced themselves from God who is life and condemned themselves to the lake of fire (which is how they experience God's presence or absence depending on interpretation).
God doesn't create evil. Evil is uncreated and the logical result of free will.
No disagreement to any part of that, but another question - that would mean like good, evil also always existed. Evil having the attribute of always existing?
Why didn't the enemy "make" it? Apparently evil "came" into existence when the devil rebelled?
My original question here still stands.
