Bible Question: Do angels have a free will as humans do? |
Bible Answer: Hello creech9, Yes. Jud 1:6(KJV) "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." " 'But left their own habitation' - To wit, according to the common interpretation, in heaven. The word rendered “habitation” [ ** ] occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. It means here that heaven was their native abode or dwelling-place. They left it by sin; but the expression here would seem possibly to mean that they became “dissatisfied” with their abode, and voluntarily preferred to change it for another. If they did become thus dissatisfied, the cause is wholly unknown, and conjecture is useless." (Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible) [** Greek letters omitted - not allowed on forum format] by Grace, eklektos |
