Without Hell, you wouldn't know the Devil was there. Discuss?

[Gottservant]

Hi there,

So as I do, I am just proposing a thought bubble.

The concept is this: without Hell (Gehenna), we wouldn't even know the Devil was there.

In other words, not only is Hell a relief to the sinner, to the innocent it creates revelation: of the evil that was before the depth of the Devil's sin was known (which it still has not been - let the reader take careful note).

I guess to refute this, you would have to show that the Devil has an excuse for evil, which does not arise from Hell - which naturally he would have, if there was no place by which he could justify evil, which - yes - is self-fulfilling but also (per revelation) also proof that God is not willing that any should perish (not even the Devil, and his (fleeting) desire for evil).

The pay off of this, if you can call it a pay off, is of course, that fools who would otherwise destroy the innocent, confuse themselves with the Devil, as they have opportunity, and so destroy themselves, which is win-win.

I wonder if you realize (immediately) how profound this Wisdom was.

Thoughts?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are trying to convey there.

It's simple: Hell creates a contrast with Creation, that only the Devil would disregard.

So if you see the Devil, its only because you've been in Hell yourself.

If you had no Hell to go to, the Devil would appear and you would think he was more than a friend (a great deception - take note).

Why would he?

What came first Gehenna or evil ? Since Gehenna/ LoF was/is prepared for Satan and his followers as a final place of destruction, there is no requirement for Gehenna without Satan ie. All evil came into existance because of Satan and so did Gehenna/LoF.

As aside Satan does appear to humans as more than a friend (angel of light) while Gehenna/LoF waits to greet him and his followers.

Why would he?

Why would he appear to you?

Because he wants your soul?

And you need to know God, before you can resist him?

As an emotivist would say "Booo! Humbug!" to both the devil and his destinations. After all, thats what shuch an appalling leader deserves. Vote God instead.
