1. 鼎是用来炼银的，炉是用来炼金的，但是只有耶和华才能锻炼人的心灵。这句话意味着， compared to refining silver and gold, refining the human heart is a task that can only be accomplished by God.
2. 关于“魔鬼自有”的解读，我们需要明确：神是自有永有的，是完美而全能的。Since everything is created by God, how did the devil come into existence? Is he also created by God?
3. God said, "That man is become as one of us, to know good and evil." This shows that beings similar to God can distinguish between good and evil. The existence of evil was known by the angels before humans were created. God has given all created beings the freedom to choose between good and evil. Some angels chose evil and were thus separated from God, their nature, appearance, and status changed.
4. From this, we can understand that the existence of evil serves a ultimate purpose, which is to achieve beauty and goodness. The same is true in the kingdom of heaven. We can appreciate God's perfection more clearly when we understand the existence of evil and distinguish between good and evil.
5. However, God will ultimately eliminate evil from both earth and heaven. The eternal fire is the place where evil belongs. Whether it is humans or angels, choosing evil means becoming a devil. Therefore, God did not create the devil; it is the result of choice.
