>>13326887The next question is usually: "Why was the serpent allowed to tempt Adam and Eve?"
For this I believe the story of Job is the most telling when we, instead of taking Job as a man we take him as a symbol for mankind as a whole.
Mankind/Job was loved by God, and he was rightouss. Then Satan said that Mankind/Job just loves him for all the good things God gives them, and that he/we would stop caring when things would go south. So to prove Satan wrong he is allowed to take our good things away, to tempt us and try and make us fall from faith. He brings poverty, illness, famine, natural disasters just so that in the end Job/Mankind is still there and praising God.
You also need to know that there is a kind of Christian Pantheon (Which I go deeper into in a bit). God appointed the Angels, the Sons of God (Ha-Elohim/Elyon), over the nations to rule and lead them and judge them justly (He himself taking care directly over Israel). Going by pagan mythology originally Satan/Saturn was the one appointed to lead this "Divine Assembly". Satan took then the role of the adversary, trying to judge us as guilty which a third of the angels followed. However Michael/Jupiter defeated Satan and his army and took his place as the leader over the council. Stripped of his power he and the third of the angels that followed him now still work on proving themselves right.
