1 Are angels capable of sinning now? Gen 48:16 eneliko 168445
  do angels have freewill? if so, are any of the angels capable of committing the same sin that lucifer made or any other kind of sin? If angels don't have freewill. Was Lucifer made for the pupose of being satan? which would be another choice other than God for man to choose
2 Are angels capable of sinning now? Gen 48:16 BradK 168448
  Dear eneliko,

"The basic teaching of the Bible is that there are three groups of angels; unfallen and free, fallen and free, and fallen and confined. All of the free ones are very active in things that touch the lives of believers and unbelievers alike. As opponents of God and perverted servants, the fallen angels attempt to thwart His purposes. As perfect servants, the unfallen angels actually form a company of friends of the elect."
[Karleen, Paul S. The Handbook to Bible Study]

They do posses will according to Isa. 14:12–15 and Jude 6. Basically, satan fell because of his pride and desire to "be like God" (Is. 14:12-14)

I like how our pastor said it once. "All you have to do to go to hell is, nothing!" The theme song to hell was written by Frank Sinatra: "I Did It My Way".

Speaking the Truth in Love,

BradK
