[Shoshanna Walker <rosewalk AT concentric.net>]

HaSatan is an angel

Angels have no free choice, they exist to serve G-d, when an angel's 
job is done, it ceases to exist

Shoshanna




ummm--- Job does no such thing.  In fact, haSatan has access to God- is
questioned by God and answers most respectably, and is given orders by
God which he is to carry out.  He is no "fallen angel"- he is in the
council of God.  to eisegete angelology into Job is a tremendous
exegetical mistake.

David ticked him off- so he wanted to get even.

david's whole manner of being perhaps?  his greed, lust, murderousness,
name it.

what are you looking for logic for?  the narrative is as little
concerned with logic as (insert name of any politician here) is.
