God gave man freewill. What is freewill? Freewill is the ability to choose for himself.

God made the angels, but angels could only do what God commanded them to do.

God doesn't want to control man's life, he wants man to control his own life.

If he wanted to control Man's life, he would have no need for angels.

God created man in his image and likeness; How? By giving him the Mind to think for himself!

The Bible says, "Let that same Mind that was in Christ-Jesus also be in you."

God wants man to have the thought of him in his mind.

To know is to understand the thoughts that lives within your MIND.

Good morning Honorable Rev. Anthony R. Watson,

Thank you for your interpretation response as we all continue to study and search the truth by way of biblical scripture.

God bless,

Job 1:6-22

One day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, Satan also came among them. And the the Lord said to Satan, "Whence do you come?" Then Satan answered the Lord and said, "From roaming the earth and patrolling it." And the Lord said to Satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job, and that there is no one on earth like him, and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil?" But Satan answered the Lord and said, "Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing? Have you not surrounded him and his family and all that he has with protection? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock are spread over the land. But not now put forth your hand and touch anything that he has, and surely he will blaspheme you to your face." And the Lord said to Satan. "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand upon his person." So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.

Matthew 4:6-11

For it is written: "He will COMMAND his angels concerning you'

Get away, Satan,! It is written: "The Lord your God, shall you WORSHIP and him alone shall you SERVE."

Then the DEVIL LEFT him and, behold, ANGELS CAME and ministered to him. 

Luke 10:17-20

The seventy-two returned rejoicing, and said, "Lord, even the demons are SUBJECT to us because of your name." Jesus said, "I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky. Behold, I have given you the power to tread upon serpents' and scorpians and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are SUBJECT to you, but rejoice because your names are WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.

 

Main point CHOICE.

Job 1:22

In all this Job did not sin, nor did he say anything disrespectful of God.

Good evening Honorable Rev. Anthony R. Watson,

Thanks again for acknowledging a piece of the information prescribed and soliciting a response.

Two (2) Schools of thought Eastern and Western

A fallen angel named Lucifer and called archangel=chief prince was originally seen as being created perfect when mentioned, my question to you now is why was or did Lucifer believe that he needed to ascend into a place were he was already located as a worshipper? The author gave a description of what he understood as true about Lucifer.  

No, God did not command Lucifer to have unbecoming thoughts, which in turn became failure to retain his position as an perfect angel. It is written that the heart became aware and spoke, I will. God's will was for the host of the angelical beings to carry out his orders.

Human thought cannot be compared to spirit being thought. The spirit can get up and remove itself, but humans cannot physically ascend up and down in this body.  

archangel=chief prince

Referred to as the morning star.

Free-will- voluntary decision or decided. 2. the doctrine that human action expresses personal CHOICE and is not determined solely by physical or divine forces.

Lucifer did not think as you've written long enough to REPENT and CHANGE his course of spirit-action, he stop acknowledging God and began identifying with himself.

To know is to understand that only God and Lucifer can truly answer that question. Be blessed in your scriptural endeavors. 

Good afternoon Honorable Rev. Anthony R. Watson,

I share with you, your view that at some point angels had free-will.

God bless you as you continue to be fruitful in your knowledge sharing.

Thanks for gracing my discussion.
