As I have briefly explained in my blog post, the book explains how agency can be destroyed in other ways besides just forcing people to choose good, and it is important for us to be able to identify these methods because Satan still tries to use them today.Michaela Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163084369311708249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-50404987655332034452014-04-05T23:52:03.319-07:002014-04-05T23:52:03.319-07:00 There actually is scripture that Satan’s plan was...

I had some startling realizations about Satan in the temple the other day and thought, "My goodness, people don't understand Satan at ALL." <br /><br />Of course, we don't talk about him a whole lot, other than that he will tempt us to make wrong choices (which is true and doctrinal) and that he wants everyone to be as miserable as he is (which is true and doctrinal) but HOW he got to be "Satan" and what it actually was that he wanted in the council in heaven, and what he actually wanted to accomplish the garden, as well as his understanding of all that are topics that I don't think we fully understand, and I think a better understanding of those concepts can help us in our attempt to understand and use our agency.<br /><br />Thanks for the review - I look forward to reading this book.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667724269493668949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-46855763053487969152012-05-19T10:29:22.715-07:002012-05-19T10:29:22.715-07:00Seems like I read once that there is no Satan'...Seems like I read once that there is no Satan's plan. It was about WHO would do the work that needed to be done and HOW the work would be done. I think it was Millet who said Satan is a Rebel.Becky Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733518903943141370noreply@blogger.com
