Does God Love Satan?
This question comes from my reading of Ezekiel 27, how the king of Tyre also represents Satan and kind of depicts the tragedy of the whole situation. Anyone have any thoughts on this in general?

The first Graphic novel series “Lucifer” put an interesting spin on that question. God created Lucifer to be the embodiment of free will, not evil.
Lucifer rebelled, because he wanted to have complete control over his own destiny. As part of creation this was impossible. God, could not give him total independence, the best he could do was to give Lucifer an place as far away from his direct presence as possible. This became Hell.
Lucifer isn’t evil himself, he rules a kingdom which is populated with the worst of humanity. with god’s approval.

@DocSavage This is a great way to put it. However, I have heard it said that hell isn't bad because of the absence of God but because of his presence.
