You write, "The angels CHOSE TO LEAVE heaven and follow Lucifer. They did not disobey by leaving, they made a choice to leave. It was because of their chosen rebellion that they HAD to leave."
If you told your child to stay home, yet he or she CHOSE TO LEAVE, didn't he or she disobey by leaving? Angels are not children. God created angels to do His bidding. They have free will to do it or not do and they chose to not do it so they had to leave. Why is that so hard to understand?
How would it be because of his or her chosen rebellion that he or she HAD to leave? Rebellion is sin. It is an UNrighteous attitude. It is PRIDE. These things cannot be in heaven.
Yes, God can create evil or calamity, such as the flood or the 10 plagues for a good reason (justice against wrongdoers), but our loving God did not create Satan and the demons as Satan and the demons. YES HE DID!! Read the Bible!! ONLY SATAN is an angel, once having been called 'Lucifer'. There are NO SCRIIPTURES TO SUPPORT the concept of any other ANGELS being refered to as 'demons'. NONE. Demons are unclean spirits, not unclean angels. He created them as angels who used their freedom of choice to disobey him. Why would our loving God create demons? Demons are for the purpose of tempting us, of doing Satan's bidding, and, like it or not, of entering into our bodies and minds when the door to our soul is opened by sin.
You write, "the BIBLE says that they were on the earth during 'those days' (Noah's days) AND AFTER."
You also write, "Inserting the UNBiblical concept of "after God's statement" is just that...inserting and adding to God's worth that which is not there."
Isn't that what you just did? Not at all. "after God's statement' is heretical. But the Word simply reads "and after" leaving it open to ANY TIME after.
What do you think happened to the disobedient angels when the flood came? Drown? for the ones that left with Lucifer, they are STILL LOCKED in chains; for the ones that came before Noah TO THE EARTH, yes, they drowned. God brought the flood to cleanse the earth.
Though I must be having a difficult time finding scripture to explain spirits, angels, demons (I may continue looking), my understanding is that God created humans and spirits. Humans can choose to be good or bad. Spirits can choose to be good or bad. One major difference is that humans can change back and forth from being good or bad,not really. See Heb 6:4-6 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age tocome, 6and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. God's word tell us that it is IMPOSSIBLE for one to believe and then, in UNbelief, turn away from God and THEN turn back to Him.
and spirits can change from being good to bad, but spirits cannot change from being bad to good. Right God gives spirits only one time to choose, because they were created perfect, but humans after Adam and Eve are not perfect. The whole point of the Gospel is so that we can GET BACK to the perfect, original state that God created us in. He creates evil. But he does NOT create IMperfection. When He finished on the 6th day, He said ALL was good. Even the evil He created was/is perfect...perfectly evil and perfected evil.
