I have two questions really. According to Christian beliefs, do angels have free will? If the answer is yes, then that indirectly answers my second question.
If they don't, how was Lucifer able to chose to rebel against God, and thus become the Devil? Without free will he could not have chosen his own path, so this confuses me, unless angels do have free will and therefore have the choice to sin (and in the process they are doomed without a chance for redemption). This also makes me wodner how so many angles left God according to the Bible and followed Lucifer. Did that require free will?
This is a legitimate question, I am not trying to insult anyone's beliefs, I just really want someone to explain it to me without accusing me of "trying to instill my faithless ideas" on them. Much thanks.
