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.

Furthermore, your current understanding of 2Sam 24 does not make sense if we are to
understand it as a chain of events.

1) Yah gets angry
2) He gets David to commit a sin

The following questions arise:
1) Why did Yah get angry?



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

2) Surely if we are to understand that he got angry before the sin then there must have been another
reason for his anger. What was that reason?



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

3) If so, did Yah get David to sin just because he was already angry about something else?
4) Does this line of thinking have any logic what-so-ever?



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