Who is my brother? NO REALLY
rk12201960:
Here is a twist for us to consider.
Was not satan made to the pleasure of God?
Was he not a liar from the beginning?
Is he not a creation of God?
So in a reason is he not our brother?
Do we curse our brother thus insulting the creator?
He was created for Gods purpose, can we fault him for who he is?
We'll God destroy him for carring out his purpose?
Understand I don't like evil and I feel your pain in here but I think if we look
at this in Gods eyes we can come to a reason to that if I'm correct and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong he will be set free also from sin and evil.
I guess I'm just thinking when evil will be no more needed.
Your thoughts?
In Christ.

Randy,
Great question… Let’s see what the scriptures say:
1Jo 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
2Co 4:4
In whom the god of this world [Satan]hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
While Satan is God’s creation and is working out His divine purpose, He has not yet come to the saving knowledge of Christ, so He is not yet our brother.
Ecc 3:1 & 8
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: …
…A time to love, and a time to hate;…”
Eph 4:27
Neither give place to the devil.
Hope this helps.
Josh
Ps. If you haven’t listened to it yet… Ray has a great audio teaching on “LOVE” in the audio section.

Very good point! You know what I think of Satan, he did not made choice to be liar, deciever, murderer, etc. It was God's choice Satan to be for His own purpose from the begin to end. There is no 'good' in Satan because God did not created him 'good' the first time.
Not much say, but someone will added better than mine. :)

Hello Randy
This question you raise also came to my mind some time ago as I grappled to understand that one does not treat a like minded person the same as one would treat a Pharisee or a hypocrite snake or fool! :D The dividing line I think brings with it discernment and we all have to get there in our path to experience and see the difference between what is evil and what is good!
Great question! Thank you for presenting it!
Peace to you

Chris R:
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.[Gen 1:31]
Yes even Satan was created "very Good" for the purpose in which he was created. It is sometimes hard for us to comprehend the meaning, it is necessary for us to experience evil for a season, We all eat of the tree of good and evil, and we all experience this tree of life, And we will all understand His purpose, each in his own order.
Hope this is of some help
