E209 Q216 What are angels?
Angels are rational, spiritual beings created by God. God’s holy angels joyfully serve him in heavenly worship, and God appoints them to act as messengers, bringing words of guidance and assurance to the faithful, and assisting and protecting them.

E208 Q215 How did Satan and his angels turn to evil?
Satan and his angels were overcome by envy and pride and re- belled against God.
-
E207 Q214 What are Satan and his demons?
Demons, of whom Satan is chief, are fallen angels. Satan rebelled against God and led other angels to follow him. They now cause spiritual and sometimes physical harm to mortals, and they sow lies that lead to confusion, despair, sin, and death.

E206 Q213 Did evil exist before the human race embraced it?
Yes. Satan had already opposed God and chosen evil when he tempted Adam and Eve.
-
E205 Q212 Is God responsible for evil?
No. The sinful choices of his creatures do not implicate God in evil in any way. (Deuteronomy 30:15–19; Romans 7:7–25; James 1:13–15) Support the podcast here

E204 Q211 If God is good, why does He permit evil?
God created rational creatures free to love, obey, and worship him, but we have used our freedom to reject his love, rebel against him, and choose evil. Yet no evil can thwart God’s purposes, and he is able to use evil to bring about even greater good. (Genesis 6:5; Judges 2:19–23; Psalm 10; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Romans 8:18–28; Hebrews 2:8–18; Revelation 2:18–29) Support the podcast here
Customer Reviews
Excellent intro to the Catechism
Excellent podcast! This is a thoughtful, devotional, rich meditation/commentary on the ACNA catechism.I was really moved by Richard Reeb’s succinct and moving explanation of one short section from the catechism. He also provides some good insights for how it applies in every day life.
Homosexuality is Evil
I found this podcast mildly interesting. That is until the narrator mentioned homosexuality has been considered evil for the last two thousand years and still is. What is actually true is that the Bible and Jewish Law referenced there in are anti-rape and anti-idolatry. Sexual orientation was not conceived until the 1860s. Yes, I completely agree rape and idolatry are evil. As with may matters, our understanding and perception of human sexuality has evolved. Sad this podcast is so ignorant truth, God’s unconditional love of all, and contemporary understanding of human nature. I wonder if he has evolved on any matters with awareness or understanding more recent than 2,000 years ago.
