According to religious mythology, did God make Satan the way he is? If not, how did he end up that way?

Answer 1

God did make Satan the way he is. God is responsible for Satan.

Answer 2

Ha ha ha….So God blesses those who bless themselves. Don’t you find it funny that all the book of god no matter of any religion, it always mention about thing of the past like Camel, Tent, Palm and more other ancient stuff. If God is so a mighty and the creator of all things don’t you think he would have mention the Internet or the 3G mobile or all the technology and Car or Plane instead of Camel and donkey. You are even permit to have incest because it was mention many times in the so called book of god. I wonder is the god or man who is writing the entire book. Satan is created by god who was created by some man like in the movie and books. I wonder what happen 2000 years from now after a nuclear disaster some man who found some book of Star War or Lord of the Ring might look at it as their Holy Book.

Answer 3

The Bible is God's guidebook to man. It has 66 books (39 Old Testament -- "part one" books and 27 New Testament -- "part two" books) which are a roadmap of sorts, for life. Nor is it a myth. I suppose you can say that about many things that you have no knowledge of. Lucifer was the Anointed Cherub. Anointed means to be set apart for Gods Divine purpose. It also means "bestowal of Gods divine favor", and "appointment to a special place or function."
God had given Satan a certain amount of power and authority. But he perverted that power. Lucifer wanted to exalt himself above God... rather than "just" being the Angel of God. Lucifer was created perfect in all his ways, but iniquity was found in him. It was not put there by God. Lucifer created it.
( this is found in Ezekiel 28:15 )
Like man, the angels were created perfect, and with a free will.
Satan was lifted up because of his beauty, he corrupted the wisdom by reason of his brightness (This is in Ezekiel 28:17)

Answer 4

I see you like to stir the waters to see who will try to express what they think they know in a way that proves that they really can not see how little they really do know. Thus I did rate your question as good with that star. Hope your question does make some think a little.

I see many see Satan as an angel, I do not in my opinion in the way they expressed the term angel. Now if one sees the word angel strictly as a messenger, then of course all that does exist is an angel in my view for all that does exist can be learned from. Likewise in my view all that does exist can serve as a guide to finding the constantly consistent truth that does exist.

I do not know anything about what you call "religious mythology" ha ha but your profile seems to give me an idea of that term in your view.

Now in answer to your question" In My Opinion only". THe one you call Satan was origionally O Day Star, Son of Dawn created by My God to fulfill a purpose in the perfect plan. He was destined to rule the world and the kingdom of darkness. This O Day Star, Son of Dawn was and is a created man, who went through the formed and made process just like any other man. In this process he made a choice which was to reject the authority of My God, which was of course known in advance by my God that he would. In this rejection process the names of O Day Star, Son of Dawn were changed to the serpent, Satan, the Devil, and the dragon.

In all this I guess it is your option to decide whether My God made Satan as he is for My God knew what he would choose and did not prevent it from happening because such was his plan. I choose to see it as My God made Satan origionally a beautiful creation full of knowledge and he chose by free will to reject the provisions of My God and instead elected to set himself on high like My God. In my view. Satan chose to be as he is by making a decision.

Thats my view and you need not see it my way. I can accept that. Each is entitled to his own view, and I do respect your view for you.

Do have a great day and keep asking those good questions that should make people to think.

Answer 5

Those who want to give an intelligent reply will say, God gave Satan freewill. So the latter chose to become what he ended up to be.

But the problem arises when we ask this question, if God is all-knower (knows everything), didn't he know Satan would turn out evil?

Answer 6

God made satan a angle, satan got full of pride and jealousy that was his down fall, he like everyone else has a free will, it's what we do with what we are gave that makes the difference.

Answer 7

God created all things, including Satan, with the freedom to choose for ourselves. God presented a plan for us to come to Earth, get bodies and be tested to choose good or not. Jesus offered to be the Saviour, to Atone for our sins. Satan(Lucifer) had his own ideas that he would force all mankind to be obedient (taking away our freedom). Because he would not budge from his position he and those that followed him (1/3 of heavenly hosts) were cast out of heaven.

Answer 8

Christians say that god gave us the gift of free will; that without the presence of evil, we wouldn't be able to choose to follow god. That being said, lets look at some of the basics of the story:

-god has a plan for everything.
-part of god's plan included the creation of angels and humans.
-since god's plan is infallible, he knew from the time that he started to create that he wanted humans to have free will.
-we are unable to have free will without the presence of evil.

Therefore, god's plan had to involve the presence of a negative force, something that represented the opposite of everything that he stood for. Only then, would his creations truly have free will. That being said, it only makes sense that god knew that lucifer would rebel when he was created. It had to have been part of his divine plan. So, is it really fair to condemn someone to hell for just playing the part that they were intended to play?

I guess that's called "Sympathy For The Devil". *LOL*

Answer 9

No,Lucifer was a perfect angel when God created him.He became evil later and was called Satan.

Answer 10

No, first he was an angel but when he saw God made the earth he was so dazzled evil ideas popped in his head, then God sent him out of heaven and then he tried all things to get revenge, he knew god's power but still tried to confront him, so he became known as the devil.
