@hopewithholly: I grew up in church being told that God created humans because angels didn’t have free will… and He wanted beings who could choose to love Him. But then I actually read the Bible. And it says a third of the angels rebelled. Hold on… How do you rebel… without free will? That alone should make you pause. But it gets worse. We’re told Satan caused rebellion. But Satan hadn’t fallen yet. So where did the first rebellious thought come from? Because if nothing evil existed yet… then that desire had to come from somewhere. Either: • God created beings capable of rebellion • Or rebellion came from outside of God And both of those create problems. And here’s the part nobody talks about: If angels are literally in the presence of a perfect, all-powerful God… seeing Him fully… experiencing His glory… Why would anyone rebel? That’s like standing in front of the sun and choosing darkness. It doesn’t make sense. And this is what happens when you go from being told the Bible… to actually studying it. You start realizing: A lot of what we were taught… isn’t actually in the text. It’s explanations layered on top to make the story feel more coherent than it actually is. #exfundie #deconstruction #exvangelical
As a Christian i learned that the Bible is not meant to be just read. It’s meant to be researched, especially when it’s been TRANSLATED & TRANSLITERATED. Meaning what we interpret in English may not be what was implied in Greek, Aramaic, & Hebrew. You HAVE TO not only reference the original language of the text, but also reference historical & cultural context.

That just peaked my brain into another question: if the angels didn’t want to be in heaven, wtf would I want to be there?

He didn’t create sin….he created ENERGY. Evil is negative energy. Good is positive energy. All of the universe is made from energy. & I honestly feel like everyone’s energy is being syphoned

I read the bible the same way you do with a lot of critical thinking and then we start asking all this questions.

Reading the Bible for myself really taught me that people interpret it differently. The way I interpreted a lot of what I read is not the way it was taught to me growing up.

Angels have free will, but it’s not the same as human free will we have the ability to rebel and come back when they rebel they have no way to come back because they already knew and were there

hear where you’re coming from these questions about angels, free will, and suffering are really hard. I was taught angels did have free will at first, which is why rebellion was possible, but I respect that people learn different things in church

Whenever you try to understand who God is and why he created everything or question why he does what he does you’ll get stuck bc we human aren’t cable of understanding it but if we talk to Him he can choose to reveal it to us that’s why we get to choose to follow him or not
