Layth's article: ''Why are we here?''
-
Peace all, Layth,
''When access to the Spirit was granted to humankind, and when God gave His command that all His creation (including the angels) were to yield to the authority of the Spirit bestowed upon our species, Satan, who represented the energy beings known as ?Jinn? objected to this action and objected to God?s choice in granting the Spirit and authority to man.
Satan was arrogant in his thinking that the element from which he was created (fire) was more superior to man?s lowly physical body, and hence he believed it was his race that should have been given the opportunity to have God?s gift and not the humans.''
This trust that was offered, can it not be in itself a ''successor'' in the awarding of the trust? At this point God's intention being to establish this trust on earth. Could it not be that Satan's race had the trust, not limited to earth and that God was establishing a successor to that trust specifically on earth?
The story as I understand it is not about thinking his race should have been given the opportunity to have God's gift for his plan on earth as that race does not appear present in accepting the offer.
Could it be that Satan does not see in the human race a worthy succesor of his races gift which they held prior?
