How did Satan and other angels sin if heaven is sinless?
Answer
The Bible teaches that Satanwas created in perfection and given a prominent position in heaven (Ezekiel 28:11–15).
He was “full of wisdom and perfect in beauty” (verse 12). God appointed him the highest-ranking angel. From his place of great privilege, Satan led possibly one thirdof heaven’s angels in a rebellion against God (Ezekiel 28:16–17; Revelation 12:4).
Did satan sin first
God expelled him from heaven, casting him down to the earth (Ezekiel 28:16–18).
The sin that caused Satan to fall from heavenwas pride (1 Timothy 3:6). Isaiah describes how it happened: “How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning!
You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. For you said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north.
I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.’ Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths” (
