The names Devil & Satan mean: Slanderer & Resister, respectively. When created, the angel (who later made himself the Devil) was perfect, just like all the other of God's creations. When he resisted God's righteous ways, he became Satan the Devil. He slandered God when he said that God was hiding things of benefit from mankind. He slandered Job when he claimed that Job only served God because he wasn't experiencing hard times... Satan claimed that no man would serve God out of true appreciation!
So... No, God did not create any resisters or slanderers.
In fact, it is his plan to do away with them all, forever!

Yes, he did. I think He created the devil to make people learn about their own mistakes. God created this because God knew it. and God alone knows why.

The thought of a created devil is another excuse for human criminal actions. The so-called 'devil" is ones own ego. You know the right from wrong so dont blame it on fiction.

If you read the Holy Bible you will know the answers. Satan was created as one of God's angels. He was given free will. He decided He was God, that's why he got kicked out of heaven. One third of God's angels decided to go with him, they are the demons that roam the earth along with Satan.

Go to the library. Check out a copy of A History of Satan, by Elaine Pagels. Read and understand.

Yes, God created Lucifer and he was sort of like the captain of a band of angels. However, Lucifer became prideful and exalted himself above God...so, he was booted and Lucifer convinced a number of angels to join him--the fallen angels.
Blessings.

Yes, he was an angel. But he thought he was as powerful as God. God allows him to be evil, and can stop him whenever he pleases.

God created all the angels, so yes, but the Devil made his own decision.
