Can someone explain how Lucifer's fall isn't part of the biblical God's plans if he had no free will?

Royal Racer: What do you mean? Lucifer, the morning star, was God's most beautiful, brightest angel. Geez how could you not know this?

Angels do not have free will. Lucifer and the angels who fell with him carried out the will of God.

Actually, since the Abrahamics god is omniscient, how could Lucifer's fall not be part of the plan? Or in other words, how can people claim the Abrahamic god is good when he obviously and purposefully created Lucifer so that he would fall.

Lucifer is an angel, and all of Gods creation has free will.

that's what the e book of Enoch is in reality approximately. a bunch of angels mated with human women, and Enoch became sent with the help of different lesser angels to tell the fornicating ones that their time is close to, or some thing like that. After each thing became mentioned and achieved (do no longer particularly understand what occurred to the fornicating angels), Enoch became given a excursion of Heaven, extra or much less. the tip. Enochian magic is termed after this e book, because of the fact a good style of the angels pronounced interior the e book of Enoch are additionally used interior the equipment.

Angels have free will, some went with satan...Most stayed with God........
Angels don't need salvation like we do and they marvel at it........And the bible says in, 1 Peter 1:12-
Even the angels long to look into these things........

Who said that he didn't have free will?
The Bible doesn't state specifically that angels have free will, but I assume they do because so many disobeyed God.
It also makes sense that God does use the devil to get us to decide one way or the other. But I for one think that angels have free will.

Angels do have free will. God's plan which is to dwell with man will be carried out at the 2nd coming. Those who by their free will choose to be the enemy of God , work against God's plan. This does not mean that God is directing them to do things contrary to his plan . It only means God through his foreknowledge of all things knows what they will do. In that way it all blends into God's plan. God does not say to Satan or any one else.You are going to be evil to further my plan .God says I know you are going to be evil and go against my plan , but since I gave you free will , I'm going to let you do it. But God in his mercy has warned everyone that He God will win in the end and that his plan will go down just as he has mandated it in spite of Satan and all that oppose God. Hope this helps... Merry Christmas!!

What makes you say angels have no freewill
of course they do.
(Jude 6) 6 And the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.
By lying to Eve in the garden of Eden, a certain angelic creature made himself the wicked spirit Satan the Devil. Afterward he began trying to get other angels also to turn against God. In time he succeeded. Some angels stopped the work that God had given them to do in heaven, and they came down to earth and made for themselves fleshly bodies like those of humans. The Christian disciple Jude wrote about them when he mentioned “the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place.”

The Bible only alludes to the history of the fall the site above explains much about the Churches teaching on Satan.

They do have free will. One third of the angels followed lucifer. It took free will to do it.
