There are some who believe God and Satan are yin and Yang but they are not! Satan was created by God. The creation is never as powerful or equal to it's creator. Lastly, God will destroy the Devil and sin.Are there those who believe the balance of power with God and Satan or am I mistaken?

God could have created Satan because the world needs the yin and yang. (And every thing in between) I mean, how would we know what's good if we don't know what is evil? Besides, if God knows everything, than he would he have known that one of his angels (not to mention his favorite) would turn against him and stand for everything that is opposite that God stands for? I think God would probably have done this on purpose. In a odd way, I think they work together more than work against each other. But then again, you probably just say I'm going to hell for thinking this.

I agree, this is a common mistake. And you are right...this is a melding of Christian theology and Eastern mysticism (ying/yang).
What is evil? A Christian would call evil REBELLION against the highest power (good). To rebel against the highest authority is not a matter of balance, but a matter of pleasing a king. Therefore, Satan's being thrown into the lake of fire (eternal destruction) does not create imbalance. On the contrary, it resores uninterrupted order! (P.S. - this does not do away with creativity. Creativity does not nessesarily equal rebellion).

Why do some people believe there are only 144,000 spots in heaven and that they are all filled. Yet they still try and get you to join their religion (Jehovah's Witness). Some people just believe weird things. All I have to say is where in the Bible does it say God and Satan are equal? It doesn't. all of revelation talks about God allowing Satan to do things. Satan would have no power if God did not grant it. Why does God grant that power? IDK. It's not our jobs to question because we can't understand.

Created is the weaker one as you said. Why some believe the lies, same reason they believe in eternal life in Hell when there is no such thing anywhere in the bible. THe one that teaches and taught that , the only one, is Satan. Now he has the preachers in the churches teaching it as truth when it is really a lie. Anyone that can give me just one text that says you have eternal life in Hell without Jesus will get $10,000 cash, guaranteed.

The oldest semitic religion known to mankind was Iranian: it had two gods: one of light and one of darkness. It is believed that the god of light eventually evolved in the God of the Bible, and the god of darkness evolved into Satan. Early on in the Bible you will find mention of God existing of a light and a dark side: there is no mentioning of satan anywhere.

The only one who would like to believe that is Satan himself. His time is running out though for as Revelation12:12 tells us: "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

first let's tell things as they really are....
Satan is actually Lucifer - an angel of heaven who was given Earth in those days demons and angels lived in heaven...he is also known to be the god of this world..so when you pray to god..technically your praying to him.. not a lot of people understand that..or wish to think about the implications..
God -- a title, not his real name... actually his name is Jehovha or Iehovha in ancient hebrew...
Lucifer was a very powerful angel, a cherub same as the arch-angel Micheal whom will cast Lucifer and those not wanting to choose to live in the Kindom of Jehovha will be cast into the lake of fire...well that's some speculation..more like returned to the nothing..but in the end Lucifer will not prevail...Jehovha created Lucifer..and can kick his ***
their is not a balance of power-- Lucifer was given earth to test, decieve, and try to turn man litterally from the word and name of God..this is also called the eighth kindom...the kindom of Lucifer...this is his job...

People seem to have a fascination with silly beliefs of all types.
Perhaps, since no one can prove or disprove a belief, any belief, people tend to believe most anything and think they are doing something profound.
They are not doing anything profound.
All beliefs are silly nonsense.

Yes, God created Lucifer, and God is a lot more stronger.
