I was having a conversation with a good friend the other night about the nature and roll of "angels". And this lead us to a talk on are angels capable of emotions.

As I understand it, angles are not capable of having a loving relationship with Yahuweh, because angels do not have free will, and therefore are compelled to do what they do. But my friend pointed out that everything that the adversary does is out of vindictiveness and spite, anger is an emotion, as is hate. So a being that is capable of impassioned hate and anger would have to be capable of other emotions as well, including love.

I thought I would share. Any thoughts?

I don't think it ever states that he is angry, but it is more through his actions. Satan essentially of the opinion if I can't win, I'm taking as many down with me as I can.

He was cast out, and wants to hurt Yahuweh in anyway he can. This to me is anger, and spite.

He is certainly prideful, and I would consider pride an emotion as well.

Also a large part of Pride, is love of self, and love is certainly an emotion.
