If the human condition of sinfulness started when Adam and Eve chose to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, could angels perhaps not have knowledge of good and evil? Is it possible to oppose the will of God without this knowledge? Is it possible to be held accountable for sin without this knowledge?

well I think that basically the other angels don't commit the sin of pride because Satan was the "highest" angel in heaven, and most powerful, now if he was cast down, I dont' think anybody would think they were better than God. I don't know if this was said somewhere else in this thread but even Michael the archangel did not try and handle Satan, but said something along the lines of, "May God rebuke you." Might not be Michael maybe Gabriel, but I don't have the verse on hand.
