It’s All About Service

“…certain angels could not accept serving God if it entailed serving a lower species—namely the human species. One third of the angels fell and became demons.”

Interesting theory. The angels were created to serve God. As we know from Scripture, one aspect of serving God is to serve humanity. Does this service only apply to humans or are the angels under the same requirement? Did 1/3 of the angels balk at serving humanity?

This idea sheds some light on the subject. Why would 1/3 of the angels follow Satan’s lead in rebelling against God? What was in it for them? Following this line of reasoning leads me to believe that they refused to serve humanity because it would have meant that they themselves would NOT be served BY humanity. In other words, they wanted to be rulers over men instead of servants of men.

So God threw them out and consigned them to eternal frustration and disappointment.

If this is true (I suspect that it is), then what does that say to us when the very words of Christ command us to serve other people rather than trying to rule them? Those who believe in the application of power, force, and violence to make others behave and live as desired will have a hard time with this concept. The most evil people, those with the least interest in serving, rise to the top of the political heap because they are spiritual copies of Satan, who has NO interest in service, but instead seeks total and complete control.

If God rejected the angels who refused to serve, then the people who travel that same road are in some serious trouble. It would benefit us personally to cut the ties and distance ourselves from such people.
