Do these fallen angels know that God is USING them and their rebellion, to further his grand plan? I wonder how the fallen angels would feel knowing they are being used in this way?


The fact is, WITHOUT these 'fallen angels'...mankind could not have free will, If Satan did not tempt Adam and Eve in the garden...there would have been no original sin committed, (thus no choice, no free will).
lop off the negative charges in our universe ... whats left?

I sometimes wonder if I once saw an angel. Many years ago my brother and I visited our mother in the hospital. We headed toward an elevator to go to the next floor and a man got on the elevator just a moment before we did. We reached the elevator before the door had a chance to close, got on and went to the next floor. When we got off I asked my brother if we hadn't seen a man get on the elevator just before we did and he said that he had thought so.

A man had got on that elevator and he just wasn't there when we got on. So far as I can remember there was no rear door, and even if there had been there simply was no time for him to have gone through it. Men generally do not disappear into thin air and so I have to think there was a supernatural element involved. Perhaps an angel.

Given the dominant belief about Satan and any "demons" or fallen angels, I have posed that question repeatedly without receiving an adequate answer. What conceivable benefit or purpose could there BE to such a negative effort and ultimately negative fate????

I do not recall ever hearing a coherent answer to that question either, but gathered it was some addiction to self-aggrandizement and from the POV of demons, getting off on the worship that should be going to god, coming to you. Demons were always cartoon villains.

The more I think about it, if they can be worshiped...that could only be possible, because God made it that way!


And it doesnt make much sense, that God would endow them, the ability to receive worship.
