Why does satan even exist if God is perfect? Why would he even have to test us if he is the one who made us?

just because HE is perfect does not mean for any reason that we should not be flawed. He doesn't test you either, that is just what other people want you to think so that you will try to stay on a good path. Don't get so overworked out about it. Think about it, if everything was perfect...would you really enjoy it? or perhaps this will better explain it. If it is cold outside and your cold..you dont like it do you? But when it's hot outside and a cold breeze comes by, if feels good doesn't it? Does that help explain it? Oh and satan exist because someone has to live down there and handle the dead. He doesn't just handle bad people, but he also takes care of our dead bodies when we leave them after we die so... thats why he exist. God didn't create satan, satan was already here when God got here.

Good question...
...the honest answer is that I really don't know. I don't try to assume why we're here, or why God does what he does. But I believe that no matter what the reasons are, we're here 'til the end. I say we exist for one another. We cure the lonliness, we cure the suffering with laughter, we cure the hunger with food. Problem is people have a hard time getting out of their own way to see all the good we can do for one another.
I dunno any of the answers, only God does. He's got the map, but we're on the journey. Where you go, and how you get there is up to you.

We must understand that God the Father, and God the Son, are no longer present here on earth as they were in biblical times. At some point in the prehistoric past, Lucifer (Satan) rebelled against God, and also converted one third of the "angels" to rebel with him. The rebellious Satan, and his angels of darkness were confined to earth, or earth's interior. God allows people to be tried and tested because He wants us to chose to love and serve Him out of a free will.

You people disgust me. You go around "Take god out of the pledge" "Take prayer out of school" "A christmas tree would be offensive to other religions lets make it a holiday tree (if your not a christian and celabrating on a christian holiday with a christmas tree suck it up and call it a christmas tree you dont see me calling a manora a speciall holiday lighting device!)" And then when something like Katrina hits and you look around and wail "wheres god" "does he exist"? You asked for him to leave so deal with it!
Ok just had to get that out of my system evil is nothing more then the lack of god. And what imperfection? He created the world we tore it to pieces!

because of sin. Satan at one time was an angel. he got an ego and thought that he could be god. so God threw out of heaven Satan and all of Satan's followers aka daemons.
god gave us our own free will. he's not controlling us like puppets. it's our choice to come to him and accept his free gift. Listen, this could go on for a while, so if u want to know more just contact me, and we can discuss this.
God Bless!!!!

"It has been believed heretofore in the world that there is one devil that presides over the hells; that he was created an angel of light; but having become rebellious he was cast down with his crew into hell. This belief has prevailed because the devil and satan, and also lucifer, are mentioned by name in the Word, and the Word in those places has been understood according to the sense of the letter. But by "devil" and "satan" there hell is meant, "devil" meaning the hell that is behind, where the worst dwell, who are called evil genii; and "satan" the hell that is in front, where the less wicked dwell, who are called evil spirits; and "lucifer" those that belong to Babel, or Babylon, who would extend their dominion even into heaven. That there is no one devil to whom the hells are subject is evident also from this, that all who are in the hells, like all who are in the heavens, are from the human race (see n. 311-317); and that those who have gone there from the beginning of creation to this time amount to myriads of myriads, and every one of them is a devil in accord with his opposition to the Divine while he lived in the world" (Heaven and Hell n. 544).

Because Adam the first man sinned against God and passed sin and imperfection to all his offspring.

God gave us the gift of life, how we choose to use our lives is up to us. Unfortunately, many people take the wrong path in life. That is why our world is in the turmoil it is in. Don't blame God.
