God does, indeed, know us, “He knows the secrets of the heart.” Psalm 44:21. God also says He declares “the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done…” Isaiah 46:10 Yet, we still have a free will. God’s living [...]

Yes. Originally, as God created him, he was holy, pure, grand of character and of a high order of angelic nature, a "covering cherub" (Ezekiel 28:16). His name was Lucifer, meaning "Day Star." According to the Bible, of his own free will, he became Satan, meaning adversary or [...]
