Or Satan and Sin are independent and come into being by themselves--
making them like God himself?

God created Lucifer, a majestic archangel, but he rebelled against God, thus sin came into being.

God created Satan as an angel in Heaven. Satan became so enamored of himself that he sought to compete with God, so yes God created Satan.
Sin is the description of the acts that those of us do when we go against God's teachings. God gave us free will. We described the path away from God as the word "sin".

Satan was an angel first who went against God.
We as Christians have certain boundaries to line in.
Sins are just actions which we do against the will of God.
For eg. A crime is an action which done against the law.
Sin and God cannot be in the same place cause God hates sin.
Satan is the one who makes us to do things thing against God just as he did .That is Sin.
However people Theres nothing to worry about cause
God hates sin but loves the sinner

We, all things, are part of God and God is in all of us.
God has positive and negative aspects. The positive aspect of God is what we called Godly. The negative aspect is what we called un-Godly, or Satanic. There really is no supernatural being called Satan. Satan is a state of being.
The best illustration is what is depicted in cartoon. We often see when some cartoon character tries to do something evil, two little beings pop out from him on his sides. One devilish and the other saintly. Each tries to convince the character to do what he wants. If the saintly being wins, the character would do good (god with an extra "o", therefore godly). If the devilish being wins, then the character would sin (un-godly).
I hope this is as clear as mud. LOL

From what I have learned Satan was an angel that fell off. He/she thought that he/she could do God's job better plus he/she was jealous of the human race so he/she got cast out of the pearly gates and sent to the burning fire below. Where he/she and God started this bull of a competition as to who could win the most souls before the end of the world so to me it's like they are playing chess and we are the pieces. Who do you think is winning? Also there could be no good without bad it just all evens out God created Satan. So he could have a nemesis

The concept of God, to me, is interpreted as meaning that God created everything - that he is the Creator. He therefore created Satan, if there is a Satan. Satan is evil. Therefore God created something that's evil.
The creation of something that is evil is generally regarded as being an evil act in itself. From this I conclude that God is evil. Since God is the Ultimate Being, he is the Ultimate Being of Evil - hence God is Satan.
Of course this entire argument puts into serious doubt the entire idea of the existence of sin, evil, Satan, and God.

God didnt create Satan...he was an angel before he became Satan. He just wanted Gods ability to perform miracles ,so thats when he told Eve that she wouldnt die by eating the fruit. So....it was the angels choice to sin and then thats when he became Satan.....we inherit sin from adam. sin has always been in them...but it was their choice to make the decision to sin or not. If God didnt give us the ability to make our own choices between right or wrong ...we'd be like robots.

God created Satan, (see the book of Daniel)
Satan chose to disobey God (sin)
We chose to disobey God (sin)
So God created everthing, except sin which is just another word for disobedience or disrespect.
Clear as mud right, good luck and God bless

Satan is a fallen angel. Many believe because of His description in Ezekiel (he was an angel who had a great voice- paraphrased) that he was in charge of worship and that he grew jealous of the praise God received. He made a decision to rebel against God and also took 1/3 of the angels with him (demons).
God did not create Sin. Man sin when he willfully chose to disobey God.
Hope that helps,
