Iarwain, I know that you believe I'm wrong, and that's cool, that's your belief and I understand that this is necessary in any faith; to truly believe you are right. Thus others are wrong.

Sorry, you're right. I didn't think I was insulting anybody, but if I did inadvertently I apologise.

One thing I might ask is that for the benefit of the non-orthodox Christians among us, the...

I've wondered this too, I guess all we can do is speculate.

Sauron was defeated and his spirit left his body numerous times. But in this case, it was his bondage (!) to the Ring which kept him on...

There is no conclusive proof of this either. The spiders, such as Shelob and certainly Ungoliant (!) were not created by Morgoth. And they were pretty nasty. We cannot presume that simply 'good'...
