    "Satan and his angels in their original creation; the devil, our Lord says, "abode not in the truth", #Joh 8:44 which implies that he had been in the truth, though he continued not in it; in his allegiance and fidelity to God his creator; in his integrity, purity, and holiness, as a creature of veracity;

    but framing lies, he became the father of them.

    What he was in, but abode not in, is the "first estate", of integrity, innocence, and happiness, in which he was created, but kept it not, #Jude 1:6.

    Satan and his fallen Angels, along with Mankind, "abode not", in their, "first estate".

    They were Created, by God, and fell.

    "I Creat evil".

    God Created Creatures that sinned against Him.

    God Did not sin. He can not.

    Saved souls can be Taught that.

    God Created and His Creation became Evil.

    God's Creation, who fell, sinned.

    The issue with Satan and His Angels, with regard to Predestination is that NONE of them were Predestined to Salvation.

    In that same respect, NONE of MANKIND, YOU & I, NOR OUR GRANNY, COULD HAVE BEEN PREDESTINED to SALVATION.

    WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THAT?

    "Leaving us to Go to Hell?"

    That is what God has done to some, to make His Glory known.

    Lost people DO..NOT..LIKE..THAT.."GOD"...

    I agree with the 1689 LBCF, and do not see where it supports that God Himself sinned by authoring evil and sin!

    So do you. You just make yourself the catechism creator and determiner of correct doctrine.

    Actually what you call "hyper" are the true Cals. You are a watered down Cal.

    Meh, @Reynolds is just grumpy because fellow synergists aren't as Arminian as he would like and monergists don't tend to be Arminian. Therefore it's lonely in his world.
    Come to the Light my friend. Come to the Light.

    I think something that gets me is that I was the token wicked scoffers of the Bible five years ago. I mean, don't you remember a period of impossible wickedness followed by faith, the Holy Spirit coming upon you and a forever changed life due to the Gospel?

    Or perhaps thinking you weren't so bad, maybe even good, only to have God's Spirit break in so that your perception changed entirely? How many of the wicked are not proud, self-righteous? Seems even believers struggle with this afterward.
