If God created Satan (formally known as Lucifer, the fallen angel), shouldn't he be held reponsible for sin?

Answer 1

Lucifer will be judged for the sin committed, and for the other sins he has perpetrated on all of mankind.
However, he is not the one and only responsible for sin. Sin is a transgression of the known laws of God, as spelled out in the Holy Bible.
When we (mankind) who have free will choose to transgress against the teachings and decrees and precepts of God, in thought, word, and deed. We place ourselves in the position of being in sin. When we are unrepentant of our choices to sin, then we are placing our lives into Judgement by God.

It is God, who created the world and who has allowed mankind the free will to choose whether he will live according to God's ways, or rebel and live in sin. So ultimately all of us will be judged for our sins.

The depravity of mankind was brought about by temptation and action that Lucifer presented in the garden of Eden with Adam (man) and Eve. By Adam taking of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil by his free will, Adam placed the curse on all mankind (spiritually speaking) for the rest of man's history. The redemption was made available by the blood sacrifice of the God-man Christ Jesus. Man is still a free moral agent to choose his destiny, whether it is by sin unto death, or by forgiveness unto eternal life.

The choice is yours.

Answer 2

Lucifer is the embodiment of what can go wrong when BAD choices are consciously made and a when a wrong path is purposely taken. The key word is CHOICE, which is what God has given humans to be free and thinking individuals.

Would there be evil and sin amongst humans if we were NOT given the option to reason, to choose and to have free-thinking minds? Well No how could we possibly choose without even knowing what choice is? The reality is that we have been created to make our own decisions and sometimes we don't make them correctly. Would you blame your parents for the mistakes and bad decisions that you make in life? Only we can be responsible for our own actions - not the creator, he does not think for us. And remember that Lucifer was an angel created by God and in the beginning he was a GOOD angel. But then HE choose to become bad.

Answer 3

A really good question - why isn't God doing something about all the horrible things Satan does and inspires? And since God created it all, is He responsible? It's all such serious business with such serious consequences. I think the key thought is that He has made us free - a very risky decision on His part. We are responsible for our choices and the angels are too. The only way for it to be any different would be for God to have made us robots. If we look at Jesus' life and how good he was to those around him, we can know God really is good.

Answer 4

If Lucifer, or all people, had loose will, then no god will be all-understanding. An all understanding god will understand the full way ahead for the universe proper from its starting up. because the universe is thoroughly knowable, that's thoroughly predictable. with the aid of the undeniable fact that's thoroughly predictable, it may in reality ensue one way, with out possibilities. that signifies that there isn't any loose will, as all outcomes are determined proper from the starting up. So if Lucifer had loose will, then god can not be all-understanding. If god is all-understanding, then he knew Lucifer's moves in the previous they got here about, so Lucifer had no quite loose will to modify that. If god were all-powerful, then he ought to create uncertainty, hence randomness that ought to enable loose-will, yet then he ought to no longer be omniscient. although, the form of god ought to no longer stress an effect of a random adventure, thereby contradicting omnipotence. Omniscience and loose-will are contradictory. Omniscience and omnipotence are contradictory. Omnipotence is contradictory with itself.

Answer 5

Isn't that sort of like saying... if my body gives me a high fever and I die, shouldn't I be considered a suicide.

????

In the realm of what you're talking about, you're worrying about things that have already happened, already exist, and there's no taking it back. According to that book, no matter what happened, God sent his Son to pay for all sins -- so even if you do consider that God allowed sin in the world, or even if you say "he was the cause of sin" (better not say that in church!!!!), then he's already provided a solution, by giving his own Son. So does it really matter?

I don't think God brought sin into the world -- I think it just happened because of the kind of animals we are. We always think the grass is greener on the other side.

Answer 6

Satan is the one who brought sin into the world because God created Satan good and with FREE WILL.

But, Satan then freely and knowingly chose to reject God and become evil out of pride. This happens the same way for many humans who follow after Satan. But Satan was the first evil one.

Answer 7

God would be responsible if Lucifer was a robot. God gave Lucifer free will, the power to choose, life. He gives you and me the same power. He will not force anyone to follow Him or Love him. Forced love is rape. God will have no part with that.

Answer 8

No-because God gave everyone free will-even the angels. Satan, is a fallen angel.

Answer 9

With that line of reasoning, every time a car accident occurs, the car manufacturer should be held responsible for it. God granted ALL of his creations free will...it was not his responsibility that Satan chose to misuse his, any more than the car manufacturer is responsible that a driver chose to speed or run a redlight or drive while intoxicated.

Answer 10

No because it is our and Lucifer's freedom that allows us to turn away from God, not the way God had originally created us.
