Okay, I haven't had time to read all the posts in their entirety so forgive me if I say something that has already been mentioned. In merely want to point out one flaw in the argument that Satan, Lucifer, Azezel, the Serpent was the orriginator of free will. Read your Genesis chapter 3 again, my friend. Without free will, Adam and Eve would not have been able to listen to the suggestion of the serpent and thus choose to be disobedient to the command of God. The forbidden fruit gave them (us) the knowledge of good and evil, not free will. Free will is part of what makes human kind "created in the likeness of God". That's what distinguishes us from the angels. We have the ability to choose to be obedient. Satan did not give us this ability, we were created with it.
I'm sure I'll have more to say when I've got more time to read.
Until then...
