Okay, if there is a Heaven, which I believe in God and Heaven, why did the angel Michaelangelo or whoever the devil was before he got thrown out of Heaven have a mind of his own?I thought that Heaven makes us perfect and we don't have to deal with sin anymore. If that is the case, why did this angel have a mind of his own to destroy and want to take over being God? What is to say about the demons? Why did they follow the devil to Hell? I am just wondering. What gave them the power to know right and wrong if they were in Heaven? My hope is that when I get to Heaven, there will be no more sin for me. That I will endure no temptation and only be struck with awe and beauty as I gaze into our Father's eyes.

God grants free will to us all, the same way we excercise this free will to this day on Earth. It is the same in heaven. Satan was once the angel of light Lucifer, a creation of God. However, he led people away from God because of his lust to be worshipped as God was.
What is to say about the demons? Why did they follow the devil to Hell? I am just wondering. What gave them the power to know right and wrong if they were in Heaven?
Well they didn't exactly follow him to hell, they simply followed him. This is a complex issue and it will be hard for me to answer in a short response here, but I'll do my absolute best YHVH willing.I guess you can say, in a simplified nutshell, the demons followed Satan because he gave them this idea of "freedom" from God. Satan gave them to know the power of right and wrong; that's why he's given the title the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the wonderful book of Genesis. Satan is evil and to commit evil is to go away from God. However, you cannot blame it on Satan because these demons chose it this way.
My hope is that when I get to Heaven, there will be no more sin for me. That I will endure no temptation and only be struck with awe and beauty as I gaze into our Father's eyes.
There won't be as promised by our Father God. What a truly joyous day that will be for us all!

Ephesians 5: 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not havingspot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.THE CHURCH IS NOT PERFECT…………. AS LONG AS IT HAS FLESH THAT IS CORRUPTION IN ITSELF…………. It makes sense if we consider it is the new body we are to have when Raptured….. 1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.We are made of flesh and even though saved …. We are housed in corruption.`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````*NEXT LETS FOCUS ON THE BODY TALK........WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT A *BODY?THIS BODY WE ARE IN IS CORRUPT.WE INHERIT ******NEW BODIES MADE OF INCORRUPTION…….THEY DO NOT AGE……….WE MUST LIVE IN THEM FOR ETERNITY…NO SPOT, NO WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING……….. But that it should be holy and without blemish.~~~~~~~~~~~~~No imperfections, no aged wrinkles, no disease, no corruption………….. Holy and without blemish.1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, `Reserved for us.1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (Saved we will inherit.)We shall have a new Glorified Body …Philippians 3:21 Who shall........... change our...... vile..... body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.JESUS SHALL CHANGE OUR VILE BODIES OF CORRUPTION AND GIVE US A NEW BODY OF INCORRUPTION..........THAT IT MAY FASHIONED LIKE UNTO HIS ...........GLORIOUS BODY......AND THEY WILL NOT AGE OR HAVE SICKNESS........OR BLEMISH...............IMAGINE THAT...WE WILL NEVER DIE..........AND NEITHER WILL THE BODY!WE CAN NOT EQUATE OURSELVES WITH ANGELIC BEINGS.............My personal thoughts;............ God gave them free will.........just as he did us......To let them choose what they would do...........It seems God has a tendency to......... Let what may ...let......... NO PUPPETS.............. In Heaven or on earth. I CAN TELL YOU............FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT ENTER HEAVEN............ONCE WE ARE CHANGED TO INCORRUPTION................WE SHALL SIN NO MORE.God BlessLove123
