How could angels rebel against God? Do they have free will? I believe the stories in the book of Enoch about them giving man forbidden knowledge and breeding with women. Have all the angels that are going to rebel already done it or do some still fall away occasionally?
Can the top tier angels like Michael rebel?
Angels must have free will since they could rebel, is there any other possibility?
Don't do that
I think Copts believe angels are automatons subject to the Will of God.
At least that's what their Christology says, that Human Will and Divine Will can never fully work together. That's their rejection of Theosis, too.
Angels have a fugton of free will. According to Fr. Ripperger when God creates you He creates a guardian angel just for you and if it refuses to be your guardian it becomes a demon and God generates a new angel until one of them finally wants to be your guardian. So the more dislikeable you are by angels the more demons are generated just for you existing.
You completely misinterpret Fr. Ripperger. Also, what he teaches isn't necessarily true.
That's not how he says it either.
God doesn't create infinite angels until one decides to like you. The idea is God creates a Guardian angel and a personal Demon for you at creation. (That's his theory anyways)
According to Catholic doctrine the angels that rebelded did that before mankind. That's why Satan is already there to winnie the pooh Adam and Eve. As the bible says: the devil sins since the beginning.
As for the other good angels they can never rebel against good because they made their decision long ago to stay faithful with Him. Just like humans do when they go to heaven.
So every angel, from the lowest rank to the highest will never rebel because they love God with all their heart.
That’s not what I heard him say. I heard him say God keeps going at it until one accepts you.
You are mistaken.
Find me the video and I'll hunt down that spot of his sermon for you.
Is it of me or does Fr. Ripperger comes up with some crazy theories sometimes that go against the regular teaching of the Church?
Bump it up bois
I always liked Zig Forums lore
