Here's a Twofer

This one is for you Stevan. Last night at a hilarious meeting with some great guys and warm chips w/salsa, a crazy thought was raised by the Youth Pastor in the group. It was a theological question which grabbed my ear immediately. Here we go.

Why did God create Angels with a free will and why did God being all knowing allow Lucifer to go through with his plans because He (God that is) knew what was going on. Then if that is true what did the Angels think there was in Hell for them, but the Hell was created once they revolted. That was the end of that thought.

Next: How many Angels are in a 3rd of the Angels that were cast down. Then I came up with a real wise thought. How many Angels are there actually mentioned by name in the Bible. Well Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer, Stevan said. So that would make Lucifer one third of the Angels, right? I'm sure I would be in trouble with my Theology Prof right now.
