Lucifer's rebellion was all part of God's plan. That's what help give us all choice. We have to choose to not follow temptations by Lucifer. Thta's part of out test here on Earth.

God created Lucifer and for the purpose of giving us the right of choosing our own path of good or evil, God knew what lucifer was going to do before he even did it oh and don't worry God will destroy him but when God is ready to.
No one knows why things are this way but God does.

Lucifer was also a creation of God, and God loves him. He was a fallen Angel of Light. God has cursed him and taken away his free will. As to why, what makes you think that things would have turned out better if God had listened to your plan?

Because even God will not over rule living beings right of choice.
Instead he made a plan of redemption. That plan was in existence even before Lucifer's rebellion.
He wants service of love and of free will. Not of force and fear.
To force conscience is against God's will.

God is too weak to destroy Lucifer. Its clear that Lucifer was the one who REALLY ran heaven. God is just a puppet, Satan has the real power.

God gave humans freewill. He is letting us choose for ourselves which side we want to be on. But there were also creations in the heavens that also had freewill and had to make a choice. Revelations 12:9 speaks of Satan and his "angels" being cast out of the heavens. Remember just because God can see the future doesn't mean He gets involved to change it. He has a plan and it's up to us to learn what that is and adjust our lives in accord with it.

Satan challenged God's rulership. The angels were watching. God allowed Satan to rule the earth for about 6,000 years, to prove his point. We see the point now, hopefully.
After this example, if the question of God's right to rule and the quality of his rulership ever arises again, by man or angel,in all eternity, the decision will be quick, based on this particular example.
Satan will be destroyed after he tempts perfect mankind at the end of Christ 1,000 year reign.

Lucifer isn't in the Bible. Neither is the defeated angel rebellion, nor the casting out of heaven. That's what's known as Christian mythology. The one and only use of the word 'lucifer' in the bible is where it means 'light of the morning star' which is a reference to Venus. Look it up.

Probably because Lucifer serves a purpose in God's plan. God has never wanted to remove temptation from men, He is the one who planted the fruit that tempted Eve. God wants us to resist temptation, and thereby show our true character. Everyone has a strong will, until there is a temptation to resist.

Apparently God found it more useful to have Lucifer stay in existence to provide the temptation necessary to test Adam and Eve.
