How was Satan able to commit sin while in heaven with God. When it’s supposed to be sin free?

He wanted to take God’s spot. He was greedy. And he rebelled against God. So if he was able to do it. Will we be able to sin when we get to heaven? And also, would that mean we’re getting kicked out?

    The angels have free will. That free will was exercised contrary to the will of God and the offenders were expelled from heaven and "thrown down." That event is what we call evil; it was Evil that was expelled. The trillions of remaining angels have chosen the will of God, rather than evil. Consequently, evil no longer exists in heaven. It now resides on Earth.

    When we shift our focus from the Creator, we replace HIM with "Self" and creation. What else is there?

    Therefore, we become creators of our own destruction - "SELF" is always in rebellion against God. And that was Lucifer's demise.

    The true believer is placed into the body of Christ [1 Corinthians 12:13]. Therefore, we can be sure that Christ will never remove us from this body [John 6:37]; [John 14:16].

    Isn't it true that we are well able to conquer sin right now...?

    There will be no sin, or sorrow in Heaven [Revelation 21:4] He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

    angels have free will...

    we all know angels can sin...

    (that is why we are flesh and blood today)

    Rev 12:1-4 shows angels sin.

    the dragon is satan (the tail are his followers) = symbolism

    1/3rd of GODS children followed after him.

    SIN will end when this age ends.

    this is why we exist.

    GOD is testing and watching us.

    who enjoys sin?

    who tries to not sin?

    who really tries to not sin?

    everyone sins...

    not everyone plans this...

    there are normal sins

    accidental sins

    habitual sins

    death is the punishment for sin (when you dwell in the flesh).

    but all sins are not equal. some sins lead to eternal death (as well).

    it would be wise to actually study sin and what it is.

    do you know what sin is? (the exact meaning)

    a sin is a transgression of THE LAW

    there are many laws

    there are many punishments for each

    the blood of JESUS heals this wound.

    its always best to try and not sin (this means you need to understand the rules).

    Deut chapter 28 is helpful in this. (these are still relevant today)

    here is some more help

    http://www.therain.org/appendixes/app128.html <=

    THE SYNONYMOUS WORDS USED FOR "SIN", "WICKEDNESS", "EVIL", "UNGODLINESS", "DISOBEDIENCE", "TRANSGRESSION", ETC.

    Appendix 128 To The Companion Bible.

    there is ONE UNFORGIVABLE SIN. (most cannot commit this sin)

    those who hate GOD

    those who love satan

    those who have eternal life

    those with full knowledge of GOD'S PLAN and their role to help

    - are really the only ones who can commit this sin. (these are the predestined ones)

    Matt 10 shows their life (find the wolves) / Rev chapter 2 as well (church of Smyrna)

    these are the ones sealed in Rev 7 (to witness against the false messiah).

    if they should change sides, serve satan and not GOD/JESUS.

    = unforgivable

    they are already judged to eternal life as they walk the earth today.

    they will be delivered up to the false messiah as a witness against him.

    Acts chapter 2 shows the WORDS that shall come....(testimony against him)

    this is a special language. (DIVINE)

    all will hear these words in their native (first born language).

    even the very dialect.

    Mat 10:16 ¶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

    Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

    Mat 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

    Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

    Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

    this was prophecy...

    this never happened in JESUS day...

    SAME EVENT: (the church of the good fig)

    Rev 2:8 ¶ And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

    Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

    Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

    the entire world will witness this. (when the false messiah is here).

    the one pretending to be JESUS. (a supernatural entity)

    2Thess 2:1-4 also shows these things....

    Matt 24 does as well.

    Luke 21?

    Mark 13?

    Rev 13?

    (SAME THING........)

    Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

    ☆ * ・゜ ★ ゚ ・ * ʅ (๑◕ܫ←) ʃ * ・ ゜ ★ ゚・ * ☆

    1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

    i hope this helps

    Because God gave the angels freewill just like he gave man. Those angels who had sinned was ousted from heavenly realms with God and the angels that have kept their integrity.

    Satan is alleged to be smarter than humans.

    Now, imagine that you are in the Presence of a GOD which KNOWS All Things, and which is INFINITELY Powerful.

    If you're as smart as a high-school dropout, you would NOT try to foment a rebellion against a ruler who KNOWS IN ADVANCE your every strategy, and has INFINITE resources to crush the rebellion.

    In light of THAT information, it would certainly seem that the Tellers of Stories made up a story about the existence of a God and the existence of Satan, and told it SO convincingly, that, over the centuries, MILLIONS of people have not noticed the fundamental silliness of the "rebellion" part of the story.

    How are you defining "heaven?" Keep in mind that when most people use that term, they're referring to the beatific vision of Jesus - however that mode of existence didn't begin until Jesus made his sacrifice. Whatever existed before then was a different state. There are various names created to describe it.

    The matter can become somewhat confusing because translators of long ago didn't draw a distinction between references to any abode of God, terming them all "heaven," even though the texts do indicate some manner of change. Similarly, there are problems with using the word "hell," which in some translations refers to both Sheol and the lake of fire, which are not the same at all.

    At first, he was a perfect angel in heaven with God. However, he later thought too much of himself and wanted the worship that rightly belongs to God. - Read Matthew 4:8-10.

    It never took place.

    The bible is a discourse that is based on one opinion …..

    an opinion which wants to establish Man as being nothing more than

    an inadequate vessel that does not know how to offer love, praise, and thanks on its own.

    An opinion which supposes that God is so flawed, that He created Man to be weak.

    An opinion which requires a distraction called "christ" to be a conduit between God and Man.

    And, an opinion which dictates that the Creator of the Universe needs to occur in ‘book form’.

    Anyone who thinks that `God` has ever lost an argument with Satan, or has ever

    allowed an Angel to become fallen without picking them back up, is as much of an idiot as they appear to be.

    The paltry and fabricated god of the bible, is the biggest piece of sh`t that has ever been penned into existence.

  • Satan knows where heaven's secret back door is located so as soon people arrive in heaven, Satan throws them out the back door.
