    They are bound unable to do anything. They thought they could rebel. God then chained them in darkness. You want that kind of free will, the first time you sin, go immediately to everlasting punishment?

    Satan figured out he could be a better Adversary, than an obedient angel. God let him.

    Where does the Bible teach that angels just move "through space without any limits other than a set course that they cannot deviate from"?

    Where does the Bible teach that the following is true: "A third of the angels are bound right now, as they wished to no longer do what God willed, so they now, cannot do anything"?

    Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    The NT makes clear that there are many demons against whom believers wrestle. This passage and several other passages show that human beings have been facing assaults not just from Satan but also from many other demons over the course of human history.

    From what I understand from the Bible, that God created angels and humans with free will. A gift! That is why Satan the Devil chose to disobey, it is his free will to do so. And remember the angels who were attracted to women, and had gigantic kids called Nephilim - they did because of free will. And we knew that they did not use their free will in good conscience.

    For those who believe that God did make angels themselves to be creative beings, when human beings controlled or influenced by a demon do, make, or say something creative, do you believe that those are also instances that show that God made angels to be creative beings?

    Exodus 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

    No human being (other than Jesus of Nazareth) has ever been able by his own ability to take a non-living, inanimate physical object and make it become a living, moving animal. Aaron did so on this occasion by the power of God.

    The magicians of Egypt also did so with their enchantments. These practitioners of the occult did something that is impossible for any human to do on his own. These magicians did not do so because they somehow on their own discovered some secret information that enabled them to do so.

    These magicians only did so because they were in contact with demons who instructed them about what to do and how to do it, and then empowered them to do so. Is this therefore an account of demonic creativity?
