>> Hello again Brent. <<

hi alan.

>> Are you ignoring my questions? <<

as a matter of fact i am. you are a prisoner held hostage by your literalistic approach to scripture. i really don't desire to spend a lot of time debating the greek meaning of aion and such. perhaps in the future, but for the time being i want to focus on some other areas.

as for your question regarding satan being a liar and a sinner from the beginning, there is a simple explanation for this. the scripture is referring to the beginning of human creation in this world, not the beginning of satan's own creation.

you simply assume 'beginning' to mean satan's beginning.
