There is no equal to the FATHER...

The Adversary [Devil] is not equal to YHWH [God]! The biggest challenge for many believers is reversing the misconstrued philosophy of an adversarial equivalence and understanding the ontological relation to YHWH.  Modern culture has developed this dual concept of "good versus evil", masquerading it as two equal parts.  The FATHER is unparalleled to any being.  We have substituted the Enemy's dearth of righteousness as an oppositional force.  This alone, has led many of us astray, while unconsciously minimizing interminable existence of the Creator and his attributes. YHWH is the light, and we assume that darkness is the opposite when it is not; it is the absence thereof.  Light travels, but darkness just is there. Light is obtainable, transferable, qualitative, quantitative, and boundless; whereas, darkness has no comparison even to the opposite realm. That is why ignorance is bliss; it is the presence of the lack of truth. There is no equal to the Father.  The Creator could never be on the same level as the creation. That is why once you learn something you cannot unlearn it!
