For anyone checking in on this thread and inquiring about WHAT VERSE and making things more clear, this is the best answer I can give. BTW, your post disappeared... I'll stop ignoring you if you will just be polite... That doesn't mean I expect you to agree with anything I write ... just saying.
ANSWER:
I had been talking to Derf about who asked the question in Psalm 82:2?
He said God asked it of humans who were not being good judges on earth.
I said it was 'one of the gods gathered in the assembly' - and I have concluded specifically it was Satan who was pleading his defense before God his judge.
Derf and I had also discussed my comments about 'that old serpent/Satan' having been commanded to partake of the dust of the ground for the rest of his life in Genesis 3.
Now Nick, politely chimed in and said: "That isn't the point of that verse. He (God) doesn't tell us everything and He is not obliged to tell us everything."
Nick then also added a very interesting video about the meanings of the ancient words used to mention the identity of 'that snake' in the Garden.
Now, Nick did not pin point the exact verse he had in mind which prompted his statement above; so, I could not go into details about a specific one ... so, I mostly addressed this part of his remark: "He (God) doesn't tell us everything and is not obliged to tell us everything."
I loved the video Nick shared and felt it could match up with what I believe about Satan and I agree with his statement above ... God is not obliged to tell us everything." Yet, I do believe God does reveal lots of things to individuals when he choses through the Holy Spirit which Christ left us.
Nick, come back and perhaps help me give you a better answer.
