plagued Egypt. I personally destroyed all that Job cherished. I did all this because God told me too. I never wavered from my duties.

Lucifer led a different army. His army was there to tempt and influence. God believed in balance. With good, there is evil, this is God's way. This is free will. God created well and evil, we all must remember this. When asked by Gabriel why have evil, god replied as he always did, why do you call it evil? Why do you call it good? Is it not choice?' this is why I loved him.

Lucifer whispered in the ears of Man. Lucifer pushed men to do horrible things. Lucifer tempted and often succeeded, this is what went to Lucifer's head.

His role as the Tempter of Men gave him and insight that he believed defined the absence of grace in man. God's decision to give him to them was flawed. Lucifer was the first to sin against God's will.

The Son of God was more than a man was. It was obvious in his nature how pure and good He was. I watched the boy turn into the man and marveled in his absolute devotion to his fellow men, his teachings, his empathy and his determination. He was God on earth and I loved him.
