Why did God create the angel that became Satan? Is it the same reason why he created murderers, rapists,?

Question

& serial killers? Or is it that thing again called "free will" and the person choses to kill, murder, or rape?

How and why do you believe free will does not exist? Don't you make choices everyday?

Answer 1

yes, its free well. God, our Almighty Creator, dont want us to be murderers, serial killers or rapists, because He is love. God gives us the free will to decide and choose what the best for us in our own ways. With free will, we possess intellect that supersede lower animals and conscience to supersede evil. God created us all beautiful... even rapist or serial killers can turn on the bright side if they want to change... all we do here in a mortal world is a challenge, if you can be good, you can be bad...its up all to you how you will run your life- after all life is already a precious gift God has given us.

Answer 2

God didn't create Satan.

That angel had a good position in heaven but instead chose to step out of place desiring what was not his to take.
This made him an opposer to God.
Satan means 'opposer'

People that deliberately rape murder etc do so from their own free will , it was their choice.

Satan , and his followers however have used their free will to do bad.
This makes them enemies of God ,,and the Bible says that a time is coming soon that all opposer's will be done away with.

Then the Earth will be filled with righteous peoples from all nations that want to live in peace according to and under the laws of the true God.

Answer 3

God creates angels, but He does not give them free will. Only human beings have free will. Since no angel has free will, then it was IMPOSSIBLE for Lucifer to disobey and rebel against God. Lucifer never became Satan, because angels haven't the capacity to do this.

God gives us all free will, and it's our choice if we're gonna do what He wants, or what we want. Some people choose murder, rape, grand theft, etc. for various reasons. Even then, God will not control their actions like toy soldiers. It is up to US to change and be good, we are not toys. God actually shows us this respect by letting us CHOOSE. If we're gonna choose Him, it is of our OWN volition, not of His force. Never force.

Answer 4

I believe about "free will " if fact I am contemplating if I decided to be a serial killer or a Saint who will sacrifice her life to do good to others. In each decision,I will die any way. As a serial killer I will waste a lots of life,and my life will be wasted too in jail or in death.As a do good er to others,when I die on natural death I will be remembered as Saint Peonies ,people will even pray on me.I don't know if God created me,it is a science fact ,I was created by sexual intercourse of a male and female humans.

Answer 5

I think, God doesn't created satan, murderers, but his creatures againts Him. Doesn't heard what does the Lord said and dooesn't follow Him. God give us free will, but we have to responsible with what which God has been give us. But his creature never satisfied, they always wanting more and more, and want to be the strongest creature and get everything, command everything, even though the creature want to commanding God.
But the reality, nobody can destroy God, because God is rightful of the earth, heaven and the hell.

Answer 6

God might have given us free will but he/she did not give us the capacity to use it. The so call morality and conscience that we are so proud of were not granted by God. We got it by eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowlege. So if you feel proud because you have a conscience, thank the snake and Eve, not God. He/She kicked us out of the Garden of Eden for gaining a conscience

Answer 7

speaking as an ex christian, even though I dont believe in it any more, it is still logical if you think about it (the devil free-will part) If its a toss up between having a choice to do whatever the hell I please and everyone else being able to do the same, even if evil exists, or to be an emotionless, soulless robot, the obvious choice is free will.

Answer 8

man's mythological means to explain the inexplicable ;
psychology for all it shortcomings is still a far better bet .
And ethics and justice is improving aside from political
immoralities embedded in the system.

Answer 9

Yes your right, it is all about free will and choice.

They all choose to do evil, and God didn't made us like cloned robots.

Each has different personality...

Answer 10

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:

"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.

The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?

All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
