In Topic: Battle of Good vs Evil

What the bible tells us is:

 

1) Angels cannot disobey God's will

2) There was a rebelion

3) The rebels were cast out of heaven

4) The angels that did not participate were banished to earth to walk powerless amongst humans until Armageddon

 

How does this tale contradict the scriptural evidence?

In the same manner that the story of Judas' betrayal (which has recently been proved false) was inferred because it is the simplest explanation so is the story of the rebellion but as everyone knows life is never as simple as it seems.

 

The current story leaves many questions unanswered:

1) If angels cannot disobey God's will, how could Lucifer lead a rebellion?

2) If God is all knowing, why would he chose an angel that will in the future lead a rebellion as his right hand, unless he wanted the rebellion to occur?

3) Why were the angels that rebelled not punished, since the way it is phrased in scripture makes it seem like they lost the battle?

4) Why were the angels that did not participate on either side of the rebellion, the ones that did get punished instead?
