If God created the Devil and the Devil is bad....does that mean that God made a mistake or that God advocates Evil. God created angels and they are 'good' but why when God created the Devil he is considered 'evil'?

Well, he does contradict himself in the bible many times, so yes.

No...God DID NOT create the Devil. I have answered this same question in the past 7 years probably 500 times. People need to do some study of their own before they act COMPLETELY ungrateful and say insulting things about a loving God who gave everything to them at great expense.
The devil was created perfect. The MOST beautiful of all the angels. His body and spirit was designed in such a way as it was made from jewels and had pipes that could make beautiful music. He was perfect. Made perfect, but he corrupted HIMSELF. If I make a painting and someone else comes around and musses it up...is it my fault for giving the "musser" the free will to corrupt my painting? If I withhold judgement of the musser...does that mean I am not just? Am I the painter? I can do what I want as far as judgement is concerned if I an the INVENTOR of justice. Human's pathetic understanding of real justice cannot be compared to God's unless you want to drag God out of heaven, if it were possible...and apply fallible human understanding to a perfect God. God created Lucifer...Lucifer corrupted HIMSELF and is now satan or the devil.

When God created Lucifer he was a covering cherub and he guarded the mercy seat. He was one of Gods most cherished of angels. But he grew vain and jealous of God and wanted to become Him. He came to think of himself as better than God. He and all the other angels were given the right of free will just as we are now and he chose to turn against God and in doing so took 1/3 of the angels with him. He wasn't created evil, but he became evil through his own heart and choices he made. It broke Gods heart. Read Ezekiel 28. It tells all about when Satan turned from God. The entire book of Ezekiel covers more prophesy than even Revelation. Just make sure it's a KJV bible and a strongs concordance would help too. It takes things back into the original greek and hebrew so you get a better understanding.

The Devil was created good. He was in a place of worship in Heaven. But the Devil decided that He would be as God. But God is using His plan of salvation to defeat the Devil once and for all.

The devil was created good until his pride took over.
He made himself evil.
In my opinion GOD is NEVER wrong

God did not create the devil....He created Lucifer who was perfect in all his ways.Eze. 28:13-18 God does not force anyone to serve Him but gives everyone the choice. Lucifer chose not to serve God but wanted to be equal with God. He tried to get all the angels to join him in his rebellion. There was a war in heaven and Lucifer and 1/3 of the angels were cast out of heaven. Lucifer became the devil then....but it was his choice. If God forced people to serve Him (which He could do) it would not be from love but from fear. God does not make mistakes. He sees the end from the beginning and made a plan for sin which which was to give His only Son, Jesus to die for us to redeem us.

Never. God did not create the Devil. The Devil created himself.

God did not create the devil. Lucifer (devil) was an angel that chose not to follow God. God gives angels free will, just like he gives us freewill. We have two choices, follow God or follow the devil satan. After that all choices we make are based on which we first chose, God or satan.

God never created the devil. Lucifer is a fallen archangel who believed in the Luciferian principle which was not to secour people and to guide them out of trouble with God's laws. Then God abandoned Lucifer and he became a damned being for all eternity. There was never a question of a mistake, but simply that Lucifer had his own free will and he just misused it.

as Line dance said God didn't create the Evil, Evil is just a force, Satan, and bad man and negatives energies, those are the sources that have created Evil of course with the help and assistance of Satan, and beast and other demons, which where to opposed God becoming and creating a human race, with positive Energies for positive energies of peoples. In the essences Satan created his own sorry self, because he begun to force others not to follow God, and he will create bondage's that he will try to imposed in the spiritual entities, and because he will continue trying to posses the spirits and the spiritual entities, God will punish him, to never see the true he was to pursue in the darkness of his own ignorance and stupidity.

Yes, God created Lucifer (satan, devil), but he started out being the ANGEL OF LIGHT!
Then he decided he wanted more power, he turned against God; so he was thrown out of heaven!!!
