How can anyone honestly believe that God did not create satan, evil, ect..It was his plan from the beginning. I worship God and love him very much it just makes him sound like he is so much less powerful when people use this Plan a plan b plan c theory.. Like God is incapable of forethought..come on wake up.

of Course God knew we would sin and of course it was part of his plan from the begining to think otherwise is to make God look silly.

As humans, we try to find a way to answer everything in order to understand it.
It's hard to believe God creates Satan, because that would mean God is cablable of creating evil, and thus could be evil.
It's hard to believe that evil exists in the world, because people want to be able to blame someone for when things go wrong, instead of accepting that either they had a hand in it, or that you can't control the world, and that some things just happen.

God knew that we would need free will to truly choose him. And when Eve ate the apple, the world was open to sin if it chose to. God did create Satan. Satan was a fallin angel. He chose to go against God. But the thing is neither Satan or God can make us do evil. We CHOOSE to sin. Satan only tempts us to get us to stray from God. I hope this answer helps.
Peace in Christ

I know what you mean. There are those who say only Christians who believe the way they do are Saved. Or those who would limit God to 'what's in the Bible.'
I don't know why some people are so narrow-minded. God would that all be Saved. He uses ordinary and extraordinary means of Salvation.
Of course there will always be those who believe you have to belong to their clique to be worthy of Salvation. They are standing in the place of God judging, when God alone judges.

God did not create evil -- Evil is the choice to leave God

One day someone will succeed in putting god in that box. When it happens, I'll be right there with the padlock and the concrete.
