Inverted Orthodoxy

Today Blake, Doug and Kyle get into more of your questions. Check out the questions below or head to invertedorthodoxy.com to submit a question.

1. Question about your positions that we won't be tempted to sin in heaven - if that's the case then how did Satan fall from heaven? My understanding of that is that his pride made him want to be bigger than God and that sin is what got him cast out. If Satan, and all the angels who went with him, could sin in heaven, why do you think that we won't be able to or just won't want to? Also, where does the story of Satan's fall from heaven come from in the Bible?

2. As an add on to my question about Satan sinning in heaven, when was Satan cast out from heaven?

Presumably it was prior to creation otherwise the serpent wouldn't have been around to tempt Eve but if it was before creation then does that mean heaven and hell were around before the beginning of time?

When having a conversation with someone who has differing views than you (i.e. transgender, homosexuality, beliefs in God, or political), what do you find is the most valuable way to conduct yourself in those conversations? In culture today it has become a bit dangerous to express your views because it could mean a conversation with Hr or a strike on our record because the view might not be the common opinion or view of the organization that we might find ourselves in.

3. Why were Pharaoh's magicians able to do the same tricks (ie. rod becoming a snake, River filled with blood, epidemic of frogs...) with their incantations? Was this really possible?
