Isnt that forceful service, making the angels worship him without the ability to deny him like humans?

If i remeber correctly, satan did fall, but he did not deny god. He banished the angel's. But even we do not know the whole story. He lets humans ask for forgiveness, and bestows it on them. If angels sinned... would he forgive them. Are angel's automaticly saved... because satan was already in heaven and got cast out. (i though heaven was the eternal) So if ppl sinned in heaven, can they be bannished to?

I mean free will to deny god, there was the war in heaven, good angels against bad. But never did the bad say they refuse to worship him. They were jelouse of HUMANS. They wanted what humans had, becuase they had his love, the angels had slavery

God did give angels free will. Lucifer and 1/3 of the angels rebelled and were banished from God's presence. The angels are in the presence of God, serving him. They have perfect knowledge of God, so once they make the decision to rebel, there is no turning back. God has revealed himself to humans through the Nation of Israel (Old Testament), through Jesus Christ, and through sacred scripture. We have our lifetimes to learn about God and to accept God's forgiveness. But once we die, then we have no chance to turn back. Hell, which is separation from God, has been prepared for Satan and his demons (former angels). People who make the decision to not seek God will also be separated in the next life. God does not FORCE angels or humans to spend eternity with him like some kind of cosmic rapist. He ratifies the choices that his creatures make for all eternity.

You do know I hope that Satan was an Angel?
Edit:
Can you be banished from Heaven?....No you will know no sin in Heaven
Satan wanted to be a God unto himself so yes he did deny God as his God
Edit2:
Free will to choose to deny God?........When the devil stood up against God he denied God
The suppose ably angels that went with Satan also denied God
When we are in Heaven for those who go.......will we deny God?....No
Will we in Heaven have Free-Will?....I'm sure you will.....but you have to understand there will be no sin in Heaven only Peace.....
Will we want to deny God and become a fallen Angel?......No I don't think we will because of the peace we will have there
Now as far as getting kicked out of Heaven because we have done bad in Heaven?.......There will be no bad up there to tempt you.......(I hope this helps you)

If angels don't have free will, how did so many of them rebel against God and get thrown out of heaven?
Actually, God made a lot of things without free will, like most of the material world. I guess it's possible that some things we call angels don't have it.

God did give angels free will, that is why some angels turned against him and they where thrown out of Heaven. Why do you think that angels don't have free will? Or what do you mean? Could you be more specific?

I would just like to say that if you think about it........
We wouldn't be here today if God didn't give angels free will. Due to Satan's jealousy and having a free will of wanting what God had........ that's why we are here now suffering and living this imperfect life.

The Angels are those Souls that the Creator made from its own body but didn't enter into the Physical universe after GOD created it and stayed near God.Therefor are free of sin.An they can obey GOD if HE wants them to become Guardian Angels or not.Or any other Job that God would like them to do.other than sing his praises.

Obviously he did give angels free will because 1/3 of them followed Satan's disobedience.

They did have free will to disobey God but no hope of redemption for that belonged to mankind.
That is why many rebelled for they were jealous of our souls.
Satan mainly, and he took a third of the angels with him.
Forcefull service? No more than forcing a dog to bark or a cat to meow.
That is what seperates us from them. Our choice of what to do.

God wanted some slaves. I don't know why since he is all powerful. He wants us to keep slaves too!
"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life."
- Leviticus 25:44
"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property."
- Exodus 21:20
