So, originally Angels had free will because the third of them were allowed to Rebel and Fall Away.
At what point did the good angels lose Free Will and become essentially robots that never disobey?
I firmly believe that the fall of the Angels was part of God's plan, if such a story is at all true. To say otherwise, is to suggest that God is not omnipotent.
God knew it well in advance before he ever created an angel if the angel was going to rebel against him or be faithful to him. If he didn't want enemies, he would have never made them.
So what exactly happened after the fall, that caused the faithful angels to lose their free will? Did God just place some sort of a blessing over them that they would never desire to disobey?
If God didn't want the angels to rebel, why didn't he just make angels that way to begin with?
If God is omnipotent, it's obvious that he wanted enemies and he wanted Satan and the fallen angels to fall!
It makes the story a lot more entertaining that way. I'm sure after having existed for all eternity, (trillions and trillions of years of existing) God found it rather boring without all the drama.
