The statement that only people have free will is Biblically incorrect. God endowed angels with volition also. Nevertheless, it was God’s decree which determines all the intentions and actions of creatures (material or immaterial). Satan fell because God determined that Satan would freely want to fall.

Who said ONLY humans have free will? Angels are created beings also. Humans were created "a little lower than the angels." So says the scriptures. They have free will. They could choose their actions, otherwise Satan would have not rebelled and attempted to overthrow the throne of God....which for some reason he did not know you cannot win.

Basically all creatures have free will and can do as they please God has his rules and he list the benefits of following them also the consequences of not doing so most intelligent creature follow them out of love for him satan was originally created perfect and got jealous of all the worship and attention god was getting and felt he should have some of it so he decieved eve into disobeying by lying to her and thus became satan the devil meaning resister ,slanderer opposer and father of the lie he chose to do bad as did the other wicked ones who followed him and they were kicked out of Heaven with him Revelation 12 :7-9 hope this helps gorbalizer

Satan got the idea that he was better than God and wanted to be worshipped. It was pride that caused him to defy God.

According to Christianity, angels have free will.
According to Islam, angels don't have free will, but Satan was a Djinn.

Well the simple answer is Satan doesn't exist.
Oh, and neither does god.

boredom can make a saint become an animal in the absence of animals to be saved, so the cycle continues

Why do you limit free will to people only.
May I see your Bible proof text?
Thank you.
