I am new to this so I could be WAY off and please correct me!

I always thought that Lucifer was 'set up' by Heavenly Father, he knew how Lucifer would act, he also knew it was necessary for Eve and Adam to eat the fruit of the tree so they could 'be fruitful and multiply' but he wanted them to have their own free agency in the decision,  so I always thought of it as Heavenly Father outsmarting Lucifer and using him as a patsy so to speak, to get what needed to be done, done.

Please correct me where I am wrong here so I can learn.

Thank you

You may want to be extremely cautious here,  as such an opinion or belief is bordering or is actually apostasy. 

One never,  ever wants to risk their eternal salvation on such opinions,  beliefs,  or  teachings. 

Heavenly Father gave us all our free agency.
