There is a contradiction it appears in the universe.
God is the source of all reference points and it is He who defines that which is good and
that which is evil.
There is a doubt that can come into this discussion. What if God is wrong and there is
another way?
Some ideas can then take hold, and lead to rebellion, though they are founded just in
delusion.
So the serpent said to eve, will you die, because you will become like God knowing
good and evil. So extra information was suggested that might resolve the issue of
death, so questioning the honesty of God.
God in His nature desires to bring about love in beings, that they might know what it
is to rise above, to be appropriate, to overcome because in overcoming one turns the
mortal into the eternal.
So in satans world domination and manipulation for selfish ends is King, because through
this it is hoped power can be established. But inevitably such kingdoms are destroyed
by their warring parts and resolution or balance is never established only partial truce
awaiting the next conflict or attempt to overthrow.
How in all creation does the Lord separate out that which chooses this way from the

As one can see in human existance, the desire to self justify is so strong, even total
contradictions of belief can be held even when they destroy the very foundational beliefs
the group holds to, because it is established to reassure them and maintain where they are
not bring about reality or truth.
So I can see how lucifer fell, because the trap is so enticing, he believed it made sense, though
it was always doomed. Once he had fallen there was no way back, other than to represent for
God the alternative reality within Gods creation and weed out the goats from the sheep.
