May 25, 2019 at 13:19 comment added Cab Zx The Church understanding is the same, but without the concept of time. It goes something like this: when you have a body, you have potentiality. This means that you have the capacity to change, when you die and your souls is separated, it looses that capacity; therefore being unable to change. Same applies to angels.

May 25, 2019 at 13:12 comment added Lynob That's a very interesting perspective. I don't think that the church looked at it this way though, because the idea that space and time were two different entities is a new idea, I don't think that the church or the world understood time to be a thing. More importantly, if there's no time than the devil had no time to become the devil. He might have the will from the beginning as you said, but he's always stuck in whatever moment he was created at.
