]]> Comment on What do we emphasize when we explain the War in Heaven? by Mitchell Colver http://www.brandonrobison.com/51/what-do-we-emphasize-when-we-explain-the-war-in-heaven/#comment-24 Mitchell Colver Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:08:37 +0000 http://www.brandonrobison.com/?p=51#comment-24 I completely agree with you! As a technical side note, Satan didn't seek God's glory, he sought God's honor (Moses 4:1), which is a bit different (the glory of God is Intelligence or "the Light of Truth"). The honor of God is actually God's power (or at least in someway the source of His power): Doctrine and Covenants 29:36. I think what puts it in our mind that Satan sought God's glory is Christ's follow-up: "And the glory be thine forever." But there's really two different concepts in play. Nevertheless, you're right: agency is paramount. In fact, I usually reference this idea: God loves agency soooo very much that he was willing to allow 1/3 of his children destroy themselves. That's how highly he valuates agency and why he will not interfere or impose himself upon his children in a manner that is destructive to agency, even if it results in their own destruction. I completely agree with you!
