Angels get to live happily in heaven, whereas man has to go through all the sufferings on earth! How do you explain that? What's the difference between angels and humans?
Angels also have free-will and are capable of sinning (Satan and the fallen angels). So why is it that angels don't need to accept Jesus through faith before entering heaven?

Angels dont need to accept Jesus as savior because Jesus died only for humans sins.
If Angels had sin, they punished and no more forgiveness coz Angels had seen God's Glory in Heaven. (For ex Satan. No more forgivenes for Satan)
The rest of Angels in Heaven and serve God everyday and do what God instruct them until now.

Remember, that things weren't always so hunky-dory in heaven either...
"And war broke out in heaven: Mi′cha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled " -Revelation 12:7
Angels are perfect beings of God. The angels that did not follow Satan remained perfect. Hence, they do not need the sacrifice of Jesus to cover any sins.
Many of man's problems are their own fault. If everyone loved one another, this world would be a different place. Rather, Jesus said that "the love of the greater number would cool off" (Matthew 24:12). "Man has dominated man to his injury" says Ecclesiastes 8:9. Another reason we have problems on this earth is because "the whole world is lying in the power of [Satan]" (1 John 5:19). Satan was thrown to the earth after the war in heaven. Soon, though, the earth will be cleansed, making way for a new righteous society (Psalm 37:9-11, 29)

Humans are descendants from Adam and Eve, who disobeyed God and sinned. All humans carry that original sin, and we're told the only way to get forgiveness is to accept Jesus. The Earth was created as a paradise but people messed it up. Had humans not done that we would have had a free pass to paradise too.
Angels were created in Heaven. The ones who sided with Lucifer and rebelled against God cannot be forgiven. They can never get back into Heaven.
People live through the sufferings on Earth because they got themselves kicked out of paradise (the garden of Eden). Fallen angels "live" through the sufferings in Hell because they got themselves kicked out of Heaven.
The only difference here being that humans can gain forgiveness and enter into paradise once they die on earth. Fallen angels will forever be punished for their rebellion. I think humans actually have it easier because of that. Atleast we can get forgiveness.

Angels are heavenly beings and man is an earthly being with a heavenly spirit in him, a soul, now back in Genesis 6 the sons of God or the angels left heaven and came to earth and mated with the daughters of Adam and the giants were born, read Genesis 6, that is why we had the flood of Noah to wipe all the hybrid flesh, the offspring of the fallen angels, in fact this is how they fell.

from the Islamic point of view.. Angels are totally different creations from God.. They are created of light. The devil was not a fallen angel (as viewed in Islam) he was a unique creation all to himself.. He is created of fire.. he was given free will where the angels dont have free will, they only do what God orders them to do.. They are the work horses.. They send messages (to prophets etc) protect people, help guide souls, guard heaven and hell entrances, etc etc. When God ordered angels and Satan to bow to Adam, Satan refused.. Thats where all that started, the angels had no choice, they hear and they obey. Angels do not sin.. they reside in heaven.

This is a very good question.
In my natural mind I would say that it is totally unjust and unfair that we should have to struggle so much and the angels don't seem to have to struggle at all.
I guess I have to become like a little child and trust my heavenly Father that He knows what He is doing.
Isaiah 55:8-9
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.

They were created in heaven, and have no idea about how significant salvation is. They do not have a much free will as we do. If God says to Satan and he's angels, "don't touch this person" then they can't

They have never been in the flesh as we humans are. The ones that fell are condemned forever, the ones that didn't fall never will. The were created before humans. They all dwell right there with God we were created to dwell here on the earth. The first man walked and talked with God and disobeyed and was cast away from God for God is Holy and can't dwell with any form of unholiness, we all are given to opportunity to choose either you are with God or you are not, God is clear about that.

The Angels are somewhat forward people interior the unfastened will depot. they have it, and those in Heaven are people who chosen to serve God. those in Hell are people who rebelled. Jesus suggested that the Angels do no longer marry, yet in line with probability they're allowed love. Idk, incredibly. There does no longer be any want for them to breed via fact they're eternal. in the event that they are able to fall in like it ought to no longer probable be that considerable. i've got self assurance that Heaven has geners, via fact of Mary, Jesus's mom, who ascended into Heaven interior the flesh. Jesus, too, ascended in his human physique. So yeah, i've got self assurance there is lady and male, yet gender's in all probability no longer all that considerable the two. Angels are to help everybody, and safeguard all. They do desire the saved, i assume, yet that should no longer cause them to wasteland everybody who desires God the main. i do no longer understand what "help their own direction" skill. Sorry. :P this is all i understand.

they already accepted God, plus they have a much higher responsibility than humans that is why they get to go back and forth, and also they have a different and higher knowledge and wisdom than what humans have BUT those things have disadvantages 1 thing is God could not forgive them eventhough they have repented they have to "prove" themselves once again, but for humans all we need is to repent(Thats because they are a little higher than us, that is why they have a better understanding of things, and are expected to be perfect), remember when you pick on your little sibling and when Mom comes she will say: "You are older so you should let it go" even though he/she started it??? its something like that
