Hanky-Pankage

Satan has a very interesting set of family members. From my interpretation, Sin was born of Satan's mind which makes sense. The best part is that Sin came from Satan's mind and is technically not one of God's creations, merely a by-product. Sin is Satan's Idea and child. Even more interesting, Death itself is born from Satan and Sin.  The bible says that Sin and Death came into the world after Adam and Eve ate the apple, but it never says from where they originally came from. On top of that, Death and Sin create monsters together, so Milton tries to say that Satan, Sin, and Death created everything evil and terrible in the world.

  1. According to Milton, Satan has the ability and power to create as God does. This idea conflicts with previous information, but Epics tend to do so as Mr. Crook said in class one day.
    I found it funny that mankind's first sin was murder or in other words death. Cain killed his brother Able. Also, I have heard that Cain is the son of the serpent in the Garden of Eden in one version of the new testament. If Satan actually is the serpent, then Satan had a second son, Cain who respresents sin like Satan's daughter Sin.
    Sin herself represents evil. She is described as very attractive while in Heaven. Just like the "island" that lost sailors anchor, Sin looks appealing.

  2. So there is a creation that God didn't create? So God his his creatures, including Mankind, the ability to create? Yes, Sin is appealing to Satan. Why? What's happened to here appeal in hell?
