Do you mean the Jewish Satan or the Christian one?
From what I understand, Satan in Judaism is the angelic version of a prosecuting attorney. He's not evil, not fallen, just filling the role God gave him.
If you're talking about the Christian Satan, then he's responsible for everything from genocide to nocturnal emissions. He's the boogey man you can blame all your problems on.
Now, if you're talking about Lucifer... well, that's just another name for the planet Venus that was hijacked by Christians long after the NT was written.

He has done nothing,God is the supposed source of all power, therefore he would be the source of all evil in the world. So if the world is full of evil it is Gods fault,not Satans.

It seems that Satan does not actually do anything evil himself -- he is too sneaky to do that. Rather, he tries to talk other creatures into doing evil so that he can turn around and blame them before God (Revelations 12:10)

i assume it relies upon on your deifintion of "undesirable." Technically talking there is not any longer something particular. no longer even interior the Bible. you will no longer locate any direct references or thoughts approximately devil perfomring evil deeds. (alongside with genocide, or floods or...ummm properly not at all suggestions) The term devil comes from the notice "adversary". devil adversarial God, and hence became seen the "undesirable" to God's "good". From a theological attitude: many human beings evaluate devil's act interior the backyard of Eden (tempting Eve with the apple) to be an act of evil, using fact it ended in unique Sin, and expulsion from the backyard, yet each and every physique who certainly places inventory interior the story ought to additionally be clever adequate to maintain on with by to the top that it became a needed act. in case you have self assurance the story of Genesis then do you no longer understand that none persons could be here without Adam and Eve being solid out of the backyard??? it extremely is why no person listens to christians anymore..too many contradictions.... As adversary and opposition to God, who maximum evaluate good; the devil is going to be undesirable. it extremely is the organic stability. yet devil did no longer get a e book, with the intention to not at all be attentive to..we can purely decide via what one component tells us... properly anyhow that's merely MOHO....i in my opinion don't think something in prepared faith is objective...

By tempting and seducing Adam and EVE sin was brought into the world
John 10:10
The thief (Satan) comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [a]overflows).

well, the main and first thing that he did was to challenge and question the right of god to be ruler of this earth. he did this by lying to adam and eve, saying that god wasnt good enough for them. and they chose to obey satan

The Satan does only according to God's plan...ie Satan tests us and when we fail, stands as our accuser and when we pass stands as our advocate before God. Satan can do no evil as it does not have free will.
