The Fall
God immediately judges the souls and spirits of all humans following their physical deaths. Hebrew 9:27. Christ allows the souls and spirits of all humans saved by His grace to go immediately to heaven. Christ can only consign the souls and spirits of the rest of humanity to one of the three regions of death called the Sea, Death, and Hell because they did not repent and believe in Him while still alive in the flesh. Revelation 20:13. But God does not give up on these dead humans. God has devised a plan whereby He will reawaken their dormant faith still within their living souls and spirits that He put into them when He created them. Romans 12:3. In a great worship service as recorded in Revelation 5:11-14, God will cause the souls and spirits of all humans within the regions of the dead to choose of their own free will to return to active faith in the Lamb of God who will take away their sins and evil. Because Christ left all of their sins and evil behind in Hell when He rose from the dead, God will be able to use His consuming fire, which burns into Hell, to separate the living souls and spirits of every human within the regions of the dead from their spiritual deaths for Him to recreate their souls and spirits with new bodies to live on His recreated earth and consign their spiritual deaths to the lake of fire forever. God is able to cleanse and forgive all sins, but He must purge all evil from His universe forever. Deuteronomy 32:22; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12.
The Lord described the difference between sin and evil in Numbers 15:22-36. Sin always happens because of ignorance; that is, weakness in the free will of the human soul and spirit. The good life and spirit that God gave to man has become stained by the influence of a foreign evil that the Devil has injected into man's being. Isaiah 64:6. God always cleanses and forgives sins because every human will eventually repent and offer either a blood sacrifice to be saved by grace or a burnt offering sacrifice to be saved by His consuming fire. All of the sin offerings of the Old Testament symbolize salvation by grace, and all of the burnt offerings symbolize salvation by God's consuming fire. God always forgives even the worst evil that a human can commit because his repentance and faith in God his Savior triggers the compassion of God for his weakness that caused that sin. Even a human's desire to be rid of his sin and be reconciled to God becomes a righteous act. But God will separate the spiritual deaths of all humans within the regions of the dead that caused them to sin by the use of His consuming fire and cast them into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15. God will cleanse and forgive all sins of all humans saved by His grace with the blood and water that flowed from Jesus on the cross, and He will cast their sins into the Sea of forgetfulness which He will also eliminate. Micah 7:19; Revelation 21:1. God will completely annul the spiritual deaths of all humans saved by grace. John 5:24; John 11:26; Galatians 2:20.
Evil always results from an absolute refusal to repent and return to faith in God's Love. Matthew 12:31-32. Even the slightest sin, such as picking up sticks on the Sabbath, becomes totally evil and spiritually dead if that sinner refuses to offer either a blood sacrifice or a burnt offering for his cleansing and forgiveness. Numbers 15:32-36. Evil results from a deliberate and willful sin that emerges from the rebellious side of man's nature. God cannot cleanse and forgive evil because it exists in a constant state of rebellion, but He can through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ permanently purge it from the lives of all humans and from all of His creations forever. Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Hebrews 2:9; Romans 8:18-23; Revelation 21:1-5; Colossians 1:15-23. All through the Bible (KJB), the Word of God makes a clear distinction between sin and evil and between transgressions and iniquity. No verse in the Bible states that God will ever cast living souls into the lake of fire. Worms are not human. Mark 9:44, 46, 48; Isaiah 66:24.

The World and the Word
The Fall
God revealed His and Satan's plans for all of humanity in the first book of the Bible that God caused to be written, the book of Job. Job and his comforters symbolize the entire human race. God allowed Satan to cause Job to suffer to the worst degree possible. But God did not allow Satan to take Job's life which symbolizes the fact that God will not allow Satan to permanently claim the good life that God created and put into every human even if Satan tortures humans to the utmost.
Satan believed that he could cause Job to suffer so horribly because of evil that even Job's good life would finally become so overwhelmed by evil that he would finally just "curse God and die." Job 2:9. Satan sought the permanent death of the good life of Job to prove that God's Love can fail. But God had put a faith in the good life of Job that cannot fail, and God has put that faith into the good lives of every human He has created. Genesis 1:31; Romans 12:3; I Corinthians 13:8.
God has proven that despite man's suffering, the Devil will never succeed in annulling man's good life in the image of God that He created. The Devil believed that he could use the weakness in man's free will to cause such terrible suffering to man that he would finally completely surrender to evil to the extent that God's good life in man would become totally evil and dead and lost from God forever. Should the Devil succeed in his plan, he would win his war with God, eventually murder Him, and take control of His universe. John 8:44.
The Devil seeks to annul a part of God's good creations, the good lives of mankind. But God, in His infinite Love and Wisdom, has devised a plan whereby He will return every human's good life that He created to faith in Him of their own free will. All humans would certainly lose their war with the Devil and evil if God did not intervene in history to save them. God's Love came to the rescue of mankind. God will prove that the weakness in man's free will that caused evil to become a part of his being will never cause the permanent death of his life and faith. John 12:47; Luke 9;56.
God knew that man cannot overcome evil on his own. Evil will eventually overpower and annul the good life in man unless God intervened in man's behalf. God became a sinless man in order to suffer man's eternal death in man's place and remove the sin and evil that will cause that permanent death. God allowed His perfect Son to be nailed to a cruel cross to suffer the sin and evil and permanent death of all mankind in his place. God proved that His Love is far more powerful than that of sin and evil and permanent death. II Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 2:9.
The Devil believed that if Christ suffered the entire weight of all of the sins and evil of all mankind, then that would be enough to murder even God and cause His permanent death. The blood and water that flowed from Jesus on the cross washed away all of the sins and evil of all living humans who would believe in Him while still alive in the flesh. Being thus cleansed and saved by grace, they could never suffer permanent death. Revelation 1:5. When Christ died, His Spirit descended into hell to leave behind there the sins and evil of the rest of humanity confined within the regions of death. When Christ arose immaculate from the dead, He had cleansed and saved the good lives of the entire human race. John 12:47; I John 3:8; Hebrews 2:17; Hebrews 2:14-15.
Because His Spirit is innocent, pure, and Holy, God the Father would not allow Him to remain in hell. Psalm 16:10. Christ's Spirit rose from hell to be rejoined to His sinless body completely victorious over sin, evil, and eternal death. Romans 5:10; Colossians 1:15-23.

The World and the Word
The Fall
The worst sin that any living souls can commit is the refusal to repent of their sins to God. God will never forgive that sin. Matthew 12:31-32. That sin becomes totally evil and adheres to spiritual death which God will separate from every living soul within the regions of the dead and cast into the lake of fire in the end of the world. Revelation 20:15. This refusal will cause God to have to judge these living souls, still filthy with sin and evil, to one of the three regions of the dead following their physical deaths. Hebrews 9:27. But God will still love these living souls, and He will provide a means whereby every one of them will choose to repent and become reconciled with God. Revelation 5:11-14. In the end of the world, God will use His consuming fire to separate His repentant living souls from their spiritual deaths which He will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15. Every type of Old Testament sacrifice had a symbolic meaning. The sin offering symbolized salvation by grace, but Exodus 29:14 clearly teaches that the burnt offering was also a type of sin offering. Moses prophesied in Deuteronomy 32:22 that God's consuming fire will burn into hell in the end of the world to destroy all evil. But God has also promised in Revelation 20:5 that He will resurrect His living souls, and in Revelation 21:5 that He will recreate everything that He originally created.
Because all life depends on that which grows from the ground, then all of God's creations became partly evil because they absorbed evil from the cursed ground. But the day will come when God will use His consuming fire to burn up the heavens and the earth, purge all taints of evil from them, and recreate them to be wholly righteous. This recreation must include the living souls of all mankind raised from their graves because God has promised in Revelation 21:5: "Behold, I make all things new." God created all things, including the living souls of all mankind. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38. All of the Old Testament burnt offering sacrifices symbolized God's power to consume all evil by the use of His consuming fire, separate His repentant living souls from that dead evil, and cast all spiritual deaths into the lake of fire forever. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Deuteronomy 32:22; Leviticus 4:31; Revelation 20:11-15; II Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 20:5; Romans 8:18-23.
God did not curse Adam and Eve because He still loved their living souls that He had created and put into them. God cursed the Devil because he had ruined the innocence of Adam and Eve and had injected evil into their beings which caused them to sin. God prophesied to the Devil and to Adam and Eve that one day in the future He would use a seed of the woman only to bring a Savior of humanity into the world. The Devil would be able to use evil to cause that Savior to suffer, but that Savior would crush the head of the Devil and purge all evil from all of His creations. God would not use the seed of the man because his seed coupled with the seed of the woman transmits evil from one generation to the next. But God could use an innocent virgin coupled with a seed from the Holy Spirit to bring Himself into the world as His sinless Son who would be the Lamb of God who would take away all sin and evil from the world. Matthew 1:20-25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:29; John 12:47; Hebrews 2:14-15; I John 3:8; I Corinthians 15:21-22; I Corinthians 15:26. Living humans are created by God. They are not the work of the Devil. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 30:6.
God could no longer allow Adam and Eve to remain in their blissful garden. God had to cast them out into the ruined world where they would have to combat sin and evil through pain and labor. They would suffer for their sins, but only temporarily. God Himself would come to earth to rescue them and all mankind from the danger of eternal death. Christ would take that eternal death upon Himself on a cruel cross. Hebrews 2:9.
God allowed Adam and Eve and the rest of humanity to suffer because of evil in order to test His Love for His creations. God could not summarily abolish evil from His universe because that would allow doubt about His Love to remain, and wherever there is doubt there exists the likelihood that evil will emerge again and again, probably forever. God had to devise a plan to purge sin and evil from His creations once and for all time. God had to prove that His gift of free will could never be used by the Devil to annul any part of His creations no matter how much it had to suffer. But God has promised that He will make a short work on the earth. Romans 9:28.
The worst sin that any living souls can commit is the refusal to repent of their sins to God. God will never forgive that sin. Matthew 12:31-32.

The World and the Word
The Fall
Adam and Eve had come to know good and evil, and they became ashamed of themselves. Like small children, they had been innocent in their nakedness, but now they could see that their innocence was ruined, and they made clothes of fig leaves to try to hide their shame. But they could not hide their shame from God by trying to hide in the garden.
Adam and Eve had now become both good and evil in their beings. They still retained their good, living image of God that He had created them to be, but they had also now acquired evil in their beings which is the same as spiritual death. They tried to cover that spiritual death with fig leaves, but found it useless. They had no power to save themselves. If no one helped them, then eventually that evil within them that caused them to sin would completely overpower their living souls and spirits until they would become totally evil and lost from God's fellowship forever. The Devil counted on annulling their good, living souls in order to prove that God can lose a part of His creations that He loves so much. But God's Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14. Sin had caused evil to enter into their beings, but once there, evil caused them to unavoidably sin.
When God came to visit them, as He usually did in the evening, He called them out from their hiding place and asked them if they had sinned. God already knew that they had sinned, but He wanted them to confess it before Him. While the man blamed the woman, and she blamed the serpent, they did not deny that they had sinned. But the fact that they each blamed the other also demonstrated that they desired to be rid of their sin and evil and return to the innocent fellowship with God that they had enjoyed before they sinned. In their confession, they took the first step to become reconciled with God. They humbled themselves to God, and their desire to return to fellowship with Him demonstrated their repentance.
God did not blame the man or the woman for their sin after they repented. God cursed the Devil because he had deliberately ruined the innocence of Adam and Eve which was a horribly evil thing to do. The most horrible criminals on earth are those who abuse the innocence of children. God also cursed the ground because evil had come from the bottomless pit partly located within the earth. God also created the Sea for the best of the spiritual dead. God created Hell for the worst of the spiritual dead, but none of the regions of the dead exist as a permanent place for the living souls that God created and loves. God put faith into the living souls of every human. Romans 12:3. That faith may be dormant in atheists and the worst humans, but it is there nevertheless. God's plan is to reawaken that faith in every human in order to save them, some by His grace and all others in a general resurrection in the end of the world. In this general resurrection, God will raise the living from the dead. God will cast the spiritual dead and Hell and Death into the lake of fire, and He will eliminate the Sea by another means. God will recover all of His living souls from the regions of the dead because He will reveal Himself to them in a great worship service that will start in heaven. Revelation 5:11-14. God knows that when they see Him, they will all become so overpowered by their knowledge of His Love for them that they all will choose to repent and return to faith in Christ their Savior. God will recreate His living souls with new bodies to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Isaiah 45:21-24; Joel 2:28-29; Philippians 2:9-11; II Timothy 4:1; John 5:28-29.

The World and the Word
The Fall
God created Adam and Eve with souls and spirits by which they could enjoy fellowship with God. The soul contains the seat of free will, intelligence, personality, and emotions. God created Adam and Eve on the seventh day because Genesis 2:7 does not mention a return to the sixth day. The pre-Adamic race had a consciousness of God but not intelligence and free will. On the sixth day, God had already scattered the pre-Adamic race over the whole earth. Genesis 1:26-31.
Satan noticed that God had given Adam and Eve free will. Satan thought that God had made a big mistake by giving Adam and Eve free will. Satan also noticed that God greatly loved Adam and Eve. Satan thought that he could use their free will against them, that he could cause their living souls and spirits to become so vile and rebellious against God that they would never repent, and God would have to completely reject them because their souls and spirits would be spiritually dead forever. In other words, Satan desired to turn a part of God's good creations to total evil. Job 2:9. The Devil believed that if he could cause God to lose something that He loved, then he could prove that God's Love is not Almighty, obtain an advantage over God, murder Him, and take control of His universe. Isaiah 14:12-17; John 8:44.
Little did Satan know that he was playing right into God's plans. Lucifer's rebellion had cast a pall of doubt about God's Love for all of His creations. That doubt had already caused one third of God's angels to rebel against Him. God knew in Himself that His Love was Almighty, but He had to test it for the sake of the doubts in His creations. God planned to use the free will of Adam and Eve to prove that even though they could fall into sin and evil, God had the Almighty Love and Power to intervene in human history to prove His Love on a cruel cross in order to cause every living human that He had ever created to one day return of their own free will to faith in Him so that He could reconcile them all to Himself. I Corinthians 13:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14; John 3:16; Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9; Colossians 1:15-23; Revelation 21:5.
Satan began his evil plans by tempting Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve had a weakness in their free will that could cause them to sin against God. This weakness was not God's fault. God knows only Infinite Truth and Goodness. God had no idea that free will could be misused to invent false systems called sin. God exists in a state of Holy Innocence. Free will was not a weakness in God's attributes because He only knows goodness, but it was a weakness in His creations because evil forces saw that they could exploit it. The weakness in Lucifer's free will that caused his rebellion entered into him from a nonexistent place of absolute nothingness that God came to call the bottomless pit. God could use the idea of nothing in His creations, but He knew absolutely nothing about absolute nothingness. Evil consciousnesses called devils from the bottomless pit remains a complete mystery to positive consciousness, even God's, because no positive consciousness can even begin to understand it. II Thessalonians 2:7. Lucifer, influenced by devils, became a negative consciousness called Satan even after God had subtracted every good idea that He had put into his system, even the idea of nothing. Ezekiel 28:13-19; Isaiah 40:17; Job 10:21-22; Revelation 20:3.
Satan tempted Eve and she fell into sin simply because she could choose to do so. But the presence of sin in her living soul caused the Devil to be able to inject pure evil and rebellion into her being as well. Sin resulted from free will, but evil is foreign to humans. This evil in her caused her to commit an act of deliberate rebellion against God when she willfully and selfishly gave the forbidden fruit to her husband just because she wanted him to be ruined as well. God would have forgiven her if she had repented of her sin because her weakness caused it, but God had a plan to purge her spiritual death because that would cause her eternal separation from His Love forever. Hebrews 2:9; I Corinthians 15:26.
Eve gave the forbidden fruit to Adam and he also ate it. God could have forgiven Adam's sin because he was partly motivated by his love for Eve. But Satan also injected evil into Adam's being because Adam knew full well that he had deliberately disobeyed God. I Timothy 2:14. Adam also acted selfishly because he was afraid he would lose his physical love with Eve.
God created Adam and Eve with souls and spirits by which they could enjoy fellowship with God. The soul contains the seat of free will, intelligence, personality, and emotions. God created Adam and Eve on the seventh day because Genesis 2:7 does not mention a return to the sixth day. The pre-Adamic race had a consciousness of God but not intelligence and free will. On the sixth day, God had already scattered the pre-Adamic race over the whole earth. Genesis 1:26-31.
Satan noticed that God had given Adam and Eve free will. Satan thought that God had made a big mistake by giving Adam and Eve free will. Satan also noticed that God greatly loved Adam and Eve. Satan thought that he could use their free will against them, that he could cause their living souls and spirits to become so vile and rebellious against God that they would never repent, and God would have to completely reject them because their souls and spirits would be spiritually dead forever. In other words, Satan desired to turn a part of God's good creations to total evil. Job 2:9. The Devil believed that if he could cause God to lose something that He loved, then he could prove that God's Love is not Almighty, obtain an advantage over God, murder Him, and take control of His universe. Isaiah 14:12-17; John 8:44.
Little did Satan know that he was playing right into God's plans. Lucifer's rebellion had cast a pall of doubt about God's Love for all of His creations. That doubt had already caused one third of God's angels to rebel against Him. God knew in Himself that His Love was Almighty, but He had to test it for the sake of the doubts in His creations. God planned to use the free will of Adam and Eve to prove that even though they could fall into sin and evil, God had the Almighty Love and Power to intervene in human history to prove His Love on a cruel cross in order to cause every living human that He had ever created to one day return of their own free will to faith in Him so that He could reconcile them all to Himself. I Corinthians 13:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14; John 3:16; Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9; Colossians 1:15-23; Revelation 21:5.
Satan began his evil plans by tempting Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve had a weakness in their free will that could cause them to sin against God. This weakness was not God's fault. God knows only Infinite Truth and Goodness. God had no idea that free will could be misused to invent false systems called sin. God exists in a state of Holy Innocence. Free will was not a weakness in God's attributes because He only knows goodness, but it was a weakness in His creations because evil forces saw that they could exploit it. The weakness in Lucifer's free will that caused his rebellion entered into him from a nonexistent place of absolute nothingness that God came to call the bottomless pit. God could use the idea of nothing in His creations, but He knew absolutely nothing about absolute nothingness. Evil consciousnesses called devils from the bottomless pit remains a complete mystery to positive consciousness, even God's, because no positive consciousness can even begin to understand it. II Thessalonians 2:7. Lucifer, influenced by devils, became a negative consciousness called Satan even after God had subtracted every good idea that He had put into his system, even the idea of nothing. Ezekiel 28:13-19; Isaiah 40:17; Job 10:21-22; Revelation 20:3.
Satan tempted Eve and she fell into sin simply because she could choose to do so. But the presence of sin in her living soul caused the Devil to be able to inject pure evil and rebellion into her being as well. Sin resulted from free will, but evil is foreign to humans. This evil in her caused her to commit an act of deliberate rebellion against God when she willfully and selfishly gave the forbidden fruit to her husband just because she wanted him to be ruined as well. God would have forgiven her if she had repented of her sin because her weakness caused it, but God had a plan to purge her spiritual death because that would cause her eternal separation from His Love forever. Hebrews 2:9; I Corinthians 15:26.
Eve gave the forbidden fruit to Adam and he also ate it. God could have forgiven Adam's sin because he was partly motivated by his love for Eve. But Satan also injected evil into Adam's being because Adam knew full well that he had deliberately disobeyed God. I Timothy 2:14. Adam also acted selfishly because he was afraid he would lose his physical love with Eve.

The World and the Word
The Fall
Hell is not the only region of spiritual death. God accidentally created the region called Death which He also calls the bottomless pit. But God deliberately created the Sea of forgetfulness into which He will cast all of the sins of all humans saved by grace. Micah 7:19. God also created Hell for the Devil and his angels, not for living humans. The cursed in Matthew 25:41 can only be the evil, spiritual deaths of all humans whom He will cast into the lake of fire, not living humans whom He loves and whom He will rescue from spiritual death. God will use His consuming fire to dissolve every human system within the regions of the dead to separate their living souls and spirits for Him to recreate from their spiritual deaths which He will cast into the lake of fire. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12.
In John 5:28-29, Jesus prophesied about His judgment in the end of the world. This resurrection to judgment cannot be any resurrection of any saints saved by grace because the Old Testament saints were resurrected when Christ arose, the New Testament saints will be resurrected in the Rapture of the Church, and the Tribulation saints will be resurrected at the beginning of the millennial reign of Christ. Matthew 27:52-53; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:6. These facts can only mean that the only persons who will be resurrected in the end of the world must be those who inhabit the regions of the dead because they rejected salvation by grace when they were alive in the flesh. Jesus taught in this prophecy that those who have done good works will regain life but not because of grace. Grace is solely a gift from God which has nothing to do with good works. Ephesians 2:8-9. Humans saved by grace will live with God in heaven forever. John 17:24. But Jesus' prophecy taught that those who have done good works will regain a recreated life, and those who have done evil will be separated for eternal damnation into God's consuming fire. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 22:11-12; Matthew 16:27. God will use His consuming fire to dissolve every human system within the regions of the dead. Deuteronomy 32:22.
In II Timothy 4:1, the Apostle Paul also prophesied that Jesus will judge "the quick and the dead" at a particular time and place which can only be at the end of the world. Christ will make His judgment in His final appearance when He receives His kingdom. This can only be the Great White Throne Judgment as recorded in Revelation 20:11.
God is One Lord. Deuteronomy 6:4. God is also a Trinity in which each person in the Trinity exists in absolute harmony with the other two persons. Matthew 3:16-17. But God has determined that each person in the Trinity will pass through particular ages in which One of those persons will possess the preeminence. In creation, the Holy Spirit had the preeminence, but it would not be wrong to say that Christ and the Father also created. Genesis 1:1-2. Jesus suffered on the cross, but it would not be wrong to say that the Father and the Holy Spirit also suffered. Throughout the written Word of God, the Father has the preeminence which accounts for Jesus' statement in John 15:28. But according to Colossians 1:18-19, a day will come when the Father will turn His preeminence over to His Son. At that time, Christ will recreate the heavens and the earth and will reconcile all of His creations that became stained by sin back to Himself. Revelation 21:5; Colossians 1:15-23. Christ will gain rule over the entire Kingdom of God, but the Father and the Holy Spirit will be in complete harmony with His rule.

The World and the Word
The Fall
God created a dark universe long before He created light. Genesis 3:2-3. God then created the useful systems of Night and Day for the earth. Genesis 1:5. In Genesis 1:31, God saw that everything He had created was "very good."
God created the good systems called humans in His own image. Genesis 1:27. This meant God created them to have a consciousness of Himself, but He did not give them souls. These humans had to have been a pre-Adamic race because God pronounced them as being "very good" when He commanded them to spread out over the earth. God could not have called Adam and Eve "very good" when He expelled them from the garden because they had been infected with evil.
God created Adam and Eve to possess both spirits and souls. Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:23. God's creation of souls meant that they possessed free will, intelligence, and personality. Free will has to be the basis of intelligence because intelligence reveals possibilities and free will allows one to choose among the ideas within those possibilities in order to invent good systems.
God created Adam and Eve as a means to test His Love for His creations. Lucifer's rebellion had caused a pall of doubt over God's creations. Doubt can be a good system if it leads to faith. Satan sought to completely ruin God's good creations of intelligent humans. Satan sought to cause their souls and spirits to become so vile that they would fall into a state of spiritual death and be separated from God forever. Job 2:9. But God's Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8. God intended to prove that His Love can never fail by allowing His intelligent humans to choose to fall into evil which would influence them to sin and put them in danger of eternal, spiritual death, but He would also provide a means through His self-sacrificial Love by which He would cause every one of them to overcome their doubt by their choice to return to faith in Him, some by His grace and all others by His mercy. John 3:16-17; Revelation 5:11-14; Isaiah 45:21-24; Proverbs 10:12.
God cursed the Devil and evil itself. Genesis 3:14. God cursed the ground which contains the three regions of death. Genesis 3:17. Revelation 20:13. But God never cursed the living souls and spirits of His special humans whom He loves because He fully intended to rescue every one of them from spiritual death. Genesis 3:15; Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:22; I Corinthians 15:26.

The World and the Word
The Fall
The nonexistence of negative consciousnesses which can think and act only in destructive ways can never diminish God's omniscience in the least. God possesses an infinite positive and creative knowledge, but negative consciousnesses can only be a kind of anti-knowledge.
God began to suspect that He had accidentally created the bottomless pit with all of its devils when He created darkness long before He created the heaven and earth. Genesis 1:1-2. God felt guilty about His accidental creation of evil even though He was completely innocent in this matter. Isaiah 45:7. But in the very next verse, Isaiah 45:8, God promised that He will rescue all of His creations from evil, recreate the heaven and earth to be wholly righteous, and afford salvation for all humans who would ever live. Isaiah 45:21-24. For these reasons, God has revealed in Revelation 21:23-27 that His New Jerusalem will light the whole earth, and He will not allow any night on His recreated earth. God has also revealed in Revelation 22:3-6 that He will also allow no darkness in heaven whatsoever. God will completely light heaven. God will allow no shadow of death in any of His new creations in order to ensure that no evil can ever emerge from darkness to ever infect His creations again.
God did not create His Infinite Set of Ideas that forms the Contents of His Infinite Mind because that is the Word of God which is One with God Himself. John 1:1. But God created a real universe outside Himself filled with good systems based on ideas extracted from His Set of Infinite Ideas. God created absolutely everything, abstract and concrete. Colossians 1:16. All thoughts, ideas, and emotions are good if used in the right way, even hatred. God's hatred of evil is a good system. God knows how to use jealousy in the right way, but humans often misuse jealousy in a sinful way. Deuteronomy 4:24; The Song of Solomon 8:6. God can feel guilt, but His guilt only shows that He cares about His creations that have been forced to suffer from the influence of evil. Isaiah 45:7. Demons have no ideas whatsoever. The demons and Satan can only misuse God's extracted, good ideas to invent false and destructive systems.
God created emotions, therefore He can feel them. But God could not feel human emotions in time until He became human. God felt those human emotions in the passage of time, but whatever God feels in a moment stretches out from that moment to eternity. Therefore, God waited to become human to feel human emotions, but at the same time, He feels them in eternity. This is a paradox, not a contradiction. Hebrews 5:7-9.

The Fall
The fall of God's creations into the influence of evil began with the greatest angel that God ever created named Lucifer. In Ezekiel 28:1-10, the prophet relates a story of one of the kings of Tyrus who apparently became so filled with excessive pride that he claimed to be equal to God. This king acquired much power and wealth, but his enemies overthrew him and killed him. Ezekiel implied that God caused this prideful king's downfall because of his excessive pride.
In Ezekiel 28:11-19, God inspired Ezekiel to use this fallen king as a symbol of how His angel Lucifer also fell into evil because of his excessive pride. God gave Lucifer tremendous beauty and power, and He also gave him a gift which only God possessed which is free will. At that time, God knew nothing about evil.
God is Omniscient. But He possesses only an Infinite Set of Good Ideas from which He draws upon to create only positive systems; that is, systems that are good and useful and beautiful. God expected that Lucifer would also use his gift of free will to choose to create only good and useful systems. In His innocence, God could not imagine that free will could be used in any other way.
But Ezekiel 28:15 implies that God became shocked to find that something very strange had happened to Lucifer. Lucifer had become filled with a false system called excessive pride and had begun to claim that he was equal to God Himself. Isaiah 14:12-17. God also discovered that Lucifer had begun to misuse God's good ideas to invent his own little evil world and had mislead one third of God's angels to join him in practicing false systems of excessive pride and pleasure. Lucifer then rebelled against God and tried to overthrow Him, murder Him, and take His place. John 8:44.
God suspected that somehow an evil influence had emerged from the cover of darkness, which He had previously created, to infect Lucifer with excessive pride and rebellion. Genesis 1:2; John 3:19-20. God created darkness for useful purposes, and He had no idea such an event could happen. God also discovered that a weakness existed in His gift of free will to Lucifer that allowed him to choose to be influenced by evil. The word "profane" in Ezekiel 28:16 indicates that Lucifer refused to repent of his rebellious acts towards God. Because he refused to repent, Lucifer's system became totally evil, and God had to use His consuming fire to dissolve Lucifer's system, recover all of His good ideas that He had put into his system, and exile his nothingness to earth where he became a totally evil and destructive entity called Satan.
Yet somehow, even though he had become equal to nothing, Satan still retained some form of consciousness. Satan could think and act, but only in destructive ways. Job 1:7. God realized that Satan had acquired some form of negative consciousness even though his being had become absolutely empty. For this reason, the Bible (KJV) almost always refers to sin and evil as vanity which means both emptiness and excessive pride. Ezekiel 28:19. God further realized that Satan's negative consciousness emerged into Lucifer by its use of the cover of darkness from some nonexistent place of total emptiness that God called the bottomless pit. Revelation 20:3. God further realized that because some negative consciousness had to have influenced Lucifer, then this bottomless pit must be filled with negative consciousnesses which He called devils. Luke 8:30-31. How a nonexistent, totally empty place could be filled with totally evil, negative consciousnesses that were nevertheless able to think and act became a complete mystery to even God. II Thessalonians 2:7.
