Especially since God is supposed to be Love. If Satan is in "God's ultimate plan" then why are Christians mad at Satan and not God for creating him?

In other words-how can something perfect create something that's imperfect-could it be that "God" is imperfect or should this be seen as the fairy tale that it is?

So if we were created in God's image is "God" a selfish jerk that takes pride in himself and likes to kill people indiscriminately as well as being a hypocrite?

Blah, Blah, Blah-no I am not accepting Jesus into my heart-this question wasn't asked because I wanted to know. I was just bored and wanted to amuse myself-mission accomplished.

good question.And the answer is, it's not possible.
satan is yet another part of false xtian doctrine, where early xtians bastardized a jewish concept and linked it with pagan imagery to scare peple into converting.

Heh thats a great question.
Added to that, If God knew that Satan would create evil and sin, why did he decide to create an everlasting torture.
If God is the only judge, then he could have come up with a discipline that was a little more equitable. Believing that torturing people for eternity is a just punishment, shows how sick religion can be.

Who ever said that hate is imperfect? Hate is the opposite of God. The only imperfection is the human mind. Therefore God had to create a being so that man could understand the concept of love. Because how does one define up with out down?

Heh thats a large question. extra to that, If God knew that devil could create evil and sin, why did he settle directly to create an enduring torture. If God is the only choose, then he could have arise with a self-discipline that replaced right into a sprint greater equitable. Believing that torturing human beings for eternity is a purely punishment, shows how ill faith could be.

God is Perfect and Holy, satan was an angel, angels have freewill like man. The devil made the wrong choice, just like we make bad choices, now the difference is that Jesus will forgive us of our sins if we repent, for satan there is no going back and as you can see by the evil in the world today he doesn't want to go back. satan likes being evil. satan is doomed to hell. We are not doomed if we fell, If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour then Christ will forgive you of all your sins if you ask him too. But in order to get forgiveness you must be a born again believer. If you feel the Holy Spirit touching your heart right now you can be saved today, Just say this Prayer, Dear Jesus, I believe you are the son of God, I believe you came to earth to die on a cross for me to be a perfect sacrifice for my sins and rose from the grave the third day, I know and confess that I am a sinner in need of your salvation. I ask you to come into my heart now and save me, in Jesus name I Pray, Amen... If you just Prayed that Pray with a sincere heart you are now saved and Jesus lives inside your heart. Find a church, get you a Bible and start reading. Its a wonderfull world being a born again Christian. If you have questions please feel free to send me an email. Good luck to you and God Bless YOU!!

What you are asking is, I think, impossible for us to fully understand in this life. That being said, we do know some things. We know that there is evil, and we know that evil is not concrete but is in fact an absence of what is good. Therefore God did not create evil; everything he created was good in so far as it possessed being. To some of his creatures God gave an intellect and a free will. The evil one, who was at one time a good angel, became prideful and rejected God, the source of all goodness. So God did not "create" the lack of goodness in the evil one, the evil one chose of his own free will to empty himself of what is good. To blame this on God is to commit the error of predestinationism, which is to say that because God is omniscient everything that happens is predetermined. This in turn leads to the error that nobody has free will. However our experience is that we do have free will. So we must conclude that in God's omnipotence he made creatures with free will who are capable of rejecting what is good. Our peanut sized brains have a hard time understanding how omniscience and free will can co-exist, because it is impossible for us to think without using time constructs. We can't help but think of God as being in time like we are, and for this reason we end up making many errors. God is love, but God did give us the ability to reject what is good, and therefore there is hate in the world. But hate is nothingness, and therefore has no power over those who turn to the mercy, love and forgiveness of Christ. Through Christ we can regain today the good that we rejected yesterday. God bless.

Satan was created perfect. Satan faced a choice. Satan freely decided to rebel against God. God is, of course, the first cause of everything that happens; Satan is the second cause. This does NOT negate Satan's culpability for how he exercised his freedom of choice!

Just to add a bit - a perfect God wouldn't have created a heaven in which a rebellion was possible.

Are you not a believer? God is perfect. He is all good, LOVE, JOY, and PEACE. There is no Satan, that was made up by man to put fear (FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL) into you. The bible was written and rewritten by man when they didn't even experience walking with Jesus when he walked this earth.
God Bless

Unless God directed him to, then he could not.
How could Satan bask in the love of God, and turn against it? Obviously the love is not that strong....
