Kosta: so the only conclusion one can come up with is that God specifically created some angels to be discarded for no reason whatsoever! Absurd. HD: Well, that's what happened. Pretty much like why God planted the tree in the Garden
HD, God planted the tree in the Garden in order to teach us that our freedom is not unlimited. That's not creating us just to be discarded.

That IS what happened. And to your comment as it would apply to humans, I don't see the difference between predestining one to hell and creating one already knowing that he will use his free will to choose against God. In both cases, the person's destiny is set in stone within God's foreknowledge BEFORE the act of creation, yet God went ahead anyway.
