I mean - God was in direct communication with Lucifer, without being able to get Lucifer back in the ranks. That, to me, sound like God was short of valid arguments.
Even a third of God´s angels wasn´t convinced by God´s words.
Why should I be convinced of something, which the originator himself seemingly cannot argue for properly?

Excellent question.Seemingly beings more powerful than us,with absolute knowledge of god's power and existence,turned away from him.Doesn't sound like a very convincing story.

I agree lucifer choose his own path and influenced some angels to follow. Trust me if you read Revelations and you had to pick a side would you want to a) Burn forever in a lake of fire with lucifer or b) have every tear wiped away, no more death, to live in paradise with Him forever. I can tell you right now lucifer don't care about you, he may know he's going to lose or he just may still be down right stubborn, but one thing is for sure, he doesnt want to be alone and he will try to turn away as many people as he can from God.

Lucifer chose to continue to rebel- God could have forgiven Him, however he did not want forgiveness, he wanted to be like God with all his power- CHOICE again- God offers us salvation, not all will receive- due to the same thing- choice

trouble-free: We ain't mindless zombies, pawns of the gods. we've the unfastened will to tutor our backs on the gods of our ancestors if we so desire, and society may well be punished for that betrayal, or it may no longer. although, i do no longer think of the gods require the validation of mortals to exist. They probable look down at each and every of the mindless drones following the lifeless zombie jew guy questioning, 'oh properly, a minimum of we are left with in basic terms the folk who certainly have faith in us, no longer human beings going interior the path of the motions.' it particularly is greater advantageous than i'm able to assert for the Christian god. besides, you overlook that the Xians have been supported via the could of the Roman Empire's paperwork and in case you have the could of such an empire in the back of you, any faith could be waiting to dominate. Hell, i ought to, with those materials, propagate worship of my left foot's toe if i needed to!

To this day I am sure Lucifer knows who created Him. He just took the energy and ran with it. Big Mistake. You cannot play with God's clay and expect to have the same results unless you do it according to the creative vision that He gives you. Even if you miss the target a little it can send you into eternal abyss. Knowing the truth and not being able to touch it would be hell.

God reveals that only a few people will choose to be saved. It is not the power of the message, but the will of the person hearing it.
Matthew 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

It wasn't a matter of arguments or proof, Satan became jealous and sought God's place, which he can't have. He got a lot of angels to follow him, I don't know how, but I'd guess he convinced them they'd be better off or would have more authority.

First of all, satan was in heaven with God. There was no need to convert. satan just chose to rebel against God. He was filled with pride. He is an idiot. That is his fault. God doesnt need to argue with others. That isnt who He is. And he would win anyway. God's words are true, no matter what, he doesnt need you to be convinced of them to make them true. You dont even know what you are up against.

I think it is pretty safe to say that most Christians I know aren't smarter than the Joe Cool of angels.
He must know something that we don't.

We have God's grace now because of Christ.
