.....which makes him the Creator of Satan, as He is the Creator of every entity.
Satan was created first, then came his will to sit on the throne and have the position of the Christ. Satan then started a great war.
Thats why we are here in this flesh age:
because of that war. God is giving everyone an opportunity to make an ultimate choice of who they prefer to follow.
In order to make that plan work, a couple of things had to hold true:
First, that each soul would have complete free will to make decisions WITHOUT THE INTERFERENCE from God (God cries each and every day that he has to keep that promise)
And second, theres not much use in being given the choice between good and good.
Satan was condemned to death, but he is still not destroyed - Why?
Because we need a comparitor. He is your comparitor.
He will be destroyed when God is finished using him, along with all those people who seem to think they are somehow superior
to the Living God. Pure arrogance. Pure
stupidity.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Well, I'm no official word, but supposedly Satan wanted to be like God so he was cast into hell. Honestly, I think evil always exist anyways. I wonder if it's just something you can't avoid. I personally think that maybe God didn't realize that there was always going to be evil. This is something we may never know. But perhaps free will was the explanation behind this. Perhaps free will was what created Satan's nature. Since God did create free will, this might be the answer. Perhaps God wasn't there to see Lucifer through his ideas. Will we ever figure this one out? Probably not, for the most part.

when we talk about the higher power, "god" as you call it, you must remember that everything comes from this power. in one of my favorite movies there is a song about this. "without evil there can be no good, so it must be good to be evil sometimes." the truth is that "god" is not good or evil. god just is. there is no such thing as black and white magic, there is just magic. there are no such things as different races we are all just human. these are simplew truths. i'll say it once again. without evil there can be no good. now maybe there was just a bunch od bnoring nothing before "satan" turned against "god" and that is more likely where the universe came from. i also kinda believe that "god" might have multiple personalities and he could be both "god" and "satan" that makes a lot of sense when you think about mental health in humans, and "god" made us from his image.

God created Lucifer as an angel. Lucifer had a power issue and was kicked out of heaven for trying yo overthrow God. So Lucifer has become Evil and is the father of Evil not God.

No, because evil has no existence of its own. It is real, but it not a real thing, for evil does not exist in the things themselves, but in our choice of how to use them. For example, I have a good arm (well, two of them actually). If I hit somebody with it, the evil is not in the arm itself, but my choice of how to use the arm.

God created free will. He did not want to force us to live Him. The devil only tempts us, we as humans have the choice to make wrong decisons, we bring the evil upon ourselves sadly.

A myth ~ a story. Sounds good in print. Scares the savages quite well. God doesn't exist ~ otherwise he wouldn't let the innocent suffer. Evil and good are man made.

Demons do no longer exist. Your cult made them as much as scare human beings into submission, to apply as the thank you to accuse them of crimes they did no longer commit, and to do away with their products "interior the call of the church." you're between the tiny cogs interior the great wheel of human lack of expertise, and you preserve human beings ignorant and worried. shame on you.
