For God to create any life with sin is actually a sin unto him for creating imperfection. If God is all knowing and caring why did he create Satan knowing that he would revolt?

I am telling you this whole original sin crap is to keep the noose of FEAR firmly tied around the necks of Christian groups. Original sin is merely a marketing ploy for conformity and increasing church attendance. Has been for years and years and will continue to be.
Also I think the perception of God creates the attributions people and groups make about God. Such as "if God is all knowing and caring why did he create Satan knowing he would revolt?"
I believe in an Intelligence, and perhaps we can all relate to the word "spirited" but I do not believe in the classifications of perfection and imperfection. I do not attribute them to God, Trixie, or Harry, or however you describe God or this spirit. I do not believe in Satan as anything more the mythical conception of the things people struggle with everyday and attribute to Satan such as: anger, greed, sloth, addictions to people and things, jealousy, etc. I mean whenever a Christian acts in a behavior that is deemed, "not pleasing to God" they blame Satan, and the fact that they were born with original sin, rather than take responsibility for the behavior. I guess the behavior seems more in alignment with an ego aspect of themselves they would rather not look at, so why not blame Satan, or God..or whatever.

Where does it say that Noah was forgiven of his sin?? And if he was forgiven that doesnt mean it was passed on to his offspring and those on the ark with him. Its just like when someone is baptized that persons original sin is washed away but not anyone else's. Your thinking of God as someone on a throne with some kind of body or form like you and me.thats not the case, God is spirit and only in spirit can we worship Him. Satan had a choice to revolt just like me and you have a choice and he chose his own path to follow,a path of jealousy and hate. A hate for you and me and every other human that has ever lived. If you only knew how much satans hates you! And all because God created us and loved us .Satan sinned, God didnt sin or make satan sin ,for God is incapable of sin.

Because when He created Satan there was an equally likely possibility that He wouldn't revolt. And we don't know what is at the end of the road but we must have faith that it will be spectacular enough that this was the only way to get there.

Noah was still a son of Adam & Eve. He still inherited their problems.
Just because we CAN, doesn't mean we DO. God does not constantly invade privacy. We are free moral agents; so was Satan What is important is God made a way out for those earnestly seeking to please God and for those who have never had a chance.
This God did forsee and told us about..

It's "allegory" and "mystery" to solve by seek and find the allegory clues to solve the mystery in time, lest all perish.
Noah did both: all God commanded and all the LORD commanded, which were "contrary" commands from "contrary" commanders. Two is not Seven. Mercy is not Sacrifice. Grace is not Law.
Noah endead in the hall of shame: Hebrews 11.
These all "died" and "received not the promise".
God hath provided some better thing for "us".
The Lord is longsuffering to "us-ward"(not them-ward).
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

God clearly failed in every attempt to create man. He destroyed his creation how many times, and still what we have now is the best he could do. That alone should convince people that god is a bad idea.

God doesn't create sin. God gave man a free will to choose right and wrong.

He wanted humans to have choices to make that would eventually bring them to holy righteous character. That way they become righteous, not because they are robotic but because they have seen the folly of evil.

Because the concept of original sin did not appear until well after the alleged time of Jesus
