15 "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."
Ways means actions and behaviors, implying free will.
then iniquity was found in you. separate from and deeper that actions.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
because of the resulting behavior you are selling yourself as greater than me, says God, and this is sin, so out you go.

God is not immoral he is God, and we are not. If Godchooses to do something no matter how we feel about it, then that is that. Putting ourselves in the postion of God makes us evil. I believe this is what satan was created to do. He must h ave been created so great and powerfull that his nature was to one day rebel against his creator. We humans fall under the same curse as Satan, when we rebel against our creator. We are created in the image of God and able to see ourselves as god's unto ourselves. This makes us unable from not commiting sin. Basically to be sin free is an impossibility. This seems unfair although God created it this way. I believe that God wants true sons those who will put themselves under the blood of Jesus inorder to be santified before him. God hiimself knowing that we are evil creatures born evil from the beginning. Hence alll things work together for good. It is the answer to freewill, to create what is free will be impossible to control unless submission comes voluntarily, after first eating of the tree of good and evil. This divine plan that is only taken in by faith in Christ.

Lucifer got too big for his britches and began to employ his free will to disobey his creator God.
Adolescence was probably the age he was at.
God said, like many parents have, obey the rules of the house or I will kick you out.
