But it was already in god's plan for Satan to fall, so he was doomed from the get go.
No it was not, Lucifer chose to disobey God and the result was his damnation.

Angels have powers God has given them Lucifer was the most powerful of angels but his powers are now restricted because of who he became.

I love this commandment! What does it tell us?
Theists, If it's from God, then logically it tells me that God knew there are other gods around competing for your worship.
And that he urges you profusely to worship him in particular (or else you'll burn! mofo. Geez, you're a great salesman God! Go Yahwey!)
Theists, Do you acknowledge this at least? If not, why not.
We atheists feel it's infinitely more probable that this was written by men. Men who knew that different cultures supported or favoured different Gods (religions).
Men who had a vested interest in swaying the masses towards a particular theology. Why else would this threat need to be written if it wasn't about control?
Looking forward to some enlightenment from theists...
God was speaking about all the man made idols, those of wood and stone, like wise money and fame. Anything that's put first in one's life over God is an idol.
GC That;s an interesting and completely non-biblical mythology you've got there, for a pagan god.

Wrong it's totally biblical. since you made the claim I do not know the scriptures you need to prove I'm wrong on this point and none of this tripe about it's up to me, you're the one who made the claim I'm wrong.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

If Mr God can restrict Lucifer's powers, then why not completely remove them if he's still causing mischief? Sounds like Lucifer is useful to Mr God and it's all part of his plan. In which case, why punish him at all? Why not just say to one of his angel, hey Lucy, I need someone to be evil and to tempt the humans so I can punish some of them for eternity?

Lucy: Why are you such a cunt?
God: Because I can ...and I can without consequences.

Well, actually the KJV wasn't commissioned until 1604 and published in 1611 =
"Version Information
In 1604, King James I of England authorized that a new translation of the Bible into English be started. It was finished in 1611, just 85 years after the first translation of the New Testament into English appeared (Tyndale, 1526). The Authorized Version, or King James Version, quickly became the standard for English-speaking Protestants. Its flowing language and prose rhythm has had a profound influence on the literature of the past 400 years. The King James Version present on the Bible Gateway matches the 1987 printing. The KJV is public domain in the United States."

BTW, it included the Apocrypha.

Yeah it's like someone in the corporate world destroying the environment for profit because it's their job. Or someone turning on the taps at the gas chambers. Life becomes a lot easier if you're just following orders and don't have to worry about the consequences of your actions. I think Lucy landed the prime job!
