The Bible says God created all things, so everyhting, including evil, you, me, the earth, the entire universe, satan, everything must be an expression of god.. Right?

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7)
and well ... Jesus, the Lamb, apparently can get pretty scary lookiing.
"And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." (Revelation 5:6)
then there's the Lucifer debate.
"I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning
star." (Revelation 22:16)
Isa 14:12 " How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"
St. Jerome, translated the Hebrew "morning star" into the Latin term "Lucifer" (light bearer), a name commonly ascribed to Satan by Christians, and represents the fallen star, an ancient symbol for the fallen or evil one.
and here David is commanded to number Israel.
"AND Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel." (I Chronicles 21:1)
"AND again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah." (II Samuel 24:1)
and this is kinda evil.
And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it." (Deuteronomy 28:63)
**shrug**
and oh yeah, forgot this one. The Lord sends evil spirits.
"And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand." (I Samuel 19:9)
i guess i could go with this all day. ***shrugs** again

God and the devil are diabolically opposed in terms of character, goals, and in every other way possible. Jesus is about love, life, peace, joy, and salvation. The devil is about hate, death, torment, agony, and destruction.
Jesus is the Word of God (see John 1:1-14 & Revelation 19:13). In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God - John 1:1. It doesn't state He was a created being but, rather, that He was in the beginning with God - John 1:2.
Lucifer was known as the anointed cherub that covers until iniquity was found in him - see Ezekiel 28:12-16. In verse 13 it specifically states he was a created being.
Lucifer was an expression of God until he turned on God and sought to betray and overthrow Him - see Isaiah 14:12-15. That wasn't the purpose God gave him when He created him. Lucifer came up with that one all on his own. And his day of reckoning is getting closer.

No, of course not! Lucifer is a spiritual child of God the Father, but was cast out from heaven because of his usurpation and rebellion. Jesus Christ, the very Firstborn, is our Lord, our Savior, and Redeemer of all mankind and is the mediator to the Father in heaven.
Although God is the great Creator, there's a huge difference between Jesus and Lucifer.

Nope. No indication they are in the Bible. A 14th Century mistranslation suitable Lucifer and devil, wrongly. The Anti-Christ tale does no longer element out devil. Nor does Genesis. some translations do, yet they are present day. No data they seem to be a similar yet oral custom.

Satan was an angel, Gods most beautiful angel. Satan decided to betray God, and therefore became who he is today. Same thing like us humans on earth...we are created perfect and beautiful in Gods eyes, but we sin everyday. Even the angels have free will.

Yes! Spirits who hate God are spirits nonetheless. God sustains them. His sun rains on the just and the unjust as well.
"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).

There are two forces in this world .the force of the prince of the power of the air,And force of the spirit of god.there must be an up and down negative and positive, yen and yang, for there to be balance, if there where just god, it would upset the balance of the universe, and things would fall apart. we have a free will. we choose which power we wish to except into us, are we do not choose and the power of this world will choose for us.There is God. The spirit of God and a soul in each of us. separate, but connected by the spirit of god, the devils power is separate from all of of gods power and spirit,.

Excellent question. The answer is God created all things but not all things that exist. For example I could give you a block of wood and you decide to carve it up and bend it a bit. Here's the question; Did I create your bent up carved up piece of wood? No, you did. Its your twisted cut up version of wood I gave you. God gave us all good things, Satan bends it and twists beyond its original good design.

no, Jesus is the son of God. Lucifer was an angel that decided he was equal with God and therefore was banished from Heaven.
