Doctrine of the Fall
before the fall I will be able not to sinThat's the basic interpretation in early Christian religion, taught by my Roman professor. Doesn't this then contradict the concept of a fallen angel? An angel, a being in heaven is not able to sin, and the strict definition of sin is to go against the will of God, and yet the definition of a fallen angel is an angel who has rebelled against the will of God.
after the fall I will not be able not to sin
and in heaven I will not be able to sin
In fact, isn't the whole idea of the "First War in Heaven" a logical fallacy?

i randomly stumbled upon your blog and just read your thoughts...a few questions ran through my head......what of free will? - the option to sin - and who is to say angels were/are not allowed the will to choose? given the fact that, as you said, there are fallen angels, then can one say that this was/is possible?
