The church (the translators of the bible) created Satin and the Devil for control.

No. God created his bad children to punish Satan.

I don't know to much about religion just what I know But I love to hear about the stories and all that but what I heard is that Satan is a fallen angel that satan tried to rule the heavens and was banished and took some "outlaws" with him/her. And that whoever is "bad" they are banished to hell Of course people can break it down more but that is a easy way to look at it so not just bad children but bad people But then there could be even children heaven animal heaven and so on ...

God created satan as an angel,but satan decided he wanted to be God,just like us satan has a free will and chose to sin against God, he was never meant to punish us

No, the biblical account of Satan is misleading. Think of the Satan as the headmaster of a school (earth and the lower worlds), and he has strict instructions to ensure that no pupil graduates unless that pupil has mastered the subject called divine love. And for teachers, the school uses life experiences.

Satan wasn't bad when God created him.

Satan was created before humans. Chronologically it would be impossible.
P.S. We punish ourselves. We destroy the planet, make war etc and then whine that God is punishing us. Sigh...

No, the Church created Satan to scare it's followers into doing good. They had tried guiding, that didn't work, so they moved on to scare tactics. Unfortunately, that doesn't work either.

God created Satan, but his former name was Lucifer. Lucifer was the top angel, guardian to God's throne and praise leader in Heaven. The problem began when Lucifer, filled with pride, decided in himself that instead of giving the praise to God, he would take it for himself, along with removing God from the throne of Heaven. He convinced one-third of the angels of Heaven to side along with him. The archangel Michael and his angelic army fought against Lucifer and his followers, defeating them in battle. As a result of Lucifer's infraction, God cast him out of Heaven and down to Earth. All of this occurred before man was created. Satan convinced man to disobey God. All those who decide to follow after Satan will also share his fate: eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire (Gehenna) on Judgment Day.

NO! Satan (Lucifer) was an angel at one time that thought he could outdo God, so God cast him out of Heaven into hell, and that is how he came to be...(Satan) brought it on himself so to speak
