NO NO NO NO! Who is this Lucifer? The expression “shining one,” or “Lucifer,” is found in what Isaiah prophetically commanded the Israelites to pronounce as a “proverbial saying against the king of Babylon.” Thus, it is part of a saying primarily directed at the Babylonian dynasty. That the description “shining one” is given to a man and not to a spirit creature is further seen by the statement: “Down to Sheol you will be brought.” Sheol is the common grave of mankind—not a place occupied by Satan the Devil. Moreover, those seeing Lucifer brought into this condition ask: “Is this the man that was agitating the earth?” Clearly, “Lucifer” refers to a human, not to a spirit creature.—Isaiah 14:4, 15, 16. . The Scriptures indicate that the creature known as Satan did not always have that name. Rather, this descriptive name was given to him because of his taking a course of opposition and resistance to God. The name he had before this is not given. God is the only Creator, and ‘his activity is perfect,’ with no injustice or unrighteousness. (De 32:4) Therefore, the one becoming Satan was, when created, a perfect, righteous creature of God. He is a spirit person, for he appeared in heaven in the presence of God. (Job chaps 1, 2; Re 12:9) Jesus Christ said of him: “That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him.” (Joh 8:44; 1Jo 3:8) Jesus here shows that Satan was once in the truth, but forsook it. Beginning with his first overt act in turning Adam and Eve away from God, he was a manslayer, for he thereby brought about the death of Adam and Eve, which, in turn, brought sin and death to their offspring. (Ro 5:12) Throughout the Scriptures the qualities and actions attributed to him could be attributed only to a person, not to an abstract principle of evil. It is clear that the Jews, and Jesus and his disciples, knew that Satan existed as a person. Hebrews 2:14b that through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil; The angels were created with free will as well as people. God knew that there was a good chance of angels turning bad as well as the 2 humans. God never made robots. It's just when Adam sinned God had to use an alternate route to accomplish his will. It never changed. So he is setting up a Kingdom that will fill the earth with perfect people serving him. He will grant them everlasting life in paradise earth. Dan 2:44

Angels have free will like man does. He knew Lucifer would fall and go against him but to change that would remove the free will from all. As all must have it or none.
Remember Lucifer use to be close by the Lords side till he fell from the heavens. That is why he is so strong, he knows the Lord's ways.

God has complete control over Lucifer. Lucifer does nothing without God's approval. Lucifer's "job" is to tempt mankind. He's doing a very good job and God is pleased with his performance. Otherwise, Lucifer would be replaced with another soul to perform this particular job.

Job 38:4-7 All the angel were there to see earth prepared for habitation, Rev.5:11; they are vast in number and do not die Luke 20:34-36; They are called morning stars and sons of God Job 2:1,2 Satan was with the sons of God Eze.28:13-15 The cherub angel anointed over Eden called serpent Gen.3:1-5 decieved Eve, Isa.14:12-14 called Lucifer means day star and compares him to the world leaders Gen.6:2,4 angels did sin Jude 6; 1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4 and are judged by saints 1Cor.6:2,3; Satan is cause of the death of every offspring of Adam John 8:44; Satan is the god of this world 2Cor.4:3,4; He transforms himself into an angel of light 11:14; He seek to devour.
God did not know who would or who would not love him and do right of angels or of man.

No Satan made himself Satan and devil by his actions of rebellion against God and got other angels and Adam and Eve to join him by lying to Adam and Eve, Satan was created perfect just like all the other spirits or angels when God created them, none were created as Satan's oer devils.Satan's rebellion was not part of God's plan it was Satan's plan because he wanted the worship that belongs to Jehovah God so instead of putting this wrong desire out of his head, he kept thinking about it until he put it into action thereby making himself Satan the devil and he is still now misleading the inhabited earth, with lies and deceit he is making himself god and receiving the worship that he craves, he even tried that number on Jesus when Jesus was here by promising to give Jesus all the kingdoms of the earth for just one act of worship, could Satan have offered Jesus all these world governments if they were not his to offer?No Jesus would have denied that these were not his to offer!And this would not have then been a real temptation to Jesus. The Bible also plainly says:" The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."(2Corinthians 4:4)

No, God made Lucifer and all the other fallen angels to worship Him without any free will. Somewhere along the line God gave them a free will and Lucifer wanted to be "God." As a result of this, he was sent to hell with his followers.

Our limited human intellects cannot comprehend infinite concepts such as omniscience and omnipotence well enough to understand how God used his. We can understand that omniscience and omnipotence exists but we are too limited to understand how it works or how it can exist, we only can accept it.
It's no different from the concept of "infinity", i.e. infinite smallness or infinite bigness. Science and math both acknowledge "infinity" but cannot fully explain it.
There are many things we will not be able to understand about God as he is beyond the scope of our full comprehension.

He made Lucifer/Satan (and the other angels)with free will like He did us... which means He does not make us choose right from wrong, He lets us do that ourselves .

he knew that he had the potential for it, As god has given us all potentail, note that he also stants outside of time, thus he knows of all the consiquences of outr decisions, but does not choose them for us.
for example if there is a red pill and blue pill, and we took the red, God would also know what would have happened to us had we take nte blue, however we, of our own free will choose red.
likewise, Lucifer had the potential for being good, but shoose darkness, of his own free will.
