We are in this world because we committed a horrendous crime, and this life is our chance to redeem ourselves, denounce our crime, and rejoin God's kingdom. It all began a few billion years ago when "a feud arose in the Heavenly Society" (38:69). One of the high-ranking creatures, Satan, entertained supercilious thoughts that his God-given powers qualified him to be a god besides God. He thus challenged God's absolute authority. Not only was Satan's idea blasphemous, it was wrong - only God, and no one else, possesses the qualifications and ability to be a god. Consequent to Satan's blasphemy, a division occurred in the Heavenly Society, and all constituents of God's kingdom became classified into four categories: Angels: Creatures who upheld God's absolute authority. Animals: Creatures who rebelled but then accepted God's invitation to repent. [From Introduction.] Jinns: Creatures who agreed with Satan; that he is capable of being a "god." Humans: Creatures who did not make up their minds; they failed to make a firm stand with God's absolute authority.
