Of Satan’s lies in the world of religion, the greatest are these: there is a place of eternal, physical and/or mental pain, or extinction, and that we have a free will to choose whether we will end up there, or not. These two lies feed on each other; if you have one you have to have the other. This is according to the nature, purpose and works of our Heavenly Father by whom these lies, and Satan, exist.

God is “I AM;” the self existent one; the “Alpha and Omega;” the beginning and end of all things, the first and the last. ”For the invisible things if Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal Godhead.”(Rom 1:20) “By whom we live, move and have our being.”(Acts 17:28) Of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things (Rom 11:32) and many, many more. God is infinite; therefore, His power, wisdom and love are infinite and cannot contradict themselves nor can they be separated. His infinite power is driven by His infinite love and is directed by His infinite wisdom.

God cannot eternally hate anything because it would put a limit on His love, which would lesson His power to love and would question His claim to be wise. Therefore there must be a reason the bible says that He hated certain people like Cain and others who dealt in unrighteousness and sin.  This reason is ‘redemption’. If we did nothing wrong, we couldn’t be forgiven for doing something wrong and God couldn’t show us His love to the greatest degree possible. Romans 11:32 says “He has concluded all in sin that He might have mercy on all”, therefore, in order for Jesus to be “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Romans 7:13 says of the law: “that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful”. Romans 8: 20-21 says “For the creature was made subject to vanity (free will), not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”.

God could not create something He cannot control or maintain. That would limit His power and questions His wisdom. The sun, moon and stars are there because their existence, energy and movement were created by Him and are under His control and maintenance. The Earth, Heaven, Hell, the angels, man, birds, fish,
