Allow a heretic to put in a thought, beliefs, whatever. I do believe there is evil and good. I don't believe it is possible for an angel to fall. As I understand the old tales, Satan was tasked with trying the faith of humanity. The prosecutor before the Throne of Judgement. Naturally enough all of mankind fears and detests him. Angles are aspects of characteristics of the Almighty and the is why so many names end in El. Lord. It seems it wouldn't be possible for any angel to rebel. Betray itself? Renounce itself? An immortal knows better. Evil may, perhaps, be another aspect of the Most High. The Lord of Hosts is all things and must be or there would only be the Void as in the beginning. Ok. I'll shut up. Just saying we make a lot of silly assumptions as mortal beings trying to touch, grasp, the infinite. I follow Joshua, Jesus, because I am convinced he teaches the best way to live with each other. God on earth speaks to God on High. That is a very old thing and happened many times. God only died on earrh once and it shook the Almighty into a mercy for us all. Almost nobody understands what's going on. It's a journey. Together. With Him. Just try to be worthy. You only need try. Brothers and sisters in life; we are blessed more than anyone knows! It's only the beginning.
