(Originally written August 21, 2007 in Notebook 17)
There is a fine degree of difference between myself and Satan. One, I am weak in comparison to him, though no weaker in my lust for evil. The only difference is that I am redeemable, whereas he is not. Why is this so? The penalty for sin is death. I may die in body and pay my sin debt, but my spirit can be redeemed. How can Satan, a being of pure spirit die and still live? He cannot. The major difference between man (fallen beings) and fallen angels is that man is redeemable by virtue of having a body that can die, while the spirit may live on.
