<P class=MsoPlainText>Why would you think otherwise? Besides for all the
places where it says that they did actually disobey or could (fruit trees, by
kol nidrei, etc.), what is the sevara not that way? AFAIK, only that the
malachs knowledge is on a much clearer level, but this doesn't preclude them
from choosing to disobey.<o:p></o:p></P>

factions of angels and HKB"H taking sides and angels refusing to do HKB"H's
will would be OK according to your mehalech (sounds parallel
to Greek mythology but I've always been confused by "angels" in tanach
vs.. talmud). I was taught "angels" were beings without free will who
did HKB"H's single and direct command and that any "counterexamples" that I
pointed out needed to be understood as lessons not
reality.</FONT></SPAN></o:p></P>
