If heaven is perfect and Lucifer was one of God's favorites, why did he rebel? Can chaos happen in heaven?

Answer 1

It could only happen if god consented to it since god is the perfect being and all knowing. Therefore god was responsible for evil.

Of course that would be if I believed.

Answer 2

Chaos can happen anywhere that there is free will. God gave angels and humans alike, free will!
He rebelled because he became puffed up with his Own pride and physical beauty. He wanted the worship from the humans that was really due GOD. and He thought about these things until his sin became a reality. Then he acted upon his thoughts.
Until the Battle for Heaven were Micheal drove the Original Dragon, Satan and his demons from Heaven, yes there was chaos in Heaven. Read the first 3 chapters of Job when Satan walked right in among his faithful brothers and challenged God Almighty to a test!

Answer 3

Nowhere in the Bible, or other texts, is it claimed that Heaven is perfect and all life that God has created has the gift, or curse, of free will. Lucifer fell into the trap of vanity and became jealous of God;s glory and power so he rebelled with the intention of taking God's place.......that is the main theme of the story and yes, chaos did come to heaven in the form of a spiritual war. We fight with our Spirit everyday.

Answer 4

Lucifer rebelled because God was a cruel creator and someone needed to put an end to the madness that God had in store for humans. The whole thing with the serpent, the tree of knowledge and eternal damnation when all god had to do was NOT make a serpent in the first place, this ticked Lucifer off. God doesn't like second guessing, especially when he's proven wrong, so Lucifer had to go. He was making God look bad in front of the other Angels.

Answer 5

Consider this: if beings have "free will," then there are evidently some things of which God is ignorant and over which He has no control. That's the only explanation of how any being could ever "rebel" against God. So either we have to downgrade our standard definition of God as omniscient and omnipotent, or we have to admit that "Lucifer/Satan/etc" was part of God's plan, designed by Him to act as he did, and so was the Fall of Man, and so, ultimately, was the Redemption of Man via the sacrifice of Jesus. It's as if God set up the entire universe just to be able to sacrifice His own son. That's Christian theology for ya!

Answer 6

God's ideas, true, perfect, spiritual, and eternal have never and will never rebel against their creator. There is no chaos in heaven, for heaven is a divine state of consciousness, and there is no night there. Rays of sunlight never turn and say, I am dark now. Mankind is deceived in a fashion that goes almost undetected to most.

Answer 7

I'd like to know that too. That kind of question got you detention for being insubordinate in Catholic school. Besides, from what I remember, humans were the first creations to have free will. If the angels didn't have free will, then how was Lucifer able to rebel? Did he give himself free will? Just another example of the contradictions in that old book.

Answer 8

Women? Genesis 6 and Jude 6 Tells that the spirit persons are son's of God. As such they are direct creations of God.
So yes they are perfect, but they were given free will.
It tells how they looked down from heaven and saw the daughters of men that they were good looking and wanted to be men and live with women. so they took on human bodies and married women. They used their free will the wrong way.
Many men who marry the love of their life and have children and wouldn't hurt her for anything. See this young beautiful women and become swept away and commit adultery.
It is a known fact this happens everyday.
God gave man that powerful urge and made women to be submissive. Which powerful men and angels find attractive.
He was making a gift for him. She was perfect, Satan was attracted and wanted her attention. After she died he went to another women and another until the flood.
god won't let him back into a man's body but he can influence women and most spiriest is women, and attractive women.

Answer 9

The story is just a myth dear. It has paralells in a number of other religions and mythologies. It corresponds almost perfectly with the story of Prometheus, but he was a good guy and a human benefactor. Ironically, he also corresponds strongly to Christ, condemned by Zeus and tortured because he tried to help mankind.

Answer 10

God leaves that one door open,FreeWill. In order to have true love you have to have the choice to love or not.Lucifer chose his ego over God and tried to rush the throne.
Jesus said"I saw Satan ,like lightning ,fall from heaven."
He didn't even have a speck of a chance against his creator.That's why he hates the creation.He still goes up there now to accuse the brethern(Job 1,Zechariah 3).But one day he will be banned (Rev. 12:7-18)
