You have God, and supposively God created all things including free will. You have the angels who are servants of God and the only understanding or knowledge they have is strictly from God. When Lucifer rebels against God how is it possible for him to learn of rebellion without God teaching it? The point I am trying to make is this, if God didn't teach the angels the act of rebellion it wouldn't exist in their minds. Therefore they wouldn't be capable of doing such a thing without learning it from some source. As for the snake in the Garden of Eden that was after Lucifer was supposively kicked out of Heaven. Now my point being if God was the teacher and giver of free will, to the initial lifeform then aren't the qualities of all life forms based on God? That includes lieing, stealing, cheating, killing, happyness, sadness etc.?

Religion is the most dangerous energy source known to humankind. The moment a person (or government or religion or organization) is convinced that God is either ordering or sanctioning a cause or project, anything goes. The history, worldwide, of religion-fueled hate, killing, and oppression is staggering. —

the bottom line is that they were angels, we are people, etc. none of us are robots.
we have free will, not programming.
all qualities of all life are based on God AND on us making the myriad of choices we do on a daily basis.
there would be no hunger in the world if we decided as a unified planet, that no one should ever be hungry.
there would be no need for abortion, if we decided as a unified planet, that every pregnancy was a blessing from God.
there would be no crime, if we decided as a unified planet, that everyone should have enough food, have a clean place to live, have their emotional needs met, should feel valued in society and had every opportunity to contribute based on their abilities.
that unified planet is what God made Christians to strive for...

God gave everyone a choice between good and evil. This choise, or better yet freedom comes with problems. People will be good others bad. God is all knowing and with the knowledge of sin from the forbiden fruit of eden we are capable of sin. I take it angels have the same freedoms....

You are trying to blame God for all mans actions. You are made in Gods image. He made you so that you know right from wrong. You make your own choices.
Do not blame God for the choices people make.

And free will should be that, free to use as wanted and not with any stipulations that it's free but only if it's what god wants you to do...........therefore negating any freedom of will.
