If the omniscient God knows Satan will create or promote sin in the world, why did he create him?

Question

Simply not creating him would have spared people from Hell and spared Jesus' life.

Uncle Thesis: Bad comparison. If I KNEW for a fact my son would become a mass-murderer then it would be my fault for bringing him into the world and causing those murders. Since I don't know that will happen, it's not my fault if it does.

Answer 1

Satan: The Original Fall Guy (both figurative and literal)

Answer 2

If God could have created Bruce and Molly rather of Adam and Eve the outcomes could have been the comparable. If every person has their very own unfastened will sin will effect. In answer on your question, the only different determination is to not have created mankind in any respect. yet God says that that's good that he created guy on day 6. it form of feels angels even have unfastened will. We study in Rev. 12 that devil took a third of the angels with him. needless to say this works in God's plans. we at the instant are not conscious approximately each and all of the mysteries of God. I disagree that we in our finite minds have a gripe against a limiteless God whose introduction does the two good an evil. however the factor is, except God purely created computers to be programed to purely do good could desire to we've this ideal sinless worldwide. So, the superb answer to those people it bothers is the only thank you to circumvent sin is to abolish all their unfastened will, or on no account create them in any respect.

Answer 3

By selectively creating beings that only will obey and serve himself god would be acting well...like satan, simply trying to make a bunch of slaves/robots that inherently have no choice of their own. Love doesn't exist in this type of society.

God realized the implications of a bunch of robots and would rather have beings that choose to love and serve him and each other of their own free will. God understood the implications of true free will...and he also planned for the consequences and was completely ready to help everyone understand the power and problem of choice. He did that with Jesus.

Would you rather be a robot? I suppose if you were you wouldn't be asking questions...

I would surmise there is much more behind your questions than you are letting on...what's up? Ever read "The Great Controversy" by Ellen G. White or watched "The Matrix"?

Answer 4

When God created Satan he was not satan. He was Lucifer, an angel of light. Angels were created as sentient beings who have the power of free will and choice just like men do. Lucifer chose to rebell against God and therefore was cast out of Heaven and became Satan, who is an enemy to God still and the liar and deciever. God sees the end from the beginning and knew what Lucifer would do, and therefore is somehow part of God's plan of Salvation, as Satan's temptations actually give us a choice between good and evil.

Answer 5

Well for one thing he did not create him that way, he fell from grace and it was a pretty big fall considering that he was a cherubim that covered the mercy seat, so through his fall he has been used to try or test God's children,....why would God allow that you might say ,.....because if he didn't test us in this flesh age to be proven,...their might be a possibility that another spiritual entity like Satan would end up causing another great rebellion,...we wouldn't want that now,....Let me put it in simpler terms, one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch.......(A little yeast will Levin the whole lump) This is why we must be tested by Satan if we are to gain eternal life. Was not Christ tempted in the wilderness,...he being our example as to what we might go through for the word's sake,..... If we overcome this world through Christ we then become worthy of eternal life!

Answer 6

God made us because He loves us - we were created in the image of the living God. Satan was an angel - a created being. Satan "chose" to highly exalt himself above God - so God cast him into Hell. God gives us a choice - lives as though there is no God or choose to love him - that is real love - choosing to know the One Truth God and live by His precepts. God knew before the foundation of the world that man would choose his own way - that Jesus would have to come and die for us - but God made us anyway - that is true love. God is so good. You need to change your way of thinking - thinking that God is for us - not against us - that He is love and that there is no evil in Him, as it is against His nature. Blessings dear one - find Truth - Jesus.

Answer 7

Because he is no a puppeteer! God created people even Satan to be free thinkers. We can do whatever we want. True love is not conditional. What is conditional is your way to heaven. Example: Your parents will always love you. They, in their heart of hearts want you to grow up to be a strong, smart, good person. What they will not tolerate is for you to live under the same roof and break all the rules.

And if you know anything about religion, Satan wasn't always sinful, he chose to be. We all have choices, and no one wants to be a puppet.

Answer 8

Satan is God's agent, obviously. No getting around that one.

The "free will" dodge only satisfies religious idiots. If God gave Satan free will, and he chose to abuse it, then obviously God's gift was ill-given. God should've known better - and by definition MUST have known better. Either Satan's Fall was part of God's plan from the beginning, or God is not all-knowing and all-powerful.

The same goes for the "Fall of Man." The bedrock fact is that there is no satisfactory excuse for the existence of "evil" in the world within the context of theism.

Answer 9

satan (notice the lower case? It's a sign of disrespect and shows I don't give equal billing to the son of perdition. Anyway I digress) has as we all do, freedom of choice. God knowing satans actions before hand gave HIM (God) a catalyst I believe by whice he could weed out the chafe and teres of his creations and we too could be witness to the contempt-able actions of evil doers ourselves by which we wound not dispute their judgment-Perdition. Also satan is the necessary component to contrast goodness from evil.

Answer 10

God did not 'create' Satan. The Bible tells us that Lucifer was a beautiful angel, who was a singer. He apparently was so good at it, he had a following of angels and one day decided he was as good as God! When he tried to overthrow heaven, God kicked him out. Hell was prepared for Lucifer and all the other fallen angels, and the plan made that they would be placed there at the 'end of time', but Lucifer is determined that he won't spend eternity there by himself, so he wanders the earth, searching for those who will follow him (all the way to hell!).
