1 | Angels have free will? | Is 14:13 | Emmaus | 80210 | ||
Lovemuch, Like men, angles were created good because all that God created was good. Angels are pure spirit beings consisting of intellect and will. Apparently they too were tested in some fashion and once their choice was made for or against God it was irrevocable. It is akin to man in this sense according to John Damescene and Early Church Fathers: "There is no repentence for the angels after their fall, just as there is no repentence for men after death." Having no physical bodies they do not have the same "deadline" as we do. Their choice,once made for or against God is irrevocable. These are of course theological deductions based on Scripture which is not explict on this question in all the particulars. I hope this is of some help to you. Emmaus |

2 | Angels falling today? | Is 14:13 | lovemuch | 80421 | ||
Emmaus, thank you for your reply, but there's still some things that i'm not quite sure on. i understand now that angels do indeed have a free will and choice, but i have one more question. if angels do indeed have a choice, is it possible that angels are still falling today? or was that a one time only choice, they either go with satan at that time or not at all? or, if an angel (foolishly) decided that they wanted to follow satan, could the leave God today? so, could we assume that angels are falling at this present time? | ||||||
