    @ Gl

    Whats if your father told same story every year with different updated versions every single year about your late grandfather.

    Peace Imran

    I think that would invalidate good logic's first conclusion.

    Quote
    1-Accept it- Because you trust your father that he always tells you the truth through
    your experience living with him. and his knowledge and thorough research. and it
    makes sense to you logically and factually.

    Satan is metaphorical.

    Peace Cerberus are you referring to Iblis?

      Peace hawk,

      I think its not about the invalidity of his first and second conclusion,,,

      Becoz its not the story of our father ==> Adam but its the story of the father of our FATHERS...

      So all our fathers only telling us biography not the auto-biography whats been written by father adam himself hence his both points are already invalidate as per situation in hand..

      Becoz the fathers all of them have different versions from time to time.

      I tend to agree with cerberus metaphorical approach towards this historical character make much more sense.
      Not only that character but i felt all that story is metaphorical.

        Does metaphorical only exist in our mind? Or can it be real but unseen?

        It seems we turn thoughts/ideas that are in our mind to reality sometimes.

        The power that Cerberus is talking about must be real otherwise it should not lead to wickedness .

        Iblis whether real or metaphorical is playing the part in reality. Just what Qoran implies.
        GOD bless.
        Peace.

          b-l-s is the root of Ibliis. What ibliis is should be clear from the root.

            Yes, iblis "the satan".

            Metaphorical as in we can't understand "satan" and how it relates to us and how it moves us into action by just reading the stories. One must think and do a lot of self-inquiry specially since people will easily point fingers at "satan" whatever that is to them, while possibly being moved by satan. How can you avoid something you don't know how it operates in relation to you ? How to separate You from You affected by satan ?

              In other words brother Cerberus Iblis is real. Whether we understand it or not is another issue.

              What I mean is that we need to be aware of Iblis and to beware Iblis both.
              At the end of the day we need to realise our power is independent of Iblis and we only have ourselves to blame. The buck stops with us not Iblis.
              Iblis may be doing his job, but we should also do ours. Iblis cannot benefit or harm us if we only realise.

              There is a difference between someone inviting you to do things(your mind/Iblis....) and someone putting a gun to your head demanding you should do certain things. Iblis does the former., hence the blame can only be on us.
              GOD bless you.
              Peace.

                Aztecs used to celebrate marriage by making the newly married spend something like six days living together without having secual relationship. The ground for this was that there absolutely nothing wrong with sexuals relations, they ar enot dirty, they are pleasurable and no reaosn for not enjoying them, but what is always, always wrong is to loose comand of oneself. Ler oneself be led into something that tempts but one should not do or not want to do but might do out of lack of self comand. This marriage clause was there to make that get a firm foothold on the people's minds. loosing self command wa sloosing human dignity which was sacred as we are made out of God's mercy.

                Salaam

                  Or like this

                  GOD Are you choosing to disobey?

                  Iblis I am special. I am the one who should be obeyed. I am the best of your creatures.

                  GOD Well. you already know the consequences of your arrogance. Rebels do not belong to my kingdom. You have made your decision and you accept the outcome.

                  Iblis Many of your humans will also be arrogant rebels . Just wait and see.

                  This conversation with God thingy is actually among the ridiculous part of the Quran story yet the interesting part on this thread. ))

                  First congratulations on writing the conversations above, it has clearly prove on how easy it is to write such tales.. ))

                  But there is a more 'realistic' flow of the story..

                  GOD Are you choosing to disobey?
                  Iblis (or whom/whatever) Are you not all powerful and all controlling? How could any of your creature possible to disobey your direction?

                  GOD Well. you already know the consequences of your arrogance. Rebels do not belong to my kingdom.
                  Iblis (or whom/whatever) For God's sake.. you're a God... tell me please.... educate me.. how to start rebellion against you? how it is even possible??? And where could I go since all space and time is within your kingdom???

                  The logicality of rebelling / disobeying against God is as if

                  • Dracula starting a rebellion against Bram Stoker
                  • Harry Potter starting a rebellion against JK Rowling
                  • Sauron starting a rebellion against JRR Tolkien
                  • Mario brothers starting a rebellion against Shigeru Miyamoto
                  • Spiderman starting a rebellion against Stan Lee
                  • Anakin Skywalker starting a rebellion against George Lucas
                  • Aladin starting a rebellion against Hanna Diyab
                  • Mickey Mouse starting a rebellion against Walt Disney

                  Especially now since the true God has revealed that even time and space itself is a creation!

                  It's all 'virtual'.. this entire universe and all of it's creation (including Iblis if he/she/it exist) are kind of simulation. A universe which is similar to Star Wars universe created by George Lucas or Middle Earth universe created by JRR Tolkien. A God who created this simulation universe is most definitely in control of all things!! Just like Tolkien is in control of all events happening in Middle Earth / Lord Of The Rings trilogy!
                  A rebellion against something who are also outside of this universe and in total control of it is definitely impossible!

                  Satan was nevev been absent brother jafar, also may b hes reading our post and laughing on us how popular he is like celeberity even in negetive role hes successful more fan followers in history than any celebrity ever have >

                  We see hell of entertainment in all stories versions

                  Yes this Iblis, Devil, Satan, a trickster figure seems to be among the favorite character of middle eastern story tellers (Sumer, Judah, Christian, Islam) and his/her/it actual role evolves through time. Similar trickster figure also exist in other paganistic traditions, such as nordic mythology, celts mythology, Greek mythology...

Similar trickster figure also exist in other paganistic traditions, such as nordic mythology, celts mythology, Greek mythology...

                    even a little care and little know-how of understanding language can tell us lot more myths...

                    example look at the root and the sources of root make me laugh for a minute , perhaps you will help me out what others cant becoz they are unable to understand at the first place..lets start from here...

                    ابليس
                    his former name being = (AZAZEEL).. source = lanelexicon but from where mr edward lane got that information about his previous name did satan visit him personally telling mr lane that was my name before the title ibless rotfl

                    according to corpus ابليس is personal noun of masculine gender form..

                    now come to the root...

                    Ba-Lam-Siin = i m gona do the breakup of all root meanings what also contradict with eachother .. example mournful is the opposite of silent rotfl

                    1 despair = losing hope
                    2 give up hope,

                    3 become broken (in spirit),

                    4 mournful= if mournful then meanings no 5 is in contradictory position..
                    5 become silent/confounded/perplexed unable to see right way or course,

                    6 repent/grieve = really ?

                    questions are lot just few apparent issues with the meanings of that root..
                    was the name/title given to him after the event ?

                    did he really repent ?
                    did he really keep silent himself or mournful ?
                    did he really lose hope? if he lose hope why he ask for the challenge to start a mission against humanity what he was believing his enemy or proving God you are wrong and i am better than this creation?
                    as the graphs of today was he right as we see billions of crimes ?

                    most of the meanings does not match with character what we observe ...

                    if you ask those questions from experts their answers will be weird and interesting as a fact they only know what corpus/lane/secondary sources are telling them.. poor humanity lol

                    but brother jafar i feel you must have researched all these things and worked it out somehow share something about those things from where they obtain the meanings, basically i m struggling to find the first sources from where we can get information ? is there any grammer book any arabic language book before 7th century ?

                    i have an idea is it possible to change the meanings of word and install it in to dictionary ? what we say corruption of language or dictionary..

                    or whats the link of this word with evil/bad/devil/satan ? look how things get confuse hmm

                    lets do one more imp THING

                    Shiin-Tay-Nun (root of shaytan) = become distant/far/remote, enter firmly / become firmly fixed therein / penetrate and be concealed, turn away in opposition (from direction/aim), devil, one excessively proud/corrupt, unbelieving/rebellious/insolent/audacious/obstinate/perverse, rope, deep curved well, it burned, became burnt, serpent, any blameable faculty or power of a man..

                    A vs B got lot of difference and confusion and both A and B used for same individual.. confusion upon confusion

                          Why did he refuse?

                          said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" said, "I am
                          better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

                          From the above sentence one can easily generate the meanings what i am going to share some of them are..

                          1 RACIST
                          2 JEALOUS
                          3 MISinformed
                          4 judge-mental
                          5 ARROGANT
                          6 UNKIND
                          7 HATER
                          8 ATTENTION-seeker rotfl

                          Surprisingly gods of quranic translation didnt pay heed to the root meanings vs the meanings what situation is demanding from events.

                          But we humans have all those qualities @ extreme level.
                          Human being is always very un-clear in lot of things

                              Peace imrankhawaja,

                              imagine if the devils who rule this world would acquiesce or
                              yield to humanity how all of our lives would be transformed.

                              peace

                              interesting question and also very creative one..

                              ITS like making a movie in which hero and villain died in the start of movie
                              or its like hero and villain both do good/bad deeds together.

                              but for making a movie or story we need certain characters to play that drama, and a super-hit movie demands from director to create fully functioned characters who play their roles very well.

                              its all goes to the will of director, if there is a design of something the credit goes to designer..

                              RED rulers never yield in the law of ruling...they are the one who design the rules thats why we called them rulers...

                              EDIT i just saw your meanings in your post i think u edited it anyways, u can add whatever you like depend on the situation look another meaning come into my mind just now...

                              9 senior citizens who are ready to punch the great ideas of youth due to the fear of losing their back-minded old ideas i m just figuring it out what word we can use for that type of person rotfl you may find it in dictionary for me as i see, its also one meaning we can drive from above event of ibless..

                              disliker
                              bad tempered
                              pseudo-intellectual rotfl add this one too

                              peace

                                The devils rule this world??

                                I'm not sure that this devil creature exist in the first place.

                                But ok, let's assume that the legend and fable in the Quran, Bible and other middle eastern writings is true, that this creature did exist.

                                Based on the 'stories' given in the legend, I think this Devil/Iblis/Satan creature is both mad and idiotic.
                                Rebelling against God??? How???

                                And if this creature is meant to symbolize brutality, hatred, arrogance and ego-maniac, in any of those dimension human has beaten him straight out...

                                Thus, I can't really fathomed why human are scared of his/her/it's presence???
                                It should be The Devil/Iblis/Satan who are scared of human presence!!
                                My advice to Devil/Iblis/Satan; if it exist.. Seek refuge from the accursed human...

                                Thus if this devil exist, and if this devil submit to humanity.. I really don't think much will change anyway...

                                  You have no clue what is going on in occult circles. Misanthropy and nihilism is the other thing which destroys nature. If you want to see change in the world, start with your SELF. Start to represent Jibril(the pure/good) through your thoughts and actions instead of Iblis(impure/corrupt/evil) - if you don't believe in the scriptures then at least take the philosophical approach to understand nature and to apply its truths. There are many ways to heal ourselves.

                                  Over-thinking/Over-analyzing separates the mind from the body.

                                    Educate me please on your expertise of what's going on in the occult circles..

                                    https//beta.lbry.tv/satanic-child-sacrifice-ronald-bernard/b

                                    What's is this?
                                    A dad sacrificing / murdering his own children?
                                    The storyline is quite familiar.....

                                    If it is.. then this is another evidence of insanity and brutality of humanity.... which even the Devil cannot match..

                                    It become a total madness especially when the society considered the tale / story of a dad who sacrificed his own children as a heroic epic... retold again and again throughout generations...

                                    Yet again this is another evidence of mass insanity of humanity....

                                    I seek refuge against the insanity of human..

                                      You can educate yourself if you want to.

                                      No, this is an individual who was once working with these psychopaths. They are not murdering they own children but orphans, runaway teens, children of drug addicts whom no one will miss, they would never murder their own children because they want to preserve their bloodline. Thats why Abraham had this vision - he was ready to end his bloodline, which he didn't through divine intervention. At the end he was rewarded with (a once) blessed nation. The Israelites were destroyed because they also practiced child sacrifice. You can look at it as you wish, but God is testing us individually - He knows us best.

                                        I'm only familiar with the occult that I was born into, the occult of Islam.

                                        No, this is an individual who was once working with these psychopaths.

                                        So those psychopaths are not crazy enough as trying to murder their own children?
                                        And how should we call those who are crazy enough to trying to murder their own children?
                                        Super Psychopath? Psychopath 2.0?
                                        And how should we call those who considered those who are crazy enough to trying to murder their own children as 'their hero'?
                                        Mass Psychopath? Psychopathic Society?

                                          Well they are not trying, they are actually doing it. Sunnism or Shiism is a cult not occult.
