Dear Dan: I've made a copy for study tonight of your well thought out post. Thank you so much. A brief comment just to keep this conversation going about >>>I wonder if a non-believer gives satan access to God to accuse because the non-believer has no " Parakletos" ? <<< I have always felt there is a fine line of distinction about God being a judge over fallen man. And as a very superficial explanation as to the oft quoted phrase 'how can a loving God send fallen mankind to an eternal hell.' Here is my way of looking at it. What God finds fallen mankind guilty of is transgression of the Law. Therefore, it is the Law that condemns and not God realizing, of course that the Law is Gods. However this helps me to retain my view that God is still loving and most definitely will send fallen mankind to an eternal punishment. But I feel we may be in the same camp. Before the law most definitely I can see that satan would be the accuser. Else , who else would it be to lie,and concoct charges against. Even, before Christ, during the OT Law, there was the need for justice, mercy ,punishment. I can see the need for an accuser where the punishment and stipulations in the law were harsh. However, after Christ. Why the need for an accuser. Fallen mankind is already dead, already guilty of transgression of the whole law, all of it. Why kick a dead horse. Where is the need ? Even when we consider that there may possibly be the need for an accuser at the final judgement where degrees of punishment and degrees of reward will be meted out , why even the need there for an accuser for at that point satan will have already been cast into the lake of fire himself; and the judgement will be totally in God's hands at that point. Well, just a little more food for thought. I'll do some dd on your post tonight. Thanks again in Christ.gregor
