And if god created the devil with full knowledge of what was going to occur (being omnipotent and all),... doesn't that make god evil, or at least, stupid???

Well, God created everything. God created the concept of disobedience and overall that is what a sin is. Sin is not really a physical thing. It is an action. And I know this is going to really confuse you, but Satan hasn't been casted out of heaven yet. That happens in the future. You see, right now the arch angel Michael is guarding the earth. But he will later leave his post to kick Satan out of heaven. When that happens, Satan will come to earth and be embodied as the Anti-Christ.
Revelation 12:7-9
"7And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

God created us all and we all have sinned. Is that all God's fault? No. Yes, satan rebelled against Gods plan and wanted all the power and glory for himself instead of God. He wanted to force everyone to do things his way which of course, would not work. So God cast him out to the earth where he later tempted Eve and Adam (and all of mankind). God gives freewill. He is not responsible for how we use it, we are.

Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God told them not to eat from that tree, because as long as humans were not aware of evil we did not choose to practice it. God always chooses Good.
Satan's sin was pride, he decided he knew better than God. If you think about it in terms of: God designed and created Satan, then this creation turned to his maker and said - I know more than you, we are going to do it my way. It's kind of absurd, it would be like me making a batch of cookies, then one of the cookies looks up at me as says - I know you made me a cookie, but I'm going to be a banana.

Yeah, Sin wasn't created in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve just became aware of its existence.

yes satan was once a angel but then he wanted God to stop bossing him around and wanted to have power like him and i dont beleive that sin was created in Heaven because sin to me cannot be in Heaven because Heaven is with God and sin does not come from God but from satan who was kicked out of Heaven

Yes. Sin started in the heart of Lucifer when he wanted to be like God.
12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
He then started to stir up emnity amoung the angels until he brought down 1/3 of them to follow him rather than God. He was then expelled to earth.

Christians invented Satan so they wouldn't have to take responsibility for their own actions or thoughts. Before they hijacked the word as their devil's name, the PRE-Christian word 'satan' meant 'inner adversary'. That's where Satanists got their name from - it has nothing to do with the Christian devil deity.

no wrong.satan made himself sin against God,he didn't have to.he was so jealous he wanted all God's glory.angels have free will and he made a huge mistake by going against God. and satan will lose in the end.

Ezekiel 28:15 Â Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Iniquity was NOT put into Lucifer. It was later found in him. His pride caused him to choose to sin against GOD.
GOD bless
