"Satan" got a bad rap. Judaism makes it very clear that Satan is AN ANGEL OF GOD who has NO WILL OF HIS OWN, whose purpose is to STRENGTHEN THE SPIRIT of man through CHALLENGES.

God didn't create Satan in the way you refer to. He created an angel that became Satan when he rebelled against God. That is what the name Satan means.

It is my personal belief that god created Satan and the fall of man to set a precedent. Satan was given the opportunity to turn from God and to mislead mankind but Satans reign will not last. At judgement, Satan will reap his reward and all of creation will recognize the ABSOLUTE authority of God over all of his creation. After all.. we reference the Kingdom of God. It is not God who all knowing needed to know this... it is all of his creation!

Because God has a good reason for allowing evil to exist.
Why would you assume that God didn't realize that Lucifer would eventually become evil?
