If angels exist I assume they have freewill. If some of these angels indeed fell from God's side because of their ungodly desires then would it seem logical that they also could regain God's favor. And if this is the case others that remained in God's good grace could have fallen later on.
Maybe spiritual falls and ascensions are like the waves of the shore. The come in, they go out, but eventually they always return to the sea. By this logic it seems that if some entities did indeed become evil, and assuming one of them is the ringleader, it only seems plausible that the leader from time to time would be usurped, or better yet have a change of heart.

arry, not very open minded of you. Why don't you try to think about this on a theorectical level. That is part of the function of religion, to expand your mind in creative ways which can be used to make helpful correlations in your life.

..............., If the Devil is your enemy it would only be wise to know him/her? You are right not to focus on it to much. Balance however is the key to enlightenment.

Henry W, how did this turn into politics of Bush Bashing, which in my opinion is so prevalent it should be a new Olympic sport. Oh well, if it helps you to see my point more power to you.

GoldenTruthT..., I have read the bible several times over and am very aware of what is proclaimed within. I do treat it as a metaphysical absolute but use it to stimulate my thoughts on spirituality. I believe God has put the truth in our hearts. I chose to listen to mine which tells me that no entity will be forced to suffer an eternity. Instead like fish swimming up stream we will all eventually return to the source of our beginnings.

I love your question. Just last week I went over that again.
The answer I got from the head bad guy "I would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven". Like, he was the most beautiful angel of all. Eventually he thought he was better than anyone else and chose the darkness. Personally I wish he would soften his heart and stop all this dark stuff. He just laughs in my face when I suggest that to him.
God puts it a nice way; they fell. Like a porcelain statue that falls. You can try to glue it back together, but it will never be perfect. Heaven wouldn't be heaven if it wasn't perfect. If anything imperfect was in it then it wouldn't be heaven anymore.
I wish God could go "there, there muddy servent, I'll clean you up and make you good as new", I wish they would turn matter into energy, dark into light, turn from evil into good. For God, the whole of time is like a movie that He has seen many times and He knows how it turns out. These particular servants reject God.
But I'll read your question again, before leaving, because you say what is on my heart.

The Dangers of preconceptions concerning the messengers of God.
God's plan is for both creatures, angels and humans, to realize how helpless and hopeless we are without him.
God makes something out of fallen human creatures that makes Satan to grind his teeth.
In order to understand God's Grace to the max, angels have to study the objects of maximum grace, regenerated humans.
The existence of free will in the human race perpetuates the angelic conflict.

The Devil always claims to be infalliable like the Pope
The Devil feels like he tempted St. Peter enough times that the successors to St. Peter can continue to submit to temptation just as when St. Peter denied Christ three times after His arrest.

YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR HOLY BIBLE! YET YOU ASK ALL THESE SIN FILLED AND PROVOKING QUESTIONS AND HAVE THE NERVE TO ACT INNOCENT! STOP DOING THE DEVILS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It says in the Bible that we "are accountable for every idle word that we say" You are the devils advocate but the sad truth is, the devil is NOBODIES friend. In fact, he seeks to destroy by means of blatant lies and sometimes mild confusion. Stop confusing innocent people with your propaganda. You will be held accountable. You have been kindly warned of the danger in the past by me. Cling to the Holy Bible and prayer for the truth dear readers, BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT GET THE TRUTH FROM THIS MAN WHO POSTS SUCH BLASPHEMOUS QUESTIONS...God deserves better! Honestly, this is a full grown man who has not grown up! BEWARE, Do Not placate him or you may wind up disillusioned and blinded by false doctrine as well. Don't be a fool or the devil's puppet!!!!! God bless you all!

There is no such thing as the Devil. Or leprechauns, vampires, angels, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, werewolves, Santa Claus, etc.

Angels have perfect will not free will!
There is NO redemption for fallen angels, they have all ready been judged and will die!
Satan the author, the General, the one in command of the Fallen, will never relinquish his position.

it best to concentrate on helping others here and now.
