What makes you think Lucifer is not the good-guy in the Bible?

what do you mean duality is an illusion? you dont think duality exists?
Nope, the illusion of duality is a well known eastern concept that runs through Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, and others.
This might help : Nondualism - Wikipedia
Extract from that page :
Loy (1988: p. 3) contrasts his view of the historicity of nonduality in some of its evocations in the experience of the peoples of The East and The West as follows:
"...[the seed of nonduality] however often sown, has never found fertile soil [in the West], because it has been too antithetical to those other vigorous sprouts that have grown into modern science and technology. In the Eastern tradition...we encounter a different situation. There the seeds of seer-seen nonduality not only sprouted but matured into a variety (some might say a jungle) of impressive philosophical species. By no means do all these [Eastern] systems assert the nonduality of subject and object, but it is significant that three which do – Buddhism, Vedanta and Taoism – have probably been the most influential."edit on 9-7-2012 by robhines because: added

I site dedicated to intelligence so much how can you be so ignorant? I'm surprised this isn't deleted and never seen again by now my friend. And if you are lucifer, heck no you aren't my friend, why would you be? How could you be?
I LOVE.
And I know it's wrong to see Lucifer and Jesus as the same thing in essence, but I don't follow duality either, sorry. Lucifer and Jesus are just two beings of the same nature that decided to go different paths the way I see it. The difference to me is in what they do, not what they are.

Ho ho, Devils Advocate time.
So, what if Lucifer is one of the leaders of our evolution? And the NWO are his agents. What if Lucifer all along has had it in mind to return to God when we've evolved enough? What if the only reason we're all suffering right now is because we've allowed the NWO to do every single thing they've done to us? That if we were truly aware and cared enough, we'd put a stop to it all right now and the game would be up.
What if the game will never be up until enough of us choose to wake up?
And what if Lucifer is our friend, pushing us on to make those final steps?
BTW : I see Jesus and Lucifer as part of the same thing, they're equals, because to me everything and everyone will always be equal. So no I don't hate Jesus and all of that other stuff, incase any Christians start up.edit on 8-7-2012 by robhines because: added

Regardless, anyone that believes in God cannot logically believe in the Devil at the same time? If you believe in the devil, then your God is not omnipotent. So, by believing in the devil, you are limiting your God.

As this is a very long thread I haven't had chance to read it all so apologies if someone has made this point already.
From the way I understand it Lucifer/Satan/The Devil/ Old Nick whatever you want to call it is just a fallen Angel, as such surely any other Angel would have the the same power and be able to cancel out ANYTHING that it did. So if there is there really was a God in the way that the religious amongst you believe who created the Universe and EVERTHING in it ( Including The Devil ) And is the ULTIMATE power in said Universe then surely it would be a simple task for such a being to put a stop to Lucifer's misdeeds?!
Now before you all start jumping up and down and start spouting rubbish like The Devil is needed to test peoples worthiness to enter the Kingdom of God blah blah blah, just think for 1 second. If this God that you believe in and love so much cared the tiniest bit about the Human Race, never mind supposiedly lovining us as you would suggest then it would NEVER allow the things to happen to us that it does. So either it doesn't exist or at the very least if it does, it certainly doesn't deserve the respect or devotion that you seem so willing to blindly throw it's way!!edit on 9-7-2012 by Cycleiron because: (no reason given)
