In the same way, these dreamers pollute their own bodies, reject authority and slander celestial beings. But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said “The Lord rebuke you!” – Jude 1:8, 9
We are told that the devil is bad and YHWH is good. If you are a child you accept that simple answer, but as adults we begin to dig deeper. The Bible does not support the idea that the devil is bad at all. We are taught that the devil lied to the couple of Eden and caused the fall of humankind out of the grace of YHWH. Yet, the only one who did not suffer any consequences for the fall of humankind is the devil. Adam and Eve get thrown out of paradise, the serpent loses its legs, but the devil goes home to the realm of YHWH. When we look at the story with open eyes we see that the devil did not lie about YHWH not wanting Adam and Eve to know what YHWH knew. YHWH did not want them to know because they were not mature enough to handle the information. Adam and Eve show their lack of maturity by never questioning God or the devil like a Moses or Job. They never spar or struggle like Yeshua or Jacob. So in the end they failed the test of the greatest tester of all time, the devil.
