Good points.
If God never provided Adam with a choice, man would never know the depths to which we can sink trading Paradise for a piece of fruit. I suspect the same is true about Satan. The angels would never have thought it would be possible that they would rebel against God without God showing what they were capable of.
We are all fallen creatures without His sustaining grace to draw us to Him and to keep us in His presence.
Why does God allow evil? Only by seeing ourselves as we are will we repent and be drawn to Him.
It sure would have had to be something a whole lot better than a dang apple to tempt me....wonder if there will be pizza and chinese and ice cream and everything we like here in heaven. Cause my body there won’t gain a pound! lol
Hallelujah! :)
