Yet More Unorthodoxy
It's just another small speculative step from here into real problems.
If Satan were created good, he must have gone bad, which means he was created imperfectly, which is obviously God's fault.
If it is the case that Satan's nature is evil, then God must have made him thusly, for he could not overcome his created nature to become what he wasn't, any more than gold could turn itself into clay.
I mean, I'm sure no one intends to be Satan's apologist but these speculations lead to some pretty thorny issues which are probably more than we can handle here during amateur hour.
I think someone has previously contended that Lee's doctrinal problems originated in unfamiliarity with orthodoxy. Well, what's good for the goose is good for the gander....
