Do you really believe that someone who knew the PROOF of YHWH's glory and eternal power could ever think that he would take his place or be equal to him??? Can anyone who can't create a universe think that he can?? Absurd!!
Even more absurd is the idea that someone who knows he is not a God and that if HE rebels against YHWH as HIS GOD and savior he will end in eternal hell suffering, goes ahead and makes the decision to rebuke YHWH as a liar and a false god!!! Choosing to go to a proven eternal hell rather than a proven heaven is absurd on the order of an absolute insanity!!!
Do we condemn the deranged insane to eternal suffering or do we cure them???
Rather, Satan and his angels rebelled against YHWH's CLAIMS to be our GOD and saviour from all sin, without proof, putting their hope without proof in the idea that HE was the same as everyone else and therefore a liar and therefore they rebuked HIM as a false god by faith, ie, hope, not proof. They heard these claims when HE proclaimed HIS deity and HIS gospel of salvation to every person under heaven, ie, every person who was ever created in HIS image, as mentioned in Colossians 1:23.
No one ends in hell because they are insane but only because they made a free will but sinful decision to NOT put their faith in YHWH as their GOD and saviour and so were condemned on the spot as having never believed In Christ's Name, ie, divine essence, as per John 3:18.
The proof that opened their eyes to their eternal fate in hell was seeing the creation of the physical universe but accepting the proof of GOD was not the criteria for being saved from sin but faith, an unproven hope, was the only criteria.
