I sat and thought about these questions for a while and came to an answer. The answer is that it doesn’t matter whether God created evil, the angels created evil, or He wanted to get rid of some angels. What would it even matter if there were no such thing as angels and demons at all? If only God existed? Would that change our course, or deter us from our final goal, which is to enter the kingdom of heaven, spend eternity with God, and to take as many people with us as we possibly can? We, as Christians, are called to be as Christ-like as we can, and even though we can not attain this goal (for is we did then we would mock Jesus’ death), we should constantly strive to reach it. I sometimes wonder if I should even be here, telling you that you shouldn’t really care about these things, even though I am writing a full blown essay about such things. I wonder if I am wasting breath every time I think or say something that attempts to describe love, death, life after death, God’s plans, or scientifically attempt to prove that God created the world, and that the Garden of Eden truly did exist. We need to accept that there are some things in this world that we as humans are not intended to understand, comprehend or even imagine. If everyone in this world knew for a scientific fact that God had created the earth, and that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day, then the entire bearing of faith, our trust in God to believe in what he has told us to believe in, and to do so with out asking questions, dissolves into a demand, that we acknowledge Him so that we may enter the kingdom of heaven. For God does not want our acknowledgement, but rather our love, and not a love that is forced or predetermined by facts, or by a sense of obligation to escape Hell, but a love that we decide to give on our own, and that we would not only be willing to die, but to live for Him.
