Divine Damage Control
One of the first questions one might ask oneself concerning the possible existence of ANY GOOD, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Sentient Creator Deity is "HOW did They not know that giving ANY part of Their Sentient Creation FREE WILL was going to naturally result in SOME choosing EVIL over GOOD; and one in particular choosing to let PRIDE rule their heart and to openly REBEL against those parts of the overall PLAN they were aware of; which included the SALVATION of as many of the sentient beings made up of "lesser substance" than they, as possible?"
Unless one has a military background or military training or any interests in military terminology then the concept of "Acceptable Losses," "Collateral Damage," or "DAMAGE Control" may be lost on you. SO...GOOGLE them if you need to. Since I did spend time in the military I'm VERY familiar with their application upon any battlefield.
Now, the GOOD, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Sentient Creator Deity whom, over time, gave me the Faith I now have in their WORD, through constant study OF that WORD, saw the END from the very beginning and ensured the proper physical AND spiritual military actions would be completed so that at the end of the SIXTH day, EVERYTHING and EVERYONE left standing upon the carnal & spiritual battlefield at that time was VERY GOOD.
Huh?
Let me start by identifying that ONE of the defining characteristics of our CREATOR is that they are the LORD\KING\RULER of HOSTS. To lead a VAST army of "extra-terrestrial beings" AND to use them to lend help to Your carnal creation at certain points upon the TEMPORAL realm of existence whenever necessary WITHOUT violating these sentient beings RIGHT to CHOOSE, requires the mind of a MASTER TACTICIAN.
Believe it or not.
Till then.
Shalom!
EDIT - Oops! My paranoid schizophrenic THIRD ex-wife whom I live with and care for was threatening to unplug the Wi-Fi router so I had submit the post above without clarifying what I believe may be an error in the second descriptive link which follows the traditions of men when determining exactly WHEN the angelic hosts were created.
IF you read Genesis 1 which is written in language relatively easy to understand from a PHYSICAL point of view ONLY temporal realities seem to be established, BUT if one looks closely at the statement concerning the difference between LIGHT (The Word) and darkness, you will notice that ONLY the Light is considered by Them and defined as being GOOD.
In my mind, as supported by Paul here (Ephesians 1) this separation of His CHILDREN of LIGHT and the CHILDREN of DARKNESS happened upon Day 1. IF any of the angelic hosts at that point were also being created then those who He already KNEW would choose NOT to rebel OR embrace the coming darkness, would be counted as being a part of the LIGHT of this world.
Believe it or not.
Till then.
Shalom!
