Satan
1 Answers
In a previous question posed by Stevie1time, which referred to selling one's soul to the devil........it got me wondering. In his answer to the post, Teddio tells us that Lucifer was only second in line to God, higher than angels etc etc.
If this was so, then why did he go 'bad' ? If it is so fantastic, wonderful and beautiful in heaven, why would Lucifer want to throw a spanner in the works?
Christians spend all their earthly life trying to ensure their place in heaven for all the reasons above, so what was it about heaven that wasn't 'ultimate' enough for Lucifer?

Firstly, Lucifer is not Satan, although for several centuries they were seen as one and the same. Note that many modern bibles have rectified this.
The sin he was cast out of heaven for was to believe he was god's equal. 1/3 of the heavenly host were sent with him to earth.
The Book of Enoch is where you need to go for the full story, it's apocryphal and was omitted from the bible.
