Angels sinned first before human beings

[Arnold1N2D]

This is what I’ve thought…

If Adam and Eve disobeyed because of the temptation of the serpent [the devil] then we can see there that even before they sinned the angels fell first?

Right?

Enlighten me, because this topic is seldom to be talked about.

 

[Francis]

1 John 3:8 Everyone who commits sin is a child of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

This is a known fact.

Council, Lateran IV, 1215:

" For the devil and other demons were created by God good in nature, but they themselves through themselves have become wicked. But man sinned at the suggestion of the devil."

The order of their individual mortal sins, their fall, is snake, woman, man. The cause of the fall of each is in their own will.

Genesis 3

14 Then the Lord God said to the snake: Because you have done this …
16 To the woman he said I will intensify your toil …
17 To the man he said: Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree …

We are not given much information about how exactly Satan ,who is the leader of the fallen angles and who tempts us to sin against God, was originally created. Surely he and all angels come under under the creation of God.By joining some verses given at various places in the Scriptures,we can see that Satan and his aides rebelled against God but God unfortunately,instead of finishing them then and there cast out them to earth where they are forcing humans to commit sin .The original sin though committed by Adam/eve was actually due to him only.Better to be very careful and vigilant against his tricks…

 

[Kaliaa]

Satan and his demons cannot force humans to commit any sin. Humans must consent. Think about the requirements for a mortal sin. If you are saying that original sin was due to Satan only, that is incorrect. Satan did his part, of course, but Adam and Eve gave their full consent by actually committing the sin suggested by Satan.

 

[JerryZ]

You are correct GOD created the Angels first. And Lucifer dissobeyed and took 1/3rd of the Angels with him that refused to serve GOD.

Therefore we can learn from this fact that Angels have free will, same as humans.
Adam and Eve also had free will and chose to disobbey GOD. The Angels cannot repent, they have chosen and their choice is irrevocable since they live outside of time there is no possibility of change with them.
We can change our minds “repent” while we are alive. And GOD sent us a lifeline to reconcile us to HIM…His son Jesus.

 

[CarloCristofori]

The one-third Angels chose the dark way despite their super intelligence and they knew everything and were not tainted with original sin.

 

[joseie]

This one third angels thing.If you are relying on Revelation,note that only the dragon(devil) forcefully pushed them out of heaven and not that they themselves decided to join the devil.Shows that the single person Satan only was responsible for this as in the case of the original sin. Ofcouse you can blame Adam/eve also for the original sin but there is no denying the fact that but for Satan,it would not have happened.He appears to be a really powerful creature indeed!
