Since God created everything can He be accused of creating bad? Psalms 148:1-2
I guess the question is, did God "cause" a third of the heavenly host to sin against Him and follow in Satan's footsteps, or are the fallen angels at fault because they freely chose to disobey Him
I believe the latter is the case.
...do we believe angels have freewill?
Angels do not die, being of God's nature, they cannot die. Seeing that sin brings death, it follows therefore that they cannot sin. Angels are messingers or servants of God, obedient to Him , therefore it is impossible to think of them as being sinful. The Greek word aggelos (angels) is also translated as messingers when speaking of human beings: Matthew 11:10 and his (JOHN'S) messengers, Luke 7:24 and the messengers of Jesus, Luke 9:52 ; and the men who spied out Jerico, James 2:25; It is, of course, possible, that "angels" in the sense of human messengers, can sin.Greetings, he-man. Agreed. The same argument could be made concerning mankind. Were Adam and Eve created evil? I don't see anything in the creation account to justify believing that. It is only after they fell that evil entered the world, and mankind began to practice murder. But surely there are evil men and women in the world today (I'm assuming I wouldn't have to give examples). Yet just because they choose to become evil through their own freewill, this is not a proof that God created them that way. So the question becomes, do we believe angels have freewill.
Angels do not die, being of God's nature, they cannot die. Seeing that sin brings death, it follows therefore that they cannot sin.
Mark 12:25 should answer your question. Eccelesiastes 12:7 The (Soul) Spirit returns to God and the soul which is thehuman body returns to dust.Do you believe in the afterlife, and the immortality of the human soul?

Job 34:14-15 ...if He gather unto Himself His Spirit and His breath, all flesh shall perish together, and man shall return to dust again. Now back to the topic "Can Angels Sin" Seeing that sin brings death, it follows therefore, that Angels cannot die.The reason I was asking is because if the human soul doesn't die then there's not really much difference between them and angels, since angels never attain to flesh. The spirit never truly dies in either case.

Who do you think?What are they then?
NO only God has immortality. And you are disrupting this thread, we are discussing Angels.he-man, my point was that humans don't really die. You agreed that they live eternally.

God alone is the source of immortality, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't created other immortal beings/angelsI was still trying to figure out what in the world you believe.
But I guess I'll be moving along. Take care.
