Creation

God created His Son on the first day. Armaros indicated you might want to follow the Light, and read the Gospel and Epistles of John. "Illuminate" so said he. According to Armaros, he was created on the fifth day, along with Satan, Satan's son, the archangels, the cherubims, the seraphims and all other angels. Again, I was skeptical, and asked the winged one to show me the proof, to show me his evidence, in the Word of God.

He then read Genesis 1:20, "And God said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven." I was rather offended when Armaros sarcastically asked, "Do you really think these fowl are Tweety Bird?" I determined that "fowl" was translated from the Hebrew word "owph" which means "gathering with wings."

When I then responded, "Well, maybe," Armaros exclaimed (expletive deleted) and cited Revelation 19:17, "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God ...." "So, Hephzibah," he said to me, "Do you really think God is going to supper with a bunch of Tweety Birds?"

Such sarcasm! You would think that one confined (for now) to the bottomless pit would have more humility. Anyway, I then questioned the "creatures" of verse 21, "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind, and God saw that it was good."

Armaros then read the following passage pertaining to Psalm 104 from "PSALMS, Volume 2," by George A. F. Knight, p. 146 : Amongst these there is that mysterious sea monster that you can see playing in the Mediterranean Sea. It has a number of names in the OT, Leviathan, Rahab, and more. In Genesis 1:21 we read that God created all the great sea monsters of the deep, and that he "saw that it was good". But Leviathan is not a crocodile, or a whale or any other monster known to man. He is the "animalizing" of the Monster of the Deep (the chaos that was there in the beginning - Genesis 1:2). This can only mean that God saw the Monster as good for his purposes. God gave Leviathan freedom and free will just as he gave it to us. For God loves freedom. In fact, God enjoys watching this Monster sport in the sea -playing with God.

"So, what do you think, Hephzibah?" "What did Jeremiah's buddy Baruch say about the subject?" 2 Baruch 29: "And Behemoth will reveal itself from its place, and Leviathan will come down from the sea, the two great monsters which I created on the fifth day of creation and which I have kept until that time."

Armaros screamed at me, "Do you have ears to hear? This is Satan and his son." He then pointed out "and let fowl multiply in the earth" in Genesis 1:22 and indicated that we would talk about this later. He said it would become clear when we discussed the fallen angels' assignations with the daughters of men. I was becoming slightly bored at this point and I was still perturbed that Armaros had yelled at me, so I screamed at him, "I want to talk about sex NOW!" So he did, but he took off on some other tangent. But first, he reiterated that up until this point in his dissertation, "God saw that it was good," thus the rebellion has not occurred yet.

Armaros then as me a series of questions :

When I inquired where to find the answers, Armaros responded by opening his Bible, and saying, "The answers are here. Let us search the Scriptures."

Armaros then went into a rambling diatribe which I will attempt to paraphrase in the next section.
